Yes this is a rage post.

So I have been having a lot of fun in this game so far, the ideas are really clever, and the solutions are fun as well!

BUT LEVEL 8 IS THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER PLAYED

I would literally rather play dark souls 1 with a bow and arrow rather than do this level again. The way it works is very frustrating, and the angles which you have to follow are not only odd, but if you make a single mistake you have to redo that painstakingly slow cycle of: Move towards folder while looking at duck --> Move away from folder by tapping W while looking at duck. And before you ask yes I tried using a controller, it didn't help. Plus this is more of a personal issue but idk if it's ADHD or whatever but I can't keep a still focus/rhythm long enough. Please just make it instead where only the ducks needs to be on screen instead.

I apologize for my angry rant, I just needed to get it off my chest

Noted 馃榿 I will have a think and make adjustments. Maybe if I just make it a lot easier to complete/shorter gaps I won't have to change the mechanic too much. Appreciate the feedback!

i had this same problem lol, just because of this level i had to redo my speedrun about 7 times.

Wow, I was not expecting people to agree with me here, I guess I wasn't alone. And thanks Bobbo for your patience with what was essentially an old man's angry rant.

agreed Very Much

Had just rage quit because of this level. Other levels were tough. ( like level with a 4th dimensional camera, took me fkn ages) But that duck is beyond what I can handle.

I will replace, thanks for feedback all!

Level 8 has been replaced 

There's new puzzle until I can figure out how to make it fun :D

Came here to complain about this specific level for this specific reason only to find out that it's already been addressed.

I've tried this level 18 times now and can NOT get the rhythm down for this level. So far, I've been able to get close enough to the folder for it to open exactly once, then immediately fell because I was a tiny bit too busy celebrating.

I do think that the OP's solution is perhaps the best one: Make it to where you only need to keep the duck onscreen, thereby allowing players to take whatever path they want to. This is actually what I originally thought the solution was after reading the code, which reads "When PLAYER is looking at the duck". I am the player. The grey dude is the character. Admittedly this will make the bug trivial to obtain, but perhaps you can implement a render distance and put the bug out near the edge, requiring timing

Just downloded the game today, and it's been great so far. Although. Level 8. The one that had been replaced? I can't figure out how to get to the folder. I go to the checkpoint, but that knocks the blue platform off. And on top of that, pressing the spacebar does nothing. If someone could help me on the new level 8 that would be amazing.


EDIT: Nevermind, I finally got it lol

Developer

I didn't actually realise the spacebar text was still there :'D

Congrats on getting it!
