That Darn Marble Puzzle

[CindyK_JA]

I have played and thoroughly enjoyed all of your games. A bit of feedback ... the 6-marble puzzle is the most painful I have seen in a Forgotten Hill adventure. It is unforgiving and having to restart from the beginning each time you miss the timing on one click is really frustrating. Since it is a sequence of 6 precise sets of moves, it is easy to have a misstep and BAM!!! Back to square one (over and over).

As a rule, I don't skip puzzles so I will soldier on. Currently, I have spent more time fighting this puzzle than I have spent playing the game up to this point. Sigh...

Not exactly 6 precise sets of move : For certain marbles it is more efficient to click quickly on the arrow. The marble will take the direction you want

I beta tested this game and I had to skip that puzzle. It's honestly the most difficult in all of the games in my opinion. If you ever want the developer's solution, they have a tutorial for it on their YouTube channel. That said, after I watched it, I played through the full game a couple more times and on my final run-through I solved it in a similar yet still different way.

Thanks for validating that it is not just me being a wuss! I did finally go out to the developer's web site where I watched their solution and learned about 'quick clicking' to rotate past unwanted paths. I am determined to get through this one, as I've had up to 5 balls placed and then failed on the 6th. Update... after 'countless vain attempts,' I got the 6th ball to drop and am on my way. Woohoo...

funny but i found no marble game once I gave him the last marble he disappeared and i opened the door with the keypad code

The 'marble' puzzle I was referencing was in the transition between Puppeteer and Surgery... it's with 6 colored balls that have to be rolled into the correct slots. For me, it was a tough mechanical puzzle.

Not all puzzles are going to be easy and its good to write things down. Taking breaks is a good thing.

Edit. Ugh, never mind. Took me half an hour trying to replicate the exact same clicks as shown on the youtube vid, but finally got it. It's clumsy though.

I tend to click either too fast or too slow. Click too fast and the game doesn't seem to register all of them. Click too slow and the ball goes where it shouldn't. This one was really annoying.

Lmao im going thru this misery now. Even watching the walkthru video at .25x speed and following click by click I still manage to screw it up.

I am the complete opposite. If I see the solution to a puzzle and it is annoying/has a lot of steps I skip it. Don't worry, you won't become like me. It is a great time saver. There are so many games and so little time.
