Tutorial

Overview

​The past is such a curious creature is a Portal 2 mod level that focuses on the gameplay of the weighted cube, bouncing, and portal mechanics. Based on our theme, we tried to make good use of every behavior made by the player to help solve the following puzzles. I created several sublevels/puzzles to demonstrate that the "past" is always with the player for the following challenges, sometimes it helps, and sometimes it blocks your way forward. 

In addition, the classic portal level issues are also concerned which helps polish this level. For example, the player may always find a way back when they tried the wrong way to solve the puzzle so that they could try other ways to solve the puzzle. In the official portal 2 level, there will usually have a portal-able surface for the player back to the checkpoint area.
