In Search of Cake - Flash Portal Conversion


If you've played Portal, you're sure to have heard of Portal: The Flash Version. Well, as contemporary culture goes, evolution takes on a cyclical pattern. The Flash Version has been counter-ported into the real portal as a huge map pack. It's almost a standalone.


I swear to you, if you thought regular Portal was confusing, these 40 levels will mindfuck you properly. The puzzles are often three dimensional and being in first-person, you really have to have very good spatial memory... and yes, it's got the gawddamn electric floors, red-blue barriers from the Flash Version.

I won't spoil it for you guys but it's got this epic running storyline that connects to the Half-Life and Portal timelines. In addition it brings you deeper into the other facets of the Aperture Science labs, hinting at some of the conspiracies, philosophy and speculations surrounding the Half-Life / Portal universe.

You can check it out and download the pack from the creator's site.

"You're not even going the right way." I love it.
