Hi Michael, H... Well, in that case I will strongly reconsidder using timers alone to preserve originality for originality sake. I can always set the time to be specific to the difficulty so that it is harder to cross them on difficult and easy on easy. So I will make the change in my latest

Hi, Ouch! That would be really tough. In some areas of the original temples you might have to jump over two or three at most, but never ten. That is next to impossible. Yohandy wrote: > How about like 10 fire pits, and you need to cross 10 platforms? each could > disappear in 2 seconds and you

Hi Michael, James North's version of the platforms was closer to the original. The original were completely timed. I could of course do this, but I felt randomly changing the length of times would be more challenging. I mean if you want them to be timed I can do it, but random elements seamed a

Hi Michael, I'd like to clarify things just abit. The platforms do provide ample time to get across even on the lowest random value. You just have to be quick about it. In the entire time I have been testing the game I have only been dumped twice off a platform, and I simply misjudged when to ju
