Fly Guy, any advice appreciated!

[yourjaguarlover]

I must be doing something wrong? I just cant get anywhere with Flyguy, one of the arcade machines within the Knuckles and Knees game, needed for one of the achievements.

I cant even get past the first pipe, which is probably all i need to do. As far as I can tell only the space button is used but i either jump too high or crash down, I can't keep level enough to pass the pipe.

It must be a technique thing as the other mini games aren't so hard. Please, can anyone advise? I'm using KB/M but also tried with gamepad, no luck

TIA

I myself was awful at Fly Guy and I could not do it myself, I know it isn't bugged though and I'm sure hopefully a professional Fly Guy player will come on by and share some wisdom with us.

:) thanks Jake, yeah its not a bug just so fiddly i think! Please guys, anyone tip me on this one?

Well, i did it! My mini-guide is... it's bloody obtuse and requires luck or patience. Basically, Flappy-Bird with little or no button sensitivity. Just press the same button you start the game with immediately and quickly then just try to time your next two taps well. You only need to get through one pipe, gl all!

Only one cheevo left, i need to get that damn mini gun in Zonbat 2 before pulling my hair out :)

Glad you managed to pull it off!

I find it a bit funny how this guy says it's not bugged, coming from a moderator no less. I know for a fact it is bugged. Playing on keyboard, the sensitivity is too high. How you have too high of a sensitivity for a key press is beyond me but no matter if you tap or press and hold, the jump is the same distance, which is more than half of the screen. It's impossible to jump through the first pipe. I know how to play flappy birds.

Maybe on controller it's fine, but I don't have a controller on hand, so I guess I just can't play a few of the games. Really weird how they make a game on PC and ask you to use a controller. If you want players to use controllers exclusively, maybe you should've released the game on console.

edit: For me, the problem seems to have been not having vsync on. It turns your half screen jumps to little tiny jumps. Goes from literally impossible to being the easiest game in the world. This is called a bug.
