There are only two groups of people reading this: People who haven't tried Portal yet, and people who have beaten it and desperately want more. (On the off, off chance you've only started Portal -- what are you doing? Stop reading the internet and go play more!) For the rest of you though, you may be able to find a couple of minutes of diversion (or solace) from Portal: The Flash Game.
Sure, this version may lack it's big brother's sense of humor and 3D graphics, but what is here actually manages to catch the Portal gameplay experience fairly well. Heck, the portals even sound the same. If you've just finished the brilliant game, this Flash outing might just bum you out more, like looking at pictures of an ex-boyfriend, or a recently-euthanized family pet. But we're more than grateful for the shot of methadone to help us kick our addiction.

Why did it take so long for someone to make this awesome flash version. =P
If you have not played Portal, this version will give you a good idea of the kind of tasks you will have in game. It does not however convey the sense of humor, or horror, and it does not probably have as AWESOME an ending as Portal (best game ending in a LLLLOOONGGG time)

I'm on level 38 right now. There seems to be some buggy behavior with boxes and portals. Somehow, the boxes return to their original position, thus getting me stuck in the middle of the level.

wtf
it's just a mechanic game dude, you don't spoil the story or anything
funny thing, i can get the portal on the roof to shoot me UP sometimes, and from there if I go left I can fall to my death off screen :)

I suppose EA is going to sic their lawyers on this, but what they ought to do is cut these guys a cheque and put this thing on the official website.
And maybe rewrite the text... "The box weighs more than you when you were 32." What the hell was that?

I don't think anybody will fuck with this game. If anything, it just doubled my drive to buy the game. It's totally free advertising. If somebody asks "Hey what's Portal?" I can link them to this page and say "THAT BUT IN 3-D WITH THE HALF-LIFE SOURCE ENGINE BITCH!" and they'll have to buy it immediately, especially once I tell them all the other magic in the Orange Box.

Level 15 - If you can get your guy beside the door, and a portal before the blue fryer, the rest should be obvious.
Walkthrough
Portal above entrance, portal down in area after first drop. Jump (don't fall) into portal to gain momentum to launch self over glass wall into area before blue fryer. Use the portal color used in the area after the first drop to make a portal below you. If you are in area near the enterence, and there is a portal near the blue fryer, you are good. Make a portal the same color as the one above the door to make one on the floor. Wait for the blue fryer to turn off - and jump into the portal. Use the momentum to jump up to the blue fryer, jump across the gap, and escape!
I found that level the most devious and the best, because it wasn't a series of puzzles, rather, it was just one big puzzle.
Level 12 - make portal in grey area on the roof. Make portal on floor. Time when you go through so you will land on that moving platform.
Level 9 - Make portal on grey area on roof, make a portal directly below that and jump in. Wee, it never ends! Now make a portal the same color as that one on the roof on the floor, and use the momentum to jump up! On the next gap try to make two portals and jump into one to get up. If you fall - make an infinity portal but make one on the wall as far up as possible and one on the ground. Jump through the ground portal and try to land in it again. If you are successful, you should be launched sufficently!
Level 32 i'll address in a separate comment if i can.

This game is great, very well designed. I'm not getting the real portal till christmas, but i had a load of fun with this one. 15 and 32 we're the best levels in my opinion, although i liked 15 more because it didn't have an SOB turret at the end! Good stuff!

I just realized (my friend realized) in level 32 a better way to do it is to leave the companion cube on the top and you go to the bottom button when you have to press both buttons to get the orb into the receiver. That means less positioning and timing! Ciao.
