Boulder Dash level?

Boulder dash level
Can not run fast enough. I make it pass the 1st water area.
Thank you

this might not be helpful, but that level reminds me of crash bandicoot because of the name.

Are you doing it with a keyboard?

Controller.

It can be be done it just takes a lot of retrys and practice

Funny thing, I have a controller, and on the very first try I made it to the finish. It might have been due to me having two of the assists on, but I kinda doubt those things affect boxes.

I would recommend jumping a lot more than you think you should and just doing it a bunch of times. I haven't beat it with my co-op partner yet cause one of us usually dies mid-way, but I have managed to reach the end. Also like someone else said use a controller.

Also does anyone else think the level should have a faster replay system? like if your partner died you should immediately go back to the start instead of the truck moving scene thing.

there was assists?

Oh, and try your best to stay out of the little pond/puddle/lake/whatever/etc. that appears around the beginning of the level. It can slow you down quite a bit.

I think it's bad level design and this level cannot be completed. The boulder moves far faster than the characters. Even with no box in and and without any obstacle, it would still be impossible to reach even halfway through the level. Just by the time we reach the pound, the characters are out of the screen and assumed got crushed by the boulder.

I had this problem. I noticed because my partner was easily running fast enough but I simply could not. I think it was something weird about the controller not being able to reach full speed as if it wasn't being pushed far enough, even though the joystick was all the way to the edge. The game has analog movement speed and it wasn't reaching full gas.

I just had the partner go through it alone with their controller. Seems like some weird programming related to controls and certain controllers, not sure. It was absolutely impossible to run fast enough, it's not like it's a complicated hard mission. My partner is not some pro gamer. They're basically average, while I've been playing all kinds of videogames my entire life endlessly. I even did it with their controller and then it was easy. There is obviously an issue, even if not with this mission specifically, but just very apparent in its context.

If this applies to every level, and you aren't running at max speed in those either, it obviously affects your success. I have doubt it's specifically a controller defect and more of something about how movement was programmed, causing it to only work right on certain ones. If I remember right it's a ps4 controller that was having problems.
