Portal Pinball Rules

Each player starts gameplay in “the Hub” which is thematically similar to the Portal 2 Cooperative Testing Initiative location of the same name.  In the Hub you will meet Reggie, the “Teambuilding” Personality Core (voiced by Marc Silk) who will encourage and direct you to complete specific objectives or enter and complete the 7 unique Test Chambers.  After completing all the chambers you will have the chance to battle GLaDOS (voiced by Ellen McLain), the AI antagonist who supervises and taunts you throughout the game.  If you complete all the test chambers, you can play the final wizard mode: a face-to-face battle with GLaDOS.The Test Chambers include:

• The Big Fling
• Encouragement via Discouragement
• Proactive Energy Redirection
• It Takes Two
• Shortcuts
• Gels
• Rat Man’s Den

When not in a specific Test Chamber, your goal in the Hub is to prove your skills and increase your score by completing each of 8 objectives and 3 stackable Multiball Modes.  Each Objective and Multiball focuses on different aspects of the physical playfield.The Hub Objectives are:

• Ramp Combos
• Loop Combos
• Repulsion Gel
• Momentum Jump
• Portal Mini-Loops
• Hard Light Bridge
• All Ports
• All Targets

The Multiballs available in the Hub are stackable with one another, feature an add-a-ball component, and can be stacked with objectives. They include:

• Faith Plate Multiball
• Turret Multiball
