	\| ''Portal: Still Alive'' contains 14 bonus chambers. ~~In the 14th~~ chamber~~, the sign~~ at the beginning shows the "cake" light on, which usually means there will be an escape sequence at the end of the chamber. But when the chamber is completed, the usual elevator ride occurs and the player is returned to the menu. However, an icon for ~~a 15th chamber~~ exists in the files, ~~which shows~~ a section of the escape sequence from the original [[Portal: The Flash Version MapPack]], ~~which~~ '~~'Still Alive'''s bonus levels were based off of~~. ~~Unfortunately~~, ~~the actual map does~~ not ~~exist anywhere~~ in the files, ~~meaning~~ the ~~15th chamber cannot actually be played~~.		\| ''Portal: Still Alive'' contains 14 bonus chambers. However, it appears that a 15th chamber was at one point planned, as an icon for it exists in the files, showing a section of the escape sequence from the original [[Portal: The Flash Version MapPack]]. This is further supported by the entrance sign in chamber 14 showing the "cake" light on; this usually indicates the chamber will end in an escape sequence, but chamber 14 doesn't.

			No playable 15th chamber exists anywhere in the final game, and it is also not present in the leaked map source files, so what the map looked like outside of this one screenshot is unknown.
