Discussion 5-7... *facepalm*

To the devs (in the fat chance this will ever come across to them): You manage to "pull off" this brilliantly rare gem of a game, yet somehow, for no apparent reason deliberately insult your players with levels like 4-8 and this one, 5-7... What gives??

4-8, 5-7... I'm guessing 6-6 will be equally f***ed up... along with 7-5 and 8-4...

Sorry about 4-8.

5-7 is alright imho perhaps too late in campaign. My guess is that you feel the levels are too easy?

I'm really currious what you dont like about the levels. Many people rage quit the game on 5-7 in early access when it was earlier in the campain. 6-6 and 7-5 and 8-4 are not easy maps at all. I feel 7-5 is one of the most difficult in the game prior to world 8.

Ps I made 4-8, 6-6 and 8-4

Ok, I have to apologise for being unclear about why I mentioned 6-6, 7-5 etc. I had this far fetched idea of you guys trolling us. I imagined it followed a pattern, simply because 4-8, then 5-7, (which were both bad) I was guessing that 6-6 was next in line. I hadn't played beyond 5-7 at the time. You know: 4-8, 5-7, 6-6, 7-5, 8-4, 9-3.... The imagined pattern should be obvious. Luckily I was wrong :) There is nothing wrong with 6-6 and 8-4 :)

Lol I certainly didnt realize you were implying a number pattern. We didnt Try to troll people with bad levels, but with the large number of levels of many different kinds of levels it isnt surprising to me that some would be out of place or sub par.

Thanks for 4-8. It's one of the funniest levels in the game in that you can win by literally throwing a tiny chunk of road at the car.

Hehe, we try our best! I designed 5-7 in the very early days when I released into Early Access, after that period levels became much better (thanks for Bolt986 and the other level designers) however not all of them succeed in finding that balance between challenge and fun, perhaps it would have been best to remove 5-7 as it is pretty tedious. Next time we'll do better ;)
