The trapezes are giving me horrible flashbacks to my Lagrangian mechanics course.

Brrr.

But yeah, as Duncan says, it can be a real nightmare overcoming most of the level, before smashing your face into the final bar. The horror. The horror.

Been addicted to this for a week now.
Once you get the hang of the controls it’s… erm… still a bloody hard game. Those challenge levels are killer! Game could really benefit from some kind of checkpoint system (like Trials2) or a “rewind time” system (e.g. PoP, Braid etc.) because making a couple of difficult transitions on “Hop, Skip and Jump” by then stacking it on one of the later moves = starting all over again. Harsh. :-(

Gymnastic fantastic but controls kind of tragic!

Just a note on non-360 pads, there is a note in the readme about this, but you can open the “controller.cfg” file with a text editor (the file is in the “Content” directory of the game install), and adjust the controller mapping, including how the various axis’ are mapped to the right stick, which makes it possible to play with a DUALSHOCK via USB adapter, or SIXAXIS, etc.

But, it’s so damned hard to control! (even with a 360 pad)

I watched the tutorial, thought “oh, that looks fairly simple” and then I failed, I failed so hard I’m going to continue failing for at least 3 more months.

I build momentum, release and generally just plow into either the floor or a nearby bar – any actual grabbing that occurs is purely by accident!
