YAY!!! Nariko and Kai!!!

[netguy503]

Kai, Buzz, and (maybe) Sev is something that looks like you can easily make yourself in the game. I'm not biting.

I'm on both sides of the fence on this. On one hand, it's cool that people who missed out get a chance to get Nariko - but on the other, it seems kind of cheap to those who took the time to do a pre-order and bought this game on faith.

So, much for having a collector's item.

It seems the only thing that was actually a collector's items was the "Week 1" T-Shirt - of course, you had to pay for that.

Pisses me off that HS will get Kai now.. I already have Nariko... and what's the point of a preorder bonus if everyone can get it?

You get an item that other people will pay for for free?

The point of the preorder was to get an item that was rare, and not very many people would have, I could care less if I got it for free. Kinda backfiring against the people who really wanted the game..

I've unlocked back my level this morning (I've locked it last night to work again on it).

And I would really appreciated some comments on it from someone who hadn't try it before. Because I had a comment that it was almost impossible to find out what to do in the level (even after fixing the issue Cymbole found last day)... but now I've added more explanations (way too much in my opinion but it seems to be necessary).

I've revenged my self and beat your own score 7k+ (the key is the yellow grabbing cylinder... dangerous but very efficient!)

And I've noticed the lights change and musics now! Very cool. But I was wondering, some white light are turning off sometimes. Is it supposed to be a hint of something? or thats what you meant to be distracting?

I know! I noticed that last night - you are an animal!!! I expect that score to stay there for quite a while. I got 6,000+ points, but that was a really good run and I have gotten much over 3,000 since.

Yes, the Gold areas are basically "bonus" points. But like you said, it's dangerous. In the moon, if you don't get out in time you're dead - but that's why the lights turn red, to warn you that you're getting close to the gas.

You have put a VERY tough score up there to beat. But I would rather have another player's name up at the top over mine. Cause it shows anyone can get it. (I'll be putting a comment in a magic mouth about you having the score to beat in the level sometime in the next few days.)

And I've noticed the lights change and musics now! Very cool. But I was wondering, some white light are turning off sometimes. Is it supposed to be a hint of something? or thats what you meant to be distracting?

Mostly, it's supposed to be distracting and making it tough on those players who can last longer. It wouldn't be much fun if the level stayed the same and never offered anything new as you got better.

It is also another danger, because the white lights and red lights randomly turn on and off, and now you can't always be positive (unless you remember their location) which colored peg you are grabbing.

So, it is all done to ramp up the difficulty.

How did you die? I assume to got to the point where the strobe lights turned on - did the plasma balls start firing? That was how I died at 6,000+ - a plasma ball.

Anyway, great job! I think that score will stay up there for a long time.

The ramp is perfect. Just enough for the challenge without being frustrating.

Yes I died because of the plasma. (I think it was the second plasma). Strangely I stand way longer in my previous tried which results in a lower score of 5k+, and I was quite doing a good job avoiding the plasma with the moons. But I forgot that strategy in my last try. So I really think I can deliver better!

Anyway, great job! I think that score will stay up there for a long time.

I really don't think. Unless players don't give it enough time.

Also you were speaking about an effect that you had too remove. What was it?

Wait, so are they going to start selling Nariko, or are they just doing that other girl?

Either way, I don't really see it being a big deal if they sell Nariko. For the people who pre-ordered, they basically got it for free, and got to show it off for a few months while it was still a big deal.

I think the only people that should be mad about it are the people who bought the Nariko codes on eBay for upwards of $40-50, or made some crazy trades to get one.

Soooo...there's supposed to be an announcement on the Little Big Workshop later today, detailing a new contest for the creator crown... I wonder what the theme will be...? They did kinda hint at survival challenges a few weeks ago.

Cymbol, If it is, you should totally enter Puzzle Wheel Survival Challenge!

So should I get upset when they inevitably put the ISA/Helghast costumes on Home that I got for free for preordering through Amazon? AFAIK the only one they mentioned would only be there for a limited time and never again was the 1st week shirt.

I saw that - that is totally INSANE!!!

I was trying to beat your score of 7,000+ points - I thought I might have done it - then I got to the scoreboard and saw your score!

Wow! I never thought anybody would ever get over 12,000.

How long do you think you were alive?

maybe 1 or 2 minutes after the big flashing strobe! I almost had an epileptic crisis (just kidding). I died because of my girl friend (evil witch!! ) she start to talk to me... and had to talk back... and then boom! I've jump on the electric circle! I had my winning routine. Yellow grabbing cylinder, big blu grabbing, in the moon, jump on the red platform, jump back on the yellow big bonus and repeat. I think to avoid people just repeat and repeat the same paturn you should electrify some time the red platform beside the yellow grabbing bonus or make it turning... also, maybe just ramp a little bit more the speed of the wheel after some point it would give more a sens of urge and challenge.

But anyway it still my favorite challenge up to now!

Edit: Even more fun, you shoud keep that one like that and do another one "hard" (like some of the challenge in the main story mode) and keep the same wheel, but make all the parts "randomly" turning... so some times it would be impossible (let say) to jump in the moon (or other place). That would force us to try new paths.
