Technically only mr_me played Level 3... I played Level 1 with the 3 Digits, He played Level 3 with 3 Digits.... Level 1 is super easy because you don't have to deal with fires to put out or flung components that errantly land on your circuit board which have to be disposed of quickly..... Yes I've gotten super fast with the tools on level 1.... Edited August 16, 2021 by Rickster8 Wording 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 The problem with the controls with level three is that the tool jumps three of four pixels on a tap. So if you want to move one or two pixels left, tap left goes too far, back right and you go to far. So to move left one or two pixels you tap diagonally left so the tool moves down a a couple pixels and left one pixel, then you tap back up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to move left one or two pixels you tap diagonally left so the tool moves down a a couple pixels and left one pixel, then you tap back up. So you are saying instead of tapping left or right and going too far that we should utilize the diagonals on the disc which would be 10 oclock, 2 oclock, 4 oclock and 8 oclock and then use up and down to finish the movement? Hmmm interesting. I will try it, but I'm sure it will end in continued level 3 frustration lol..... ?

Don't like using the left side button.. I've actually been playing using my Ultimate Flashback (jzintv) for Bomb Squad, but I have not tried 3:3 in like a week. I will maybe fire up the real hardware later and try 3:3 on there to see if it's any better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
