Hmmm... My face when I play the first time attack stage and I didn't find it much fun due to the pacing, only to find out every stage added on this update was a time attack stage, woe is me.
I tried reducing the difficulty to casual even, but it sucks the fun out of it being a NSFW game as well since it feels like you don't have time to look, even on casual.
Kappu was the outlier here, it almost felt like the only reason I beat his stage was due to lucky orb spawn, as I'd often fail on the first level and even had to time my specials right after a refill to quickly try to get a second one.
Oddly enough, the other stage, that doesn't exist, maybe it's due to the addition of an extra sweet that breaks with clears, almost insta cleared itself, was far more manageable. Tried a second time and it seems like the addition of glass orbs just makes it easier?
But I think the main issue I find with the mode takes away from admiring the art during the gameplay, which I found to be neat in past stages giving you time to look at unlocks as you reach them, but time attack is forcing you to play at a fast pace, despite the difficulty modes.
To be fair, not sure how one would go about this. Time attack forces a pace, in a game where you wanna stop and admire each level. Unless I am missing like, something huge and I am just being bad, which could be the case, I have never played these types of games until this one popped up, haha.
What I did find funny is that one of the new stages is Bee, and his dislike is being ignored, and while playing the stage, that's exactly what I had to do to clear it. "Listen Bee! I know you are like, doing the hottest thing right now, but time is running out!!!"
I did find the money cheat, I am now filthy rich since I already had the machine out of stock haha.
Was able to clear all stages, lotsa fun. Would buy again.
