Flashy Friday: Portal

I know what you're thinking, Portal is it's own first-person shooter/puzzle video game, not a flash game. That is completely true but, there is also a 2D platforming version available of Newgrounds. The game pretty much plays exactly like Valve's Portal, except now you're in 2D and the difficulty is bordering on insane. Weirdly enough, the flash version of Portal was the first version of Portal I played, which made me play Valve's original masterpiece.

The guy who created this flash game really did a superb job with the level design. Sentry guns (spies keep sappin' my sentry!) are strategically placed where if you don't use a companion cube or create a portal for them to disappear, you're going to get shot, and most likely die. The end-game levels are just ridiculous with moving platforms tat will lead you to death if you don't place your portals perfectly along the way.

Aiming is real nice though, since you use the mouse over the screen and press either Q, E or left click for a portal. There are forty levels for you to mess around with and you are almost guaranteed not to beat this in one day. Don't worry though, this flash game will save your progress and provide you a great challenge.
