Checkers

[Bee]

I am apparently way too dumb for the checkers puzzle. I loved the rest of the game and never had any other issues, but the checkers puzzle was... Way beyond me. I don't mind admitting it.

Can the checkers puzzle get a better hint to strategy? Can it give pity on the player and let us skip it if we've failed it five times in a row? For me, it was easily the biggest downside of an otherwise adorable and creative and fun demo!

[carusis]

agreed, it should be skippable, it's really irritating because it's a totally boring bottleneck

[carusis]

the checkers game was really effing annoying because sometimes a starting move would push black back a space and other times the same move wouldn't make black go back a space, i.e. it's too stochastic to be straightforward to solve and then the music just gets effing irritating while you're trying to solve it. I'm about to quit the entire demo because the checkers game is tedious rather than fun

[carusis]

and now I've discovered that if I go out I have to start that entire chapter again, let alone the checkers bit. I give up. accessing the rest of the game isn't worth the tedium of getting through the checkers game

[Ehwas]

Omg same. Also i think there is a bug, when black one just froze and i couldn't move my checkers at all... but i want to say that i LOVED the demo, it's just adorable and i can't wait to play full game (and skip checkers.....)

same here, I can't win that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ checkers game! I wont buy the game until this can be redone (reduced the board area), removed (preferably) or skepable!

I found a video BUT the RNG doesn't help at all.

Was it that much of a coincidence, that after the second or third time, I noticed you simply had to prevent the piece from reaching the end and encircle it?

That is what I remember.

I also found this puzzle weirdly hard, but the solution was actually really simple once it clicked. I think it's hard because the puzzle is not checkers, but it acts like it, so my brain was not in the right space for it.

Pieces cannot be jumped like in checkers, so all you have to do is move all 4 pieces in turn so that there is never a path to the left side and then repeat until you catch the black piece on the right side. Make sure you never advance a piece two columns ahead of any other.

Exactly. I think redesigning the buttons/figures (or whatever they're called) into something else might help.

5 min and four trys, really is to hard guys?

Took me a few tries but it wasn't that complicated, you just need to think how to block the black one so he won't be able to move by moving the white ones correctly, it also shows it in the image when you click on the light bulb.

2 try for me, stop complaining, think a little, it's not hard.

what time will the game be released?

That's weird, the checkers puzzle is actually pretty easy to solve though. It literally took me only 2 tries.

Perhaps they made it easier on the final version of the game? I'm not sure since I stopped playing right after the bear chase in the demo.

surprisingly I had no problems it took me 5 goes to beat the checkers game usually I have trouble with it phew!!!! lol
