When you get stuck - remember the Aperture Labs motto - “There’s a hole in the sky through which things can fly.” 
Sounds like fun, I can’t wait! I think I’m going to buy HL2 just so I can get in on this Portal action.
There’s some ‘in-game’ footage in the trailer, so you’ll just have to download it and have a look. Then have another look, and another…
