Level 60 Hard Mode - Seemingly Impossible?
Has anyone managed to solve this? I'm not sure it's possible. Just by filling in the "Orange" cell, which is either 1, 2 or 3 - Each number creates an impossible scenario.

Certainly not impossible. A winnable scenario is found e.g. when Orange is 2.

Might as well post the solution though:

Thanks for that, I had an extremely dumb moment and was counting the separated 2 all the way on the left as part of the 15, which is why I couldn't complete it. Thanks for posting the solution!

Okay, having another issue now - Even inputting that solution, the level doesn't "complete". Double and triple checked to make sure it's the correct solution, but it just won't complete, which is...confusing.

Hi Deiru, we are looking into it right now, will let you know here once it's solved. Thank you for the feedback.

In the meanwhile, you could try the work-around that I posted in the other thread:

Try to play through level 59 normally and let it proceed to level 60, then try completing level 60. For some reason this worked for me in level 90 (which I couldn't complete but could after letting it proceed from lvl 89 instead).

Well if that is a dumb moment rather than confusing level design, I had that same moment >:-[

I've hit this issue as well, but given it's been 2 years I'm not hopeful that you guys managed to find the bug :(

Confirmed that my solution matches the one you posted, and the math all checks out

EDIT: restarted the game, and it shows that I have the achievement for all hard levels but visually it's still green. Seems like a pure UI bug!

I had the same thing happen, level 60.

I have commented on the screenshot pointing out the failure of the stage. Please confirm/show me that I am wrong. I am playing this with Nintendo Switch btw.

Hi guys!

Thank you for pointing out the issue about Level 60 in the Hard Mode. We pinned the solution above, however see that some of you still experience the issue, which is also from our understanding, solely related to the UI/ game restart. We will do our best to still fix it but since we are all hands on deck with Harmony's Odyssey development, it might take some time. We will surely inform our community about it with the announcement.

Kindest regards,
MythicOwl Team

In case it helps anyone, I had this issue with the Linux version of the game. Persisted after several restarts. Reinstalled the game with Proton/Wine instead (you can force it in game properties) and it worked as expected.

I spent longer than I'd like to admit trying to figure out what I did wrong in the puzzle, lol

Thanks for posting this solution, we are planning to address this issue among others in the upcoming game update. :steamthumbsup:

I had the exact same problem. Thank goodness for this discussion!

And here as well LOL.

I think in one of the earlier levels where the comparison symbols are introduced, there should be something to make it obvious that you don't count past a blank space. Like <oooo><blank>< >< >=<ooo>. The player has to enter 2+1 and should see that the 4 didn't/can't count.

If something similar is already there, then I guess I missed it on the way up the levels :)

Really enjoyed the game btw!
