it does work, but you need a port then you have to download it :=)

I concur OP, why no Linux support? The depot itself[steamdb.info] doesn't look OS-bound, just the DirectX installer.

What on earth are you talking about?

EDIT:- It even has (What I can only assume) as an OSX executable, plus a bash (I.E. not Windows) script (Although it's identical as the Portal2 non-beta .sh script for OSX) in the installation DIR:-

I'm sure if you just C&P over the Portal2 executable, add -game portal2 to the end, and, run it, it'd probably work, unfortunately, Steam refuses manual override of the OS check.

EDIT2:- From the changelog:-
Added OSx support.

So, they support OSX, they just refuse to let you download it. *YAY*. That's grand, any chance for Linux?

Now, should work, I can't vouch for MacOSX, I'm just wanting Linux support, however, the issue was that you hadn't marked the game as MacOSX compatible in your SteamWork's game management page thingy-ma-do-ha, so, steam refuted access to users downloading on Mac, despite the executables living in the depots, however, seems as that's fixed, so, should work (Can't vouch for actual gameplay, I'm macless).

Anyway, plz support leenax, <3 (P.S. Portal 2 supports Linux on it's beta branch[steamdb.info], if you're wondering how you're going to support it without Portal 2).

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY. YIPPY YIPPY YAY YAY. Downloading it now. How long does it take to beat (I'm a relatively fast learner)? I want to play it today, but, it's getting late, and, I don't want to start it if I'm not going to finish it.

EDIT:- Err, what?
>REMEMBER: If you have any crashes, make sure that you are not in Portal 2 Beta, and verify Portal 2 files.

How do we do this on Linux then? We *have* to be in the Portal 2 beta to get the Portal 2 binaries.

It's an old notice. As of now, beta equal to normal verison. In yesterday's update Linux support has been added to the main release, so it's possible now to run TWTM on Linux. Before that the main problem to make Linux version was because of different libraries in stable and beta branches.

You didn't answer my how-long-to-beat question, why must you ignore me?

Other than that, thanks for the answer.

It's very short mod, but you need to learn new mechanic.
(if you want to try it without any spoilers, just don't read hidden text, and if you stucked, go back to that topic, (or maybe you can see some walkthroughs, if this basic info not enough).
This hint can help you: you can only jump on your past when she is crouching.
Also, control keys in case it will be hard to read them from video: R - start record, Q - stop record, F - play record.

Just got around to beating it, it took me an hour. It was a very fun game, shame it was so short. My only dislike was the level with the ship that came crashing in, it took me about fifteen minutes to realize I had to hit the tiny little buttons on the computer to unlock the door, and, I only worked that out as I went around the entire map spamming 'E'. Other than that, amazing work, thanks!

P.S. Everything worked fine on my box, other than the subtitles for the robots, there were lots of missing fonts (Text was fine, but, between the text there were unicode missing-font icons). The cutscenes/game/logic/etc... all worked fine (Arch Linux x64).
