Tetris, krazy kreatures, dr mario, and Im about out. I don't mind the mods taking liberties with the category to make it playable. And I got to level 3 tonight finally and it was fucking puzzling. Clear the whole board but one, no way to get back there without turning others back. I was goddamn puzzled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear the whole board but one, no way to get back there without turning others back. I was goddamn puzzled I think one thing that makes the puzzle genre different from the other 5 or 6 genres we play here is that generally speaking, gamers do not approach it casually. People tend overwhelmingly to either love it and spend a lot of time with it or have no interest in it with the exception of a game or three like Tetris, that has a more uncharacteristic universal appeal and can be played in short bursts. So maybe what I'm saying is most applicable to puzzle adventure games specifically, which require a more serious expenditure of time and energy for problem solving. To make just one counter-example to stand for the rest of the genres, many people who are not deeply into arcade games like to dabble in them a lot, have a quick play and move on, which works with most genres because they are more pick up and play as opposed to being presented with a schematic that one must think their whole way through before making a move... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,020 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Life Force, man. I died to one of those little fast moving orbs from stage 6. Oh well there's plenty of time to do this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,020 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Okay, the first five levels are a bit of a cakewalk. It's the last level that is kind of a bitch to beat without a death. I want to do this, though. Not just for the tournament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the hardest level in the game by far. After that it's just a matter of not dying on that last pipe that goes all the way across the screen during the final escape...

I can’t remember it exactly but there is one semi tricky part in the final escape perhaps that’s the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I know what to do in level three, it seems very easy, and I never die there anymore. I hate the section in the last level with the really fast small balls that fly around all over the place and the flames. There doesn't seem to be a strat other than avoid getting hit.

Ya the fire stage isn’t too bad imo. Are you talking about the vertical scrolling stage “really fast small balls” If it’s what I’m thinking I always thought they were like shooting stars.
