Spinning plates

[Kyzka]

Im finding this puzzle impossible any body know a easy way to spin all the plates. Finding this puzzle to be very trolling.

[Kyzka]

Really starting to think this puzzle is bugged. Plates hardly turn. Does order matter?

[Kyzka]

Definitely bugged. Plates dont spin as much when you change the cursor. Will developer ever respond?

You need (it's not necessarily, but easiest way) to spin plates clockwise or counterclockwise depending on spiral drawing on them.

The video above demonstrates at the 1:11 mark how quickly and easy the plates should be able to rotate. Mine do NOT rotate that easy. I also noticed it was worse if i changed it to just pointer cursor instead of the novel sword cursor. It felt like I was trying to move a tonne of bricks. I don't know what the variable is that causing mine not to rotate but it seriously even hurt my hand trying to do so. The inertia of the plates quickly stop to zero before you can even get one plate moving properly never mind god forbid two plates. I am not making this up. Can you please look into it. Thankyou. Was enjoying the game till I got to this mechanic.

1. Plates do not rotate easy. Even worse with target pointer.
2. Plates will stop rotating withing about two seconds.

Try to start from smaller one and don't forget to spin in proper direction. Also try to spin mouse around the center of the plate, it's easier if cursor is far from center of plates.

I know how to spin a plate. No matter how much I spin the plate if i stand there and spin the bloody thing for ten minutes it will stop within about 2 seconds as soon as I stop spinning it. If i change to a pointer cursor its like the plates are bolted into the flipping table. I have spent hours spinning plates in every flipping direction manageable. There is something wrong with the mechanics can you look into it please...!!!

We definitely could change the mechanics, but as I see through Achievements statistics 30% of players have passed this mini-game:

I personally checked today this mini-game with system and "beautiful" cursor, on Casual and Expert mode - there was no problem at all.

You don't need to spin one plate for a long time - it reach it's maximum speed in a few seconds.
So, let's check sequence ones more:
1. Spin plates from a smaller one to a bigger one
2. Spin in right direction (see the spiral in center of the plate)
3. Release the mouse button once you spin the last one (may be that's the problem?)

P.S. Maybe you have low sensitivity of mouse pointer in System Preferences?
P.P,S If nothing helps, please, write to support[at]sungiftgames.com we'll resolve that problem anyway.

Definitely something is not right with spins. I can't spin more then 5 in same time.

I am HOG/HOPA huge fan, played more than 100 games of that gametype on Steam, that mean more than 1000 puzzles solved, never had any problem, but this is pure crap. This is not even puzzle, this is not causal, this is torture for any played who play this games to relax and enjoy in those. Can't understand how this is not fixed somehow until now...

I'm having trouble with the plate spinning as well. Can't get more than 5 spinning. They are slow to start, and quick to stop spinning.

And the Achievements statistics aren't necessarily reliable. Many people use unlocking software.

At begin I felt completely lost with this, by the time I would start rotating the second one the first had already stopped.

After some try here and there I finally succeeded with it ( I actually needed 15 mins for it so is doable) and since I know how I felt when I couldnt do it, I feel the need to help a bit here.

1) First test each circle, see the ones you can spin easier and get a hand of it with the others a bit. Dont forget to rotate in the right direction, test it.

2) You cant just spin each circle once and succeed with it. You need to costantly tap each circle, so like you did all 8 but 2 stopped. Go fast on those 2 and keep doing this job. Sometime u see some circle close to the end, try to regain speed on that one before try the one that already stopped. (I found it easier to gain speed when the circle was at least moving a bit)

3) When doing the 2 point I found that the best way to gain speed was to click in the middle, start rotating there but then I would spin fast nearly outside the circle. Dont release the click untill u decide the spin is done.

Unfortunately isnt easy to explain with words....

How about a short clip? Just to show us that it is working?

for record, i'm in agreeance with the above posters. This puzzle was not well designed. I've faield so many times because I didn't click at the right time to 'select' the right spinner' so it didn't spin the right one. I get it being about priorty and dexterity but this is very frustating puzzle that is not fun. whats more disappointing is the developer not really appearing to take any of this on board. I will be avoiding this developer from here on to save on further possible trolling heartache. But for record, if you respond to this then i'd reconsider:

1. make it clearer about the rules re: direction of swirl.
2. make animation of spins more reactive to mouse and more sensitive to mouse pull.
3. make selecting of wheels more obvious so you don't accidentally spin the wrong wheel (probably opposite way too).
4. make it skippable without losing a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ achievement or offer alternative way to win.
5. make a 'power meter' for the spins so its easier to tell how the spins are going.
6. don't make trailers that pretend to show actual footage.
7. make your games more conducive to newer OS'. This chugs at very horrid times on Win 10 and i have a high-end gaming rig. (this wouldn't b ea problem if the puzzle wasn't so sensitive).

I just bought this game, since I loved the last game from these developers.

Wanted to play it tonight, but before starting it, I just checked the Achievements, and if all my friends got all the Ach. I was surprised to see that AlienM didn't get them All, as She usual do, so I came here to the discussion to see what was wrong, and now I'm sorry that I bought the game.

I wish I had checked this before buying it, since I wouldn't play a game that have a mini-game that is unsolvable, since it would hurt my scores.

Please Developer, fix this, or You'll loose more customer.

Its actually solvable without issues, just takes a bit of effort...
