Re: I need help on Tour de force 17!

Take a few days off from playing Neverball - believe it or not, this can IMPROVE your playing style.

I have finished all levels (RLK and MYM) legit by taking forced breaks. I cannot put my finger on WHY you improve, but it must come down to reflex memory - or something. I sometimes have the same issues with 3D platformers, and a full day or two off, seems to make a world of difference.

Don't get frustrated - that is the key, and don't try to pre-empt any upcoming obstacles.

The most frustrating times are trying to do a perfect time run, and playing the same level OVER and OVER!

Best of luck!

Re: I need help on Tour de force 17!

Another idea is go to the nevertable and watch some replays of that level. You may pick up some ideas for techniques or what you are doing wrong by watching someone's successful run, or at least it will inspire you!

btw, props to you for not wanting to cheat or skip the level.

Re: I need help on Tour de force 17!

Thanks! I didn't need a break from never ball I just needed a break from Tour de force. smile
Anyway watching replays did help a lot, I never knew that watching replays could help so much!
When I got to the goal I missed it and I was right by it to! D: I'm just glad that I won this level now, it was REALLY HARD!

Thanks!

Congratulations! The best part is still to come.. One day you'll return to it and it will seem just oh so easy, and you'll be able to do it in a heartbeat!
