One more game ruined by minigames

[Path0logic]

Yet another quest that can be great if someone wouldn't think that action minigames will make it better. But here even ping-pong is harder than all dark souls game I played. It's impossible, this is something that no one wants to see in puzzle-adventure game, especially if you don't have skills to make simplest action minigame.

Hi there, I apologize if you didn't enjoy the pong game. It's the only arcade-style minigame we have in 'Life of Delta'. It's a tribute to classic computer games and a bit of a mix-up in our minigames roster. ... We coded it in a way that even the AI makes an error from time to time. I hope this issue didn't ruin your overall walkthrough experience.

It's impossible to win with gamepad in this game) I think that if you add some action elements to quest/puzzle game, you should at least add a "skip" option) Sorry for my rough feedback, but it was really annoying experience... When you go through game and it's all ok, and then you stuck for half of hour because of stupid ping-pong game)

Hi, no need to apologize, I know it 'sucks' when you go through a game and get stuck. We'll go over this issue and test it on the gamepad again, to see how it feels and what we could do to improve it. I'll get back to this thread soon.

Hi there, I just wanted to give you an update. We have tested the PONG mini-game on a couple of gamepads just to make sure it's not too slow/hard to control. Because we don't want to make it too easy for all the other players, we'll be adding a SKIP button that appears after 3 mins of opened mini-game. As requested, this is for players that aren't huge fans of arcade-style games. Hopefully this will help you to finish the rest of the game without any problems. I'll let you know once the patch is out. For any other feedback feel free to message us anytime. :)

I don´t even get the first minigame. And I looked in a video and it doesn´t work for me. But it looks the same so it isn´t random number generator it seems.

Hi Sven, I wonder if there is a way for you to record a gameplay video, so we can check what the issue is? Is this the charging mini-game at the beginning of LVL-1? Thanks very much.

[Sven_Q45]

Yes the one with the triangles. In the video he clicks on the second from above in the middle row. But when I do it it doesn´t work.

Hi, thank you for getting back to me. We honestly want everyone to enjoy our game. I wonder if there is any way ( even with a phone ) to record a short clip, so we can somehow figure out why this is happening. This is the very first time someone has reported this issue, so we're super curious. If you think this could be possible somehow, you could join our Discord and send the video clip there, OR it could be done via a YouTube upload. Whatever works best for you.

[Sven_Q45]

I will try to record it in the next few days.

Cool, thanks Sven. We'll do our best to help you out with it.

So I made a video. It doesn´t work for me. But one time I hovered over some of the triangles and then it worked but normally not. But hovering over them doesn´t change anything so it should be fine? But if so it would be a strange mechanism:

Hi Sven, thanks for sending this over : ) ... I am glad to say that it isn't a bug, but actually a part of the puzzle. This puzzle isn't the easiest one to crack, BUT don't worry, I'll guide you through it.

Have a look at this screenshot with a tutorial:

You need to find the correct symbol combination and the darker highlighted triangles will show you which combination you are currently pressing.

Hopefully this helps, let me know if all goes well. : )

Thanks but I can´t see the guide. According to G-Drive it´s in the trash.

Which discord channel would that be? Daedalic or do you have another one ? I own the game as well
