Match Three Speed Round

[Makki]

What's the deal with this? I need to solve 20 puzzles in 60 seconds to complete it? Game is excellent so far, but this is going too far...

[GoldenOuroboros]

I thought it was just a personal best thing?

[Makki]

No, you need to solve 20 in order to obtain Mirabilis. You can see in on the map that challenge isn't done (progress 0%).

That challenge felt the hardest to me in all of the playtest. I needed 15+ tries to beat it, after memorizing the starting moves for several puzzles. It also felt a bit weird how much time you get for finishing a puzzle. The first few puzzles you get like 2 seconds back and the later ones barely half a second.

The variable time bonus makes it eaiser to complete more of the puzzles without changing the difficulty of finishing all of them.

Doesn't really help when completing it but it means you'll see, and learn, more puzzles on a failed attempt than you otherwise would.

I didn't have motivation to clear it really, not a fan of timed puzzles in a games like this. Didn't like that famous one in The Witness either, but at least it was much more interesting.
Game has potential, hell I have played it for 14 hours first day. But it became a chore to play, don't like multiplayer stuff and constantly rehashing puzzles. I don't want for this to become like a live service game. Since there is only one are available in the test I'm pretty much done with it.

It is doable. You kinda just fail it enough times that you memorize the solutions to the puzzles and can get them done quickly. I had about 3 seconds to spare when I finished it. Very tight but doable. The only thing I do not like about this challenge is that it really comes down to your own memorization rather than solving the puzzles.

i also felt stuck on this one, up until this puzzle i had quite a bit of fun with every puzzle i found, i might feel better if it was more time but it feels like you cant progress unless you fail enough to see and memorize all the solutions, when it comes to games i love puzzles, i HATE time trials

[Roan]

It is definitely doable - just wish it was clearer that your goal is solving 20 puzzles to get the Mirabilis.

I think there needs to be challenges in the game like this. I don't want to solve everything on my first try. Eventually you memorize the puzzles and get faster and faster though.

I made several mistakes and still managed to do 20 with a few seconds remaining. Think it was on attempt 5 or 6.
