Poll: Which Gameplay Options Do you Use?

Post by Midnight Synergy »

We're just curious how much or little of the gameplay options you use. We originally had no option to disable the time limit or unlock all worlds, since this is really how the game was meant to be played - but decided to put both in as options.

Thanks,

On Wonderland I played with the time limit, but I did use the option of skipping a level when I just couldn't get past one. I did this a couple of times. I would rather have that option than the one to unlock all worlds, because it seemed like I had to make a bigger decision to take a score of only one -- is this option available in RTW?

On Wonderland I got a fair way through with out the level skip do dah but was grateful for it. I find there's nothing more frustrating than not being able to play out a whole game because of one seemingly impossible puzzle (Time is of the Essence - case in point).

Being as busy as I find myself with work & family I've clicked on open all levels & no time limit so I can flit through the levels at leisure & work out puzzles without having to worry about time limits now. Later when I want to improve my scores I can go back (again at leisure) and plug away.

Obviously not everyone will want to go to my extent but for those of us who do it's certainly less stressful & I'm thankful for it! :D

Yes, just go to the options menu and select "Unlock All Worlds".

I'm not ashamed to say I don't use the time limit and I unlock all worlds.

I realize that this is not how it was intended, but it's not important to me how fast I can complete a level and in what order I complete them.

I just enjoy the challenge of figuring out and completing the puzzle.

Like Kiki, I play with the timer, but turn it off if lots of thinking is needed, then turn it on again once I know what to do.

I unlock all worlds because it is too frustrating not to be able to do one puzzle, when others further on seem easy-peasy. It's all a question of different brains.

I play with the timer on and normal world progression. I've allways thought that anything else would be cheating (no offense meant). Also I can be very stubborn. If a level is difficult for me, my desire to crack it gets so much bigger. :lol:

Originally played with the timer on but found that rather stressful at times! So mainly play with timer off but do like to go in the normal progression of the game.

In Wonderland,I would used to play with all the worlds unlocked and because I would like to enjoy my game and have much time to think,I use no time limit mode.
I think it's the best way to complete all the levels without any problem and hurry.
