Subject: Re: Promised Land effects in We Pretty
" You're supposed to jump down the ledges in
"THENEARLYINGONESERRED" (� la "i wanna see you get down" in willy to the
rescue) "
busted! :)
" , so I don't
consider it a Promised Land as such. "
i suppose it
depends on how you leave 'the bad dream hole' since many
times i have just fallen down the middle.
" I
assume you're having trouble jumping over the white
horizontal guardian. "
damb right i am :)
" I
admit that I should have left it a pixel lower than it
is (I moved it up a pixel as a last-minute change) -
it's too difficult for fun as it stands! :-)
"
to my knowledge, it's impossible! what with the
rampy floor, the static nasties (which are all but
invisible), *and* the high guardian which you must jump over
at least twice :)
" That's the little thing I
wish I'd done differently in We Pretty (the bigger
thing I wish I'd done differently is that We Pretty
should have tended to spread to a greater extent).
"
i think it spreads fine! any more complex, and it
might be too daunting, since the levels are so hard to
negotiate anyway (although it is turning me into a better
jsw player!). maybe if you made the layout more
maze-like, you should decreace the difficulty slightly?
there's only so much a human can take! :)
imho
though, i thought that there was a weeny bit too much
trial and error in we pretty. for example, the innocent
looking 'sticky' conveyor in 'pale parabola of joy' which
(i think) means you need to start the game from
scratch since you can't comit suicide. then there is
falling into the top of 'the mind warp pavillion'. rather
than have the multiple death like this, i would have
put nasties all along the bottom of the screen above
(something about steak and beans or something
:).
don't mind me, i'm in a critical mood these past few
days. now might be a good time to weed off some of the
rooms in wba :)
