New Camping Game

[STOMPT]

Great idea, hate the execution. I have no idea if there's a definitive "end" to it or not, but I wish it would come sooner than it does. I don't know if I'm just inept at math or something, but when it gets to the double-digit problems, I start panicking and get it wrong almost every time. Wish there was either more time to think or fewer double-digit problems.
But I really really like the idea. I say keep the mini game in, but it needs a little tweaking.

I've beaten the new minigame 2 times and it was far from flawless. the extra campfire wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that multiplication gets thrown in as well towards the very end, always tripping me up because although I can solve it, I struggle to keep track of 4 different equations at once with 3 different signs while making sure everything lines up under a time limit because my brain doesn't go that fast ;u;

Yep yep. The minigame would've been real good if it actually gave you time to process what's happening and had simpler math questions.

It feels even more unfair and longer then the old minigame, which is like the exact oopsite of what he wanted to do with it.

Thanks for the feedback! The current difficulty is actually easier than what I initially had it at, and I toned it down after receiving some feedback from testers. It lasted nearly two minutes before and even had problems going up to the hundreds! I'll definitely continue to balance it. I do want to make sure it's decently challenging though and not just a free way to get three top tier items.

Have you played it during a game of Hide and Seek? If you play it through the field trips menu, it's an endless variant with a different difficulty curve. If you play it in-game it's a bit easier and only lasts about a minute (Which is significantly shorter than the old minigame's three minute length!).

I did, but it was still REALLY hard to try and keep up with the math, espcally for someone like me who struggles a bit. At the very least, you should get more time to react to the problems, or make them simpiler. I tried both and your right it is defently shorter in the hide and seek mode.

Ill have to try it a bit more and see however, it could be becauase i just need pratice with it.

Well Micah the main problem with it is that you have no time to process ANYTHING it throws at you! By the time you read the numbers on the campfires and solve the questions it's too late. I suggest having like a short timer(like 10 seconds) THEN the sticks go down into the fires instead of the sticks going down as they do.

I still want the old types of field trips back, maybe it could randomly switch between the two, and if people thought that the old field trip was missing something, then it just needs some extra content and mechanics to make it more fun.

The old one had more substance to it yea but it was also SOOO BORING and that was the main reason for the rework. Not that the rework is any better

I feel like the old field trips just need reworked, not completely scrapped for a 2d mini-game.

you know, I like this new version, because I find it funny!
