What would Joshua Foreman think of this?

[Rikimaru.7890]

In all humility I am something of an expert at Jumping Puzzles, and normally I can do the Clock Tower almost every time.

However due to a misfortune event my right hand is in a cast currently. So even I thought that attempting to do it with just my left hand is wishful thinking.

But that didn't stop me from trying anyway, as I predicted it was night impossible to manoeuvre under such time pressure using the A and D keys, let alone make it on time.

And yet after 20+ tries I managed to get past the leap of faith and reached the top.

So question is am I insane or what? Because even I would think I'm crazy to pull off such a stunt.

Likely very impressed and pleased

 

I don't think I've got further than the first few jumps with two working hands....

Practice makes perfect. Once you got the hang in it time wise and know where to jump to it gets easier. I am not fortunate to get far this year (experiencing lag) so Ill try again when most ppl sleep I guess.

Well done! I can't do it with a working pair of hands either. Well, couldn't a few years back. I sort of gave up trying after the first two years. Maybe I'm better now? But the same issue I had then prevails today: I mouse steer, it's all right turns, my mouse falls off the mouse pad and I'm stopped for a crucial half second to adjust and I die. (I have tried hard to WASD in many games, I'm too right handed to manage that). So bravo to your skill!

I agree on practice part, but waiting till everyone falls/finishes is major PITA.

This JP would be much less annoying if it were solo instance.

I had this in the past as well... I changed the DPI of my mouse (like as in how fast it is and how responsive and how much you have to move it around) in configuration screen and I no longer had to move 2 lengths of my arm at this jump puzzle. I strongly recommend to change it if you fall off the mouse pad. You can always turn it backwards after in setting on your pc (tho I got used to the setting).

I just wish they'd fix the lag when the platforms first materialize. It doesn't happen every time and it's not always the same "amount" so it really screws up your timing. I die more to this part than all other parts of the puzzle combined, and it's been this way forever.

Insanely _awesome_! I can barely land on a platform a few feet away, let alone doing the Clock Tower with an injured hand. He probably would be really proud!

Wonderful advice. Sadly, I already have a super sensitive dpi so a minimal sideways movement can carry my mouse across two wide monitors. Any more sensitive and my cursor would be at the bookcases on the far wall :)

 

It's ok, I'm fine with having things I can't do!
