My conclusion based on this game:
This entire game is the Rat Man's delusion which he sinks into to psychologically compensate for the loss of his beloved Companion Cube due to its incineration by Chell. In this delusion, before the Companion Cube died, it somehow had a child (this doesn't have to actually be possible, seeing as the Rat Man is crazy). That child is Quoosh. And now the Rat Man must spend the rest of demented eternity testing Quoosh GLaDOS-style.

listen. this game is good. it has great mechanics and is fun and challenging. nice art style, good music and voice acting. but why is it portal? why does it follow the trend that every flash puzzle game is a lab with a menacing overseer who betrays you, the test subject? I like this game, but I would respect it more if it had a more original premise. at least you acknowledge the inspiration though.
The odd thing is that it started with an original premise, but nobody was getting it. All of a sudden when I put it in a portal setting everyone suddenly understood. Strange no?

The main feature of the game is the teleporting. Having a badge that tells you to not use the main feature of the game is a very silly idea.

You really should be able to replay a level to improve your score instead of starting a new game each time. Ain't nobody got time for that!

5/5... LOVE the evil scientist voice, enjoying the whole flow of the game as well as the challenge of the puzzles. the controls are also easy to work for a more 'casual gamer' like me. one thing though (and I know, I'm asking this of a pixel game), it would be nice to have quality levels e.g. reduce effects etc because my computer is daft and struggles with running the game sometimes.

a good concept but, honestly i kinda just said screw this at the end because i was getting really frustrated when there were a lot of really close timing bits at the end and i couldnt complete them due to the teleports either getting cancelled or just not happening when i clicked. Also the camera moves kinda wierd and makes it difficult to predict where the reticle is going to be after a quick fall. just what i think

Really enjoyed the game, though i think it was a bit too "portalish", at some points i laughed really loud, while sometimes I only heard an "it resembles portal and does jokes about it, laugh, man" joke. Great idea, great voice actor and great game, though.

Absolutely hilarious. It's good to see portals producing offspring of black comedy and puzzle combinations. Thoroughly enjoyed it and have no idea why it's not 4 star average at least.

Trying to beat each level in a certain number of warps is awful. At best this is an average game..but limiting the warps just makes it into a miserable experience.

I really love this game. I really like this paradigm of the portal "genre". This is actually quite beautiful. Thanks guys.

Great game, I've been playing this game over and over again to try to optimize it. Only thing missing is a mute button (the voice acting is amazing but I don't want to listen to it every time I play :p).

TIP: do not put the death boxes on your respawn point. I made that mistake and sat though 5 minutes of death cycles before I realized nothing else was going to happen.
