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.

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.
