Cool - I really like this game. I haven't really played it that heavily so this gives me a good excuse to try and explore the game much more than I have in the past. That said, I don't expect to get a particularly good score but I do expect to have a lot of fun

Instead of playing the game moving from left to right, try it the other way. On the screen you're describing if you immediately run left, ignoring what's going on around you, and just jump over the branch, you'll run under all of the snowflakes and will be ahead of the bouncing ball as you run.

 

BTW - I found this video on YT and all I can say is wow - I am in absolute awe of this person.

it did work but it doens't feel right going left. Is that a glitch?

Not a glitch at all - it's by design. For example, if you run right to left, when you get to the end of the stage where the Babyland wall is, you have to run to the far left to end the round. If you run through the round from left to right then at the wall you have to run to the far right to end the round. I'm convinced that this was intentional design seeing as the game detects, and reacts to, the direction you take.

 

Another example is if you lose a "life", Anna restarts that scene either on the left or right side depending upon the direction you entered the scene on.

That's true , you do start on the correct edge of the screen. Why do the balls not reverse direction though. Anyways it works. I got past that screen. Good tip. I had no idea you could even go left and still be able to finish the level. I think I figured you would just never get to the last screen that way.

[Ikrananka]

It's unusual that's for sure. My impression is that they intended for this to be up to the player to figure out which way works best for them to get through the scenes. The timing of the objects on the scene you had trouble with really does seem to indicate to me that they set them up to make it much easier moving right to left than the other way. I guess this is just another challenge of the game, figuring out the best direction to tackle each scene from.

28,650 pts. Went left on stages 1 and 2 and went right on stage 3.

 

 

[DuggerVideoGames]

41,050 pts. Went left on stages 1-2 and went right on stages 3-4. I recommend you try this out for yourselves and pay special attention to the scene numbers when you finally decide to start a level in the opposite direction.

Really didn't think I was going to get this score - Scene 29 kept giving me so much grief - those damn fish. Finally got past it only to be stung in the tail by a bee
