Problems with the two baked-in tutorials

Neither of the two tutorials works perfectly as a tutorial. I think a tutorial needs to concentrate on the basics, which takes discipline from the designer. Otherwise you're left thinking you just didn't understand the rules it was supposed to teach you. If you bail out of any level, you may miss tu...

Re: Various Tidbits

Gems counter: I see. I think there's a large number of levels where "what you see is what you get" in the ones I played though and I'd like to think gems as decorative items (in levels that require you to collect gems especially) are probably not the most common? E.g. I think all the Bould...

Multiplayer types

I'm trying to figure out which of these types of multiplayer the game has. Can someone confirm I have this right? yes SHS (Simultaneous hotseat): 2 or more players play simultaneously on the same computer no? TBHS (Turn-based hotseat): 2 or more players take turns to play on the same computer yes Se...

Re: Various Tidbits

How to show the time: Most of the time you don't see frame counts but maybe this game is "nerdy" enough to warrant that? It does have the benefit of making it very clear whether you're looking at a one-frame difference or two-frame or more in case you forget what the framerate is. But yeah...

Re: Various Tidbits

The new high score detailed screen is nice but doesn't show the exact time you took to finish. I'm saying this again because it doesn't seem like something you couldn't implement, in case you just forgot to? Or is there some reason you don't want to give the frame-precise times?

Re: Various Tidbits

1) Ah, so you're "handicapped" in the sense that you can't freely move from level to level. I see. I appreciate that as a concept but in practice, I find too often particular levels to be too annoying or just not the kind of challenge I'm looking for to have the patience/interest to finish...

Various Tidbits

Sorry this is going to be a mess. I won't ever have the time to go through the known bugs and already listed IFIs though so better this than nothing methinks... Feel free to ignore all stuff that's been talked about endlessly already. I'm a totally new player and the build I played was 4.3.0.1 in Wi...
