that sounds impossible. might make a landing on the boulder at best?

feel there would be too much airtime even if you did make it.

how are we doing this level then
I've been doing two small hops, delayed jump off the first spring, miss the second short and then jump over it, jump off the crest of the downhill, run and jump miss the twig and land on the plateau just before the mound of rocks... don't have a line from there
should I be trying to hit that second spring?
― F U (cozen), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 13:22 (twelve years ago) link
game really needs ~replays~
that's my basic strategy. then run over mound, jump onto and off of boulder, then just run.
what do i know though, i'm fifth (or worse)
― i love the smell of facepalm in the morning (ledge), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 13:24 (twelve years ago) link
i've had hundreds of horrible runs, and one miracle accident run that got me to 18.04. i have no idea how it happened, but i managed to hit the sweet spot on just about every spring (including the second one)

I don't like what this game is doing to us all.

I feel...so...cold

damming I know sond's time is beatable. gotma really slow first section on my ghost
― F U (cozen), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:11 (twelve years ago) link
they should release trials ON IPAD
― F U (cozen), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:15 (twelve years ago) link
that would destroy my life (if i bought an ipad)
local maxima are a big problem in this game.

I feel like I should be more into this game than I am, but once I have what I consider a respectable score I stop playing. I think the fact that you only have one day to get your score actually prevents me from obsessing too much over it.
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 16:55 (twelve years ago) link
Kind of feel like that, except "what I consider a respectable score" is starting to mean "as long as I'm inside the ilx top ten". Really am getting almost zero enjoyment from it though. When I finally manage a half decent run I never think "woah, nailed it", it's always just "well that was a slippery lucky mess".
― JimD, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
:) close one!
cozen, were you hitting that second spring? because that sounds like madness to me
― sonderangerbot, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 20:29 (twelve years ago) link
another downside is if you get busy, you miss out on all the runs and there's no way to get back in the leaderboards!Always tomorrow though...

Wow, thirteen person league, huh?
― weird bibby fetish (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 21:35 (twelve years ago) link
I'm in the global top 20! Appreciate it's mainly down to it being less than 4 hours in, but this is still easily my best level yet.
― if, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 21:39 (twelve years ago) link
I can't touch the #1 so I am proud to hold #2 for the next few minutes anyway
― Alderaan Duran (Will M.), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
Also I can't imagine Trials begin good on the ipad, I need my analog stick for that!

so has anyone figured out how to jump up and over that v first pillar, instead of dropping down by all the stupid branches
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Thursday, 16 June 2011 03:36 (twelve years ago) link
nope, i was wondering if it was possible. whoever has 16 seconds on this thing is obviously thinking outside of the box
― Z S, Thursday, 16 June 2011 03:41 (twelve years ago) link
it's gotta be possible!
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Thursday, 16 June 2011 03:41 (twelve years ago) link
It is possible. But the problem is that I haven't even matched my high score with the up and over strategy.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 16 June 2011 05:04 (twelve years ago) link
Oh wait maybe it helps a bit.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 16 June 2011 05:52 (twelve years ago) link
I've not bothered with trying for that up and over more than a couple of times. Beginning to wonder if it's possible to skip the swing ledge bit entirely though.
― if, Thursday, 16 June 2011 06:17 (twelve years ago) link
i've been up there too but i can't see how it helps
― sonderangerbot, Thursday, 16 June 2011 16:49 (twelve years ago) link
maybe if you just hit every blob and bounce your way through it
― sonderangerbot, Thursday, 16 June 2011 16:53 (twelve years ago) link
I cut about a second off my time going over, but I think part of it was that I nailed the second half for once. I don't think you need it.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 16 June 2011 16:53 (twelve years ago) link
actually hate this level, too much pfaff not enough flow
roll on next level
― F U (cozen), Thursday, 16 June 2011 16:58 (twelve years ago) link
yeah by far the worst so far
― sonderangerbot, Thursday, 16 June 2011 17:12 (twelve years ago) link
I will disagree because it's the first level I got a good score on. Haha

Wait, I can't read times apparently. Still, didn't think that was going to last.
It's quite close now between the clear leading group of Sndrngrbot, Jospehcotten and ZS25 in the cumulative rankings.
― if, Friday, 24 June 2011 20:04 (twelve years ago) link
I don't think the other two have played today so it won't be that close by tomorrow.
Unless they forget. :X
― polyphonic, Friday, 24 June 2011 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
i've been too busy to play the last few days. I only got 3-4 runthroughs today before i had to put it down. however, on day 993, when i'm the only person in the entire world who is still playing, i will be laughing maniacally at the top of the rankings
