I die when that ball hits me in level 5 or 6 i think. Then the game crashes.

what sort of monsters do i kill in this game

The sort of monsters that don't have souls. The kind that don't actually want to kill you, because they are not capable of wanting anything. The sort of monsters that kill you without thought, because they are following routines programmed into their very beings by consciousnesses that have never known, much less cared about who the countless people they have killed with their creations even are.

In short, my favorite sort of monsters.

The monster within yourself. Portal is such a psychological journey.

I have to say that Portal had one of the best endings for a videogame. I still can't get the song out of my head... "This was a triumph..."

frankly it is nothing to write home about, nor is it something that should have become such a phenomenon on the internet.  It's a pretty sub-par song as far as songs go.  Its just that video games tend to have even worse music, so having something that doesn't completely suck donkey balls is such a relief that every video game nerd is going to latch on it as a guiding beacon of light in the troubled times of dying developer creativity.

It's a better song at the end of the game.

Any other version varies from slightly worse to a whole lot worse.
