Quote:66 (Pet): Lots of low time limits in this set... and 100 seconds to herd a blob seems quite unforgiving. Now, low time limits are perfectly fine, but this is the first one I think is really pushing it- I played recklessly and had some good luck and had 33 seconds to spare.
Here's a convo I had with Zane about this:
[11/6/2016 1:09:31 PM] Josh: also nice Pet
[11/6/2016 1:09:35 PM] Josh: with 100 seconds
[11/6/2016 1:10:08 PM] Zane: any more than that and the level is too easy
[11/6/2016 1:10:22 PM] Josh: but it's with a blob
[11/6/2016 1:10:40 PM] Zane: you only need 3 blocks but i gave you a cloner
[11/6/2016 1:10:48 PM] Josh: well true
One thing I've noticed with Zane's recent levels, especially in both ZK3s, is that he is a fan of low time limits, which is pretty unique when it comes to his designs! This level in particular, I solved with 35 seconds left and while I personally don't think it's the kind of level to have a time limit of 100 (at least I wouldn't have made it that low myself), it is still manageable. That being said, it should only be changed if Zane himself feels the need to do so. (if you wanna talk about a very strict time limit, play #105, Colors).
Quote:I'm quite tempted to stream/record a playthrough of this set after those are fixed, even if I will probably regret it on the final decade
I second this. I thought about doing it myself but I doubt I will.
