If I invented a fantastic new type of gadget, I'd sit in my room and play with it all day. But that's not science, and in Yury Grigoryev's new puzzle platform game Portal Quest a minimum wage lab worker—that's you—has ended up in a deadly testing lab with today's new toy, a portal gun. Your goal is to escape the lab, moving with [WASD] and firing your portal gun by clicking the mouse. The portals are linked, so walking into one sees you emerge from the other, allowing unusual ways around a room.
Portal Quest takes obvious cues from both Valve's Portal and Portal: The Flash Version, but distinguishes itself with short, snappy puzzles and a clean pixel-art style of its own. Portal veterans will appreciate the way complex rooms end up with simple solutions and players new to the concept will also find a solid puzzle game in front of them. It's missing GlaDos, and cake, but makes up for it with 30 levels of perfectly pitched brainteasers. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.

Just go to the door.
Level 2
Fire an entry portal onto the roof over the door.
Make a second one in the wall to walk into.

Level 8
Jump over the springs to avoid being fired into the laser.
Level 9
Place a blue portal on the ground one square in from the left.
Place an orange portal directly above it, creating an infinite loop.
When you've built up speed, move the orange portal to the top of the left hand wall, so that you launch out of it to the right.
Walk to the door.
Level 10
Make an infinite loop with portals above and below yourself.
Once you've built up speed, move the top portal to the right of the laser, so that you're launched out of it.
Hold right to get to the door at the top of your jump.
Level 11
Since the blue laser can't hurt you, this is easier than it appears. Fire one portal left and another right, and walk through from the left.
Move the left-hand portal to the ceiling, then walk right, so you fall out of it and land on the laser.
Fire a portal left and another one right, and walk through the left-hand one. This will leave you standing on the laser on the right.
Move the left-hand portal below you, then walk right and to the door.
Level 12
Fire a portal above the blue laser.
Fire a second portal into the ceiling so the cube bounces off it and lands besides you.
Press R to clear the portals.
Put the cube on the box and walk to the exit.
Level 13
Walk to the right and put your first portal against the wall on the left, where the laser hits it.
Put a second portal at the same height on the right.
Walk across the laser to the exit.

Fire your second portal to the right. There's a wall just off-screen.
Use the spring to bounce yourself through the portal on the right, then drop from the top one onto the laser.
Walk to the exit.
Level 15
The blue paint makes the floor bouncy where it lands. Open a portal below it, and a second on the ceiling, so that the floor will be bouncy.
Jump off the starting platform, or follow the goo through the portal, and you'll bounce high off the goo.
Hold right to get to the exit.
Level 16
The red paint makes surfaces slippery, allowing you to move faster. Use a portal below the paint dispenser, and one on the ceiling, to make the right hand edge of the starting platform slippery.
Run right and jump once you've built up speed.
You should be able to leap the gap to the exit.
Level 17
The white paint allows you to place portals on walls that otherwise don't allow it. Put a blue portal below the paint dispenser, and an orange one on the wall to the right.
Follow the paint through the portal, but don't fall onto the laser.
Move the orange portal to the wall the paint is hitting.
Move the blue portal to your right, then walk through it.

Walk back through your portals so you're on the right of the screen, but again, don't fall.
Place a new portal on the wall in the center, and walk to that.

Stand on the lower button so that both doors are open.
Put a portal on the right hand wall, and then make one next to yourself so you can go through it.
Level 21
Make a blue portal below the blue laser.
Jump and fire an orange portal at the right hand wall, so that the laser comes out of it below you.
Work your way up the wall like this. Remember you can press Q to change the color of the portal you fire (you don't want to remove the blue one).
