Maddie's little game
I am currently filled with murderous rage for whoever designed a challenge section with like five easily-doable-if-you're-paying-attention jumps, and then put like three ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ jumps that you have to do all the other jumps to even attempt, and you can't even save yourself if you fall because that annoying kid pipes up all ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ smug and you fail the challenge. She deserves every single bottomless pit she's fallen into because of her stupid challenge.

Anyway how the hell are you supposed to get anywhere once you get onto the rock above the second straightaway? I can SOMETIMES land on the very edge of the rocky part of the rock in front of that one, but only if I jump off the slightly higher cliff thing, and it's a sloped part that doesn't even look like it's supposed to be landed on. I can't reach anywhere else through high-jumping, and since long-jump locks in your tragectory I have to remember where I jumped from, watch myself fall flailing into the abyss, respawn all the way back at the start, do the whole ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sequence of jumps again, and repeat to get a little closer to landing on the next rock. Once I get there, I'll get to die repeatedly trying to get to the rock pillar!

Please put a midway checkpoint somewhere near the rock above the second straight rock. I don't care if you make it so it only appears if you haven't used the grapple yet to make it work better with the challenge, requiring me to redo the whole thing because of a few impossible jumps at the end is ridiculous.

Hello. =)

One thing that might make it easier that people often forget this far into the game is to use the normal spacebar jump. You can get quite far with that one as well.

Thank you for your suggestion! I did indeed not try the regular jump, and since the problem with the high jump was a matter of horizontal rather than vertical motion, it seems like it should work!

Just completed it.

Though it took me easily 30+ tries and got frustrating, putting a mid-way checkpoint kind of ruins the point IMO. It's an achievement for a reason. :P

Good luck!

Thanks for the video.

I spent a good half an hour here.

It was a god preparation for later segments as you can really learn to judge different jump strengths.

i gave up on this one as i wasn't sure where the ending was , i thought i got through it but obviously didn't . I made it right across without grapple but i didn't get any achievement or anything and eventually died and had to start again.
Is it easier with keyboard or controller? I am finding the controller very inaccurate for this game.
It's called an achievement for a reason for a change , well done to those that made it. I just need to work out if i have enough patiece lol. There are far worse parts in the game for testing patience though. Corridor is one lol

Mouse and keyboard is definitely easier for me personally.

It took me a lot of tries, but you can do it. Good luck. :)

Thanks just not sure i have it in me and what's worse from what i can tell. I am only about 10 mins from finishing the game. So frustrating to be stuck now.

This took me hours to get, but rewarding in the end I would say. :steamhappy:

I did it first time. Didn't realize it was meant to be hard.
