they should release trials ON IPAD

that would destroy my life (if i bought an ipad)
local maxima are a big problem in this game.

I feel like I should be more into this game than I am, but once I have what I consider a respectable score I stop playing. I think the fact that you only have one day to get your score actually prevents me from obsessing too much over it.

Kind of feel like that, except "what I consider a respectable score" is starting to mean "as long as I'm inside the ilx top ten". Really am getting almost zero enjoyment from it though. When I finally manage a half decent run I never think "woah, nailed it", it's always just "well that was a slippery lucky mess".

:) close one!
cozen, were you hitting that second spring? because that sounds like madness to me
― sonderangerbot, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 20:29 (thirteen years ago) link
another downside is if you get busy, you miss out on all the runs and there's no way to get back in the leaderboards!Always tomorrow though...

Wow, thirteen person league, huh?
― weird bibby fetish (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 21:35 (thirteen years ago) link
I'm in the global top 20! Appreciate it's mainly down to it being less than 4 hours in, but this is still easily my best level yet.
― if, Wednesday, 15 June 2011 21:39 (thirteen years ago) link
I can't touch the #1 so I am proud to hold #2 for the next few minutes anyway
― Alderaan Duran (Will M.), Wednesday, 15 June 2011 21:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Also I can't imagine Trials begin good on the ipad, I need my analog stick for that!
Deleted this today. Sorry!

Apology accepted

Dang this is one tough gold.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 16 June 2011 02:06 (thirteen years ago) link
so has anyone figured out how to jump up and over that v first pillar, instead of dropping down by all the stupid branches
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Thursday, 16 June 2011 03:36 (thirteen years ago) link
nope, i was wondering if it was possible. whoever has 16 seconds on this thing is obviously thinking outside of the box
― Z S, Thursday, 16 June 2011 03:41 (thirteen years ago) link
it's gotta be possible!
― all the pretty HOOSes (gbx), Thursday, 16 June 2011 03:41 (thirteen years ago) link
It is possible. But the problem is that I haven't even matched my high score with the up and over strategy.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 16 June 2011 05:04 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh wait maybe it helps a bit.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 16 June 2011 05:52 (thirteen years ago) link
I've not bothered with trying for that up and over more than a couple of times. Beginning to wonder if it's possible to skip the swing ledge bit entirely though.
― if, Thursday, 16 June 2011 06:17 (thirteen years ago) link
i've been up there too but i can't see how it helps
― sonderangerbot, Thursday, 16 June 2011 16:49 (thirteen years ago) link
maybe if you just hit every blob and bounce your way through it
― sonderangerbot, Thursday, 16 June 2011 16:53 (thirteen years ago) link
I cut about a second off my time going over, but I think part of it was that I nailed the second half for once. I don't think you need it.
― polyphonic, Thursday, 16 June 2011 16:53 (thirteen years ago) link
actually hate this level, too much pfaff not enough flow
roll on next level
― F U (cozen), Thursday, 16 June 2011 16:58 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah by far the worst so far
― sonderangerbot, Thursday, 16 June 2011 17:12 (thirteen years ago) link
I will disagree because it's the first level I got a good score on. Haha
― polyphonic, Thursday, 16 June 2011 17:19 (thirteen years ago) link
Stop moving your big fucking head

holy crap @ mordy's gold
― i love the smell of facepalm in the morning (ledge), Friday, 17 June 2011 08:30 (thirteen years ago) link
I plan to buy a villa w/ it and retire from this game.
― Mordy, Friday, 17 June 2011 14:52 (thirteen years ago) link
you've got 990 dayz to go. then you can retire as a true heroz

"have you forgotten?"
― Z S, Monday, 20 June 2011 01:34 (thirteen years ago) link
Currently leading by a massive 0.001 seconds. Wow.
― if, Friday, 24 June 2011 17:08 (thirteen years ago) link
Wait, I can't read times apparently. Still, didn't think that was going to last.
It's quite close now between the clear leading group of Sndrngrbot, Jospehcotten and ZS25 in the cumulative rankings.
― if, Friday, 24 June 2011 20:04 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't think the other two have played today so it won't be that close by tomorrow.
Unless they forget. :X
― polyphonic, Friday, 24 June 2011 20:21 (thirteen years ago) link
i've been too busy to play the last few days. I only got 3-4 runthroughs today before i had to put it down. however, on day 993, when i'm the only person in the entire world who is still playing, i will be laughing maniacally at the top of the rankings
― Z S, Friday, 24 June 2011 20:35 (thirteen years ago) link
obv if i'd been playing from day one i'd be all over yo asses.
― ledge, Friday, 24 June 2011 22:23 (thirteen years ago) link
I finally got an iPhone back and proceeded to get this game because of this thread. Its killing me. Im first on the ilx group today yay me and all my free time! Also ledge otm
― Jibe, Friday, 24 June 2011 23:23 (thirteen years ago) link
Ok, I'm going crazy on today's level, I really don't know how i'm supposed to do a 20.3s run to get a gold star. I'm like .5s away from that time!
― Jibe, Saturday, 2 July 2011 10:23 (thirteen years ago) link
i have no idea about this one either, i'm not even under 21s and already out of ideas.
― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 2 July 2011 11:44 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, i gave up on it pretty quick
― polyphonic, Saturday, 2 July 2011 18:02 (thirteen years ago) link
Apparently you figured it out sonderangerbot ^^. I was driving all day long so I didn't get a chance to crack it. Anyways today's course is a lot more to my liking.
― Jibe, Saturday, 2 July 2011 19:27 (thirteen years ago) link
Best showing yet just now!
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 01:56 (thirteen years ago) link
think this might be the first time i've gotten gold? and on the second complete run /braggin
― g++ (gbx), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 02:08 (thirteen years ago) link
The app keeps crashing every time I open it. Anyone else have that? I can't play this anymore :(
― Jibe, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 09:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Try deleting the app and reinstalling it.
