: Yes, it's in Mk II, and the increased time is noticable when played on
: Normal. Previously on Normal I barely had time to make it. Now I can make
: it on normal with lots of time to spare. I have never beat the clock on
: TC, even now. It's not just a matter of time. One other thing to consider
: - players are not likely to take the time urgency seriously, so it's very
: likely they will fail the first time through, regardless of how much time
: you give them. The second time through they almost certainly will
: recognize that time is probably a factor. You need to make it possible for
: most players if they don't dally - otherwise they will never get beyond
: the Marathon.
Right, that's what I had intended. Make it so that players will normally fail the first time through, but once they realize that they have to hurry, that they can beat the level reasonably well. I think you have a good point thought that no matter HOW MUCH time I give them, the first time they will dally, and miss the timer. So maybe I'll stick another two minutes on the counter... seven minutes is a nice round number anyway :-)
