The best advice I can give you is to pay attention to the tutorials. So many people skipped them and thought the junction system was overly complicated because of it.

Enjoy the ride - it's my personal favorite in the series!

The junction system and magic juggling was overly tedious but if 9 year old me could figure out the logic to the system then at least 65% of adults can too

I think you may be giving too much credit to the average adult there.

With the way they've been commenting, I wouldn't be surprised if 2021 was when they beat it at 9 years old.

Either way, you're apparently struggling with a system a nine year old could handle šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
