All Zoombinis, difficulty?

[Top Pomeranian]

I bought this after refunding mobile version for same problem. How to unlock more difficulty? I have finished each leg with all zoombinis saved, but I still only have (not so)easy on journey.

There are 4 difficulty level;

- Not So Easy
- Oh So Hard
- Very Hard
- Very Very Hard

You have to rescue certain amount of Zoombinis to the Zoombiniville (at the end of the castle) about 2-3 times before you get onto the next difficulty which would be "Oh So Hard", then do the same task like 4-5 times to the Zoombiniville then you will automatically be on the next "Very Hard" difficulty level.

Difficulty level are all automate when it met for certain amount of Zoombinis.

Have a look at my difficult, here is the screenshot http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=543856846
From the start to the camp site the line are red so that line is on "Very Very Hard" difficult, the rest of it is in purple so that's "Oh So Hard" difficult.

I hope this clears it up?

So it works different then original game? That is disappointing.

2-3 times through per difficulty? I will become sick of the game before it becomes challenging!

Not 2-3 times each difficulty, it depends. I lost count but that was my estimate. Maybe someone else who have counted will put it here :-) but yes every time you rescue Zoombinis to the Zoombiniville then you will get on the next difficulty only via "Journey", not the "practice" mode.

Each time you do all over again with the puzzle, it doesn't alway use the same rules (eg, nose, or head or feet etc) all are scrambled though.

You say "different than original", but that is EXACTLY how I remember it being when I used to play, year and years ago. Maybe I'm forgetting.

@Driahva You are correct it's alays been that you would send multiple groups through only to get harder as you went along

Maybe I remember wrong. It was almost 20 years ago.

I remember that you get full group of zoombinis through a part (big bad hungry, who's bayou...) 3 times then it becomes next difficulty.

But I have completed big bad and hungry 4 times with full zoombini, and still only not so easy is there.

I want to play game harder for journey. But right now is boring

Keep rescuing the Zoombinis to the Zoombiniville then you will eventually get on Very Very Hard difficulty (I'm up to that and it approx around 80-100 Zoombinis rescued)

It should be 3 runs without losing any zoombinis per section gets you up one difficulty.
I know this is true because I grinded my difficulty levels up last night and this seemed to always work.

If it's not the only thing I can suggest is make sure you aren't actually messing up without realising it.
