Playful Achievement

Overall, the game is great, but this achievement doesn't suit the game's public. This is a puzzle game, so the public is people who like being intellectually challenged. There is no reflex-based mechanic, and the only reflex-based requirement in this game revolve the achievements "Impatient", "Cooperative" and "Playful".

While the former 2 are reasonable - there is a walk-block animation, so "Impatient" is a way to give it some value, and "Cooperative" may even accidentally happen during regular gameplay -,"playful" requires precision on mouse position and timing. Its gap in difficulty and unsuitability can be measured by the difference in percentage of players who have obtained this and the other achievements.

I would suggest either reducing the number of clicks (2 changes of directions is more than enough, yet IMHO it would still be unsuitable for the game style), or simply removing the achievement altogether.

I got the achievement as intended, but I honestly considered learning the Windows API to write a script to do it for me. If I wanted to test my reflexes I would go back to my FPS games.

Agreed completely. This is a ridiculously out-of-place achievement.

I'd also add that for anybody going for this: I found it easier to rapidly click the ground a bit past the bridge on each side rather than the immediate squares touching the bridge. You also have to get a rhythm where the character is jumping left and right on the two segments of the bridge, changing direction *right as the feet hit the ground of each bridge segment*. In other words, it's pure jumping left and jumping right, if you see a lot of walking then you don't have the right rhythm. And it's very strict about being completely on the bridge (can't even let a foot touch the ground off the bridge from what I saw).

The achievement is really terrible. But there was a guide on how to simplify your task, and with the help of game mechanics. I received it a year and a half after the others.
