How make my char run faster to build up more speed for a jump?

[sylviakotulla]

I have a problem with a jump in chapter 2: I can play a trick on the boar and when he is under the one rock for a very short while, will run and jump over the abyss on the next rock. But I seem too slow to make the jump and fail it. I play with controller and all jumps so far were ok, yet, I had enough speed then.

There is no "Sprint" if that's what you're asking about. I checked the Puzzle Tutorial videos I've made and can't find one based off your description so I may not have made one for it.

Is this the one where you hang off the ledge at the beginning of the scene and the 1-eyed Pig monster comes running at you then bonks his head and is stunned for a moment? If so, you just have to time it correctly, and the timing is acute. There really isn't any other way for me to describe it and unfortunately I've run into a save issue so can't go back in to make a video to show you. Wish I could be of more help.

Same problem in the same situation: the jump is always too short, I try this many and times but it's impossible!

Must be a bug ? The Pig isn't stuck long enough, or are we generally to slow? The gap is not wider than some before .. so why too short? As the discussions show, there are more bugs later in only this chapter. And always this the EA game and the purchased game? I refunded and will perhaps hava a look again much later, when there is more support and the bugs gone

I finally succeeded this way: when the pig moves to the right I press the S key and instead of going down I hang on the rock. When the pig turns around and sees me he runs towards me and I climb up more or less when he gets to the grass (if I climb up too soon he doesn't get hit on the head and doesn't pass out and comes right back); so I jump right, run to the rock and jump again. So I succeeded.

[sylviakotulla]

Yes, that may work. Good, you made it!

Yes, you have to hang off the ledge, otherwise the timing won't work and he'll catch you.

Planet of Lana isn't in Early Access, it's fully released. The Puzzles often require absolutely acute timing as in you can't be off by more than 0.5-1 second.

Such a limited time I would define as 'frustration' rather than a videogame but I understand that everyone has their own opinions...

I never said I loved how acute the timing is, just that's the way the game is designed.

Indeed it was not a criticism addressed to you, but a consideration on the game (probably my bad English misrepresented the message)
