I can't get past the freaking UFOs.
comments:
- among the abilities you're required to have (by the game), is the ability of stabilizing yourself in stationary platforms (so that you can wait for the moving ufos to approach you); stabilizing in the moving ones are a bit more difficult, one step further, but you'll eventually get it (keep in mind that the moving ufos don't affect the angle for your next jump)
- be careful when you're in a moving ufo and you approach the corner, for there's a small moment when the ufo vanishes (yes, they become unsteppable); you may want to jump to the above or below (if available) platforms, or want to avoid the situation beforehand
- let's say there are two red ufos moving in the same direction, and the red ufo from above is lagging behind; often, you'll be able to jump through what's seemingly an impossible distance, other times you'll really have to resort to the tip below.. (for the first case, take in account the time between when you leave the red ufo below, and when you're supposed to reach the next platform; this should be enough time for the above red ufo to be reached)
- now let's say that there are two blue ufos moving in the same direction and you're near the corner; as mentioned before, simply staying on the blue ufo below might (there are chances that you might not, though) make you fall because of the ufo disappearing and not reappearing fast enough; what do you do, if you can't jump towards the center of the screen safely? You jump towards the corner, because the same vanishing property that the moving ufos have, is the property that temporarily "shortens" the distance of both moving ufos (it reverts back to the original distance when the moving ufo from below enters the corner)
- with practice, you'll become better at judging the jump lenght (both the normal jump and the one through the corner), feeling the moving ufo's motion and their collision boxes (and yours), foreseeing paths; the key would be practice, in order to trivialize the sections before the ufos; getting to this section more constantly gives you more chances to try to overcome it
