Going for a 6/10. Some levels are anoing to finish with a diamont left

[NyCzFiNeSt4pReZ]

Have the 100% in roughly 17 hrs play time, giving this a 2. Great game for the buck, might see this as a ps plus game in the future, blows angry birds away IMO. Very addicting and enjoyable, a must play for any trophy hunter and or puzzle player, easy enough for the average gamer.

Vote a 4. Took me about 15 hours to finish. Most of the levels I have played and completed are pretty much easy in which I can finish in several seconds. Although some levels took me like ten to twenty minutes due to occasional annoying parts I find in the game. Hall of Diamonds is basically the version of the existing levels you have finished before, except that you need to finish it in two shots (without throwing the diamond) unless you find a way to get an extra rock. Other than that, it's a fun physics-based puzzle game; it's nothing too hard, but not too easy so I'm gonna say medium (moderately challenging).

 

And I agree with the poster above, if this game is featured on PS Plus, more people will know it; not only that, they'll also get a PS4 version for free due to having cross-buy feature. I'm pretty sure I can play again and stack up the list whenever I have a PS4. (^_^)

I would say it's 4 too. I have done every trophy except the Hall of Diamonds because it is soo random it is getting ridiculous - eventually I will finish this (although it can net you 20-30 mins per level doing Hall of Diamonds) but I really don't know when since now I have around 17 hours of gameplay and a looot of levels to finish with 2 rocks. It's a little bit time consuming for a small game like this neverthless it's quite fun when you're in the mood for it.

[Tiberius]

A touch too hard for me, gave it a high number.

[SilentBun]

Gave it a 6

 

Some of the levels are really tough to get the diamond on.

[wrestlefanatic77]

7/10

 

Some levels automatically make this game harder than it really is, especially on the diamond levels. Fortunately for me, I got a ton of lucky bounces without much effort.

This right here has got to be the biggest crock of shit as far as difficulty ratings are concerned that I've ever seen. A 2/10? You're kidding, right? Please tell me that you are. Even the 4's that others have given this game are far-fetched but a 2/10 is absolutely ridiculous!

 

This game is unbelievably difficult and tedious and requires a considerable amount of skill, patience and luck. I've 100%'ed this game 3 times (PS3, PS Vita and PS4) so you'd think it would've been easier, right? Hell no dude, not at all. Trust me when I tell you that this game is tough - really tough - and you're going to be ripping your hair out in frustration, especially when you get to the Diamond levels. Even the Moustache world is noticeably more difficult than it's mirror imaged counterpart.

 

I rated this game in terms of difficulty an easy 7/10. This game was harder than any platinum or 100% I've ever achieved. Please note that I do not rate difficulty based on games like Ninja Gaiden, Dark/Demon Souls, etc. My ratings are based off every game I've played/platinumed/100%'ed. I also do my best to consider what I think your average gamer would find diffcult/easy. We're all not Gamer Gods like this guy in the quote apparently is. A "2/10"... "easy enough for the average gamer"...lol, yeah, okay. We must've played two entirely different games than.

 

From a trophy hunter's perspective do not play this game because 16 measly trophies isn't worth it man, not one bit. It's way too long and way too damn difficult. Don't be an idiot like me who subjected myself to this shit 3 freak'n times, ha ha! Avoid, avoid, avoid.

4. The game requires too much precision for the game's aiming mechanic. You are constantly swinging your projectile so you need to time the shot. It's not like Tennis in the Face where you can move your aim and see your initial firing line. In early levels its not too bad but in later levels (and diamond levels) you need at least one precision shot (by which I mean you need to hit your target EXACTLY so the rock bounces to at minimum one more specific target). This will mean many retries not because you can't figure out the level or hit the desired target (though those will happen too) but because you didn't hit the target JUST SO, or something doesn't bounce right, or fall the way you need to hit additional targets so you can get a free rock. In the worst level (imo) I needed three precision shots, involving hitting wall blocks JUST SO, so they would fall/crumble in the desired way. Many, many, many retries.

 

You'll need to be lucky sometimes. Every now and then I would get a slightly different set of bounces and end up clearing most of the level in my first shot.

 

The other annoying thing about this game is how needlessly repetitive it is. You are basically doing three full playthroughs: 1) basic campaign and unlock diamond levels, 2) diamond (same levels but need to have one projectile left over), and 3) moustache world (identical except mirrored levels). #3 is redundant and #2 should be earnable while doing #1.

You were right. It's free for Plus users this month.

No man, this is bordering sado-masochism really. After you 100%ed it the first time, you just couldn't resist such a beating.

 

I'm no where near done and I'm pushing 6 for difficulty. Bittrip: Runner 2, now that was a beating and a half..

7/10, this requires too much luck and precision and Golden Five is glitched which makes it even harder.

[NECROSMOKE_]

I voted 5/10. I would say it was easier, but some of the diamonds levels were hard to get the right angle. And the moustache world was a pain too. Many levels were different than in the normal world.

You just got lucky. Now go start it over and see what happens.

[pootas1985]

Ok I finally beat the game, gave it a 7/10 but it's really hard to tell it's difficulty level, because it isn't about skill, it's rather pure luck bullshit

Most of the levels are rather easy, some of them are tricky, but few are just pure pain in the ass, you can do the same throw over and over and 99 you fail but the 100 time you finally get lucky

It's addictive little game, but frustrating at times and time taking

[Paradigmatica]

7/10. This game is 50/50 luck/skill so outcomes will always vary. It is possible if you play it again your perception of difficulty would change based on the luck part. Normally I dont play these games but I stuck with it and patience paid off. Spent way to much time playing it even.

 

A warning to you 100%ers, this game is no joke.

Anyone giving this piece of crap anything under a 5 either got lucky or can slow down time. These diamond levels are insanely luck based and to be honest the stupidest trophy I’ve seen. Easily a 6

[Shuric1981]

Finally beat it. First of all it is a nice and addictive game. I enjoyed playing it. But oble for a Vita. Voted 5. It's def not a 2. When you start diamond level you think it's 7-8, but whith practice it gets easier. Would not play it on PS3 or PS4.

[hizi]

I gave it a 5...some levels are pretty hard. But overall doable. Just trial&error.

[bobthecrazydog]

5/10. The extra rock helped with some diamond levels. I had about 10-20 levels overall that took probably as much time as the rest combined. But if you think those are hard, try the Halloween bonus levels. Can’t get past the third quarter with them!

[Sedition]

I went with 5/10. Luck is a big factor. I'd say never restart a level - always try to make every shot count, even if you completely missed with one or two rocks. I had several occasions where I thought I had no chance, only for the final rock to bounce perfectly from one tank to another. That and times where I messed up a shot only for it to take everything out.

 

A video guide can help, especially on the single rock levels, but even then a lot of it is up to luck. I had a few where I tried to replicate a video only to accidentally succeed doing it completely differently.

 

I'd leave Mustache World for after the diamond levels - having that "extra" rock made them seem easier to me.

[Alvokun]

5/10, as some levels may be a bit difficult. They can usually be completed with patience and persistence, since they are slightly luck-based.
