I also posted this map on mAL and temporarily pointed the download link there until the TWP download DB is fixed.

I will also post the beta of Try Anything Twice on mAL (should be any day now... ).
I'll give you guys a heads up when that happens of course.

Excellent - creativity in the puzzles and challenging to execute. Well Done....

This is the best Portal Map I have ever played. I am addicted to this map. I. LOVED. THE. RUBE GOLDBERG MACHINE. That entire sequence was awesome. I watched it fail like seven times before I realized "Oh, yeah, the plugs don't have to be in that order!". And the modular portaling platform at the end, I had planned for something like that in the mod I'm working on now. Although not as a reward for a puzzle anywhere NEAR as awesome as it was.

This map was wonderful. Exactly the sort of novelty I was hoping for when I decided to see what kinds of custom maps were available online.

[spoiler]Until I read this thread, I didn't realize how the earlier mini-puzzles teach the skills you need to run the big machine--very clever. Perhaps they primed my subconscious, though, because I didn't have too much trouble.[/spoiler]

My only complaint is that it was over too quickly.

I just realised I only have the beta version of this. Downloading and playing the full version...

I have not read most of the posts in this thread because I haven't finished this mod, so I apologize if somebody else has posted this. So far I really like it but I'm pretty sure I found a work-around that skips what looks to be half the level.

*POSSIBLE SPOILER*
Soon after getting the upgraded portal gun, when you can go back to the first room of the game you can immediately finish the map:
First, take one of the boxes outside the room to use on the button in the exit room.
Next, shoot a portal on the far wall near the floor button (not the ceiling), where the height is roughly on par with an upper wall tile.
Next, shoot the other portal right next to the door.
Finally, stand right next to the door and drop the box on the portal near the door so that the box has momentum.
The box will fall through the portal and onto the floor button, and roll off of it. However, the box will have been on the button long enough for you to walk through the door quickly. With the other box outside you'll be able to finish the level in no time.

That's a very clever short-cut! I was able to replicate this after a few tries, but I think it's hard enough to let it stand as an "alternate solution". (Just like Valve left a few similar short-cuts in the official maps.)

However this is something to keep in mind for future maps. Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad I got the full version and played it.
It is very good.
Because quite a few people have already related this tio the impossible machine, I shall buy the impossible machine....

It's called "the incredible machine"

However it's quite old, and I don't know if it's still for sale at this time. (Try http://www.gog.com.)
