On level 10 chapter 2, I get only 2 gold or yellow coins out of 3, don't know what I am doing wrong, I got the two stars in that level so what else need I to do here to get all 3 yellow coins. 19civciV Well-Known Member Apr 9, 2015 192 0 16 Level Designer, Social Media Marketing & Managemen Nantes, France http://www.twitter.com/Vicvic91 #8 19civciV, Aug 10, 2017 Very cool puzzle game ! I'm just a bit frustrated how slow the moves are... When restarting a level, it becomes really horrible to wait ahah ! Btw, could there be a "Undo" button to reset a move ? 19civciV Well-Known Member Apr 9, 2015 192 0 16 Level Designer, Social Media Marketing & Managemen Nantes, France http://www.twitter.com/Vicvic91 #9 19civciV, Aug 10, 2017 Last edited: Aug 10, 2017 I got the 3 yellow coins ! . nº1 = finish the level . nº2 = collect all stars . nº3 = finish with before the move counter (blue color become red when you are too slow on a level) In some levels, there is also a star about "collecting all the objects" Hope it will help you ROGER-NL Well-Known Member May 21, 2012 4,030 340 83 Male Gamer.

How close are the target (par) move counts to the true minimum number of moves (from optimal solutions)? The few levels I tried have a wide margin. Not sure how this margin is determined for the game. +1 also for the undo button. Some levels have multiple pools. For these levels, it is annoying to force the player to start the entire pool sequence rather than just the current pool when the player makes an error and needs to redo a particular pool.

Honki Well-Known Member Nov 6, 2011 61 0 6 #14 Honki, Aug 11, 2017 Very stylish presentation. I really enjoy the game, but there are some things that I'd love to be considered: An Undo button is mandatory for these kind of puzzle gamesa imho. This game has none. Levels that spread over several pools should not restart from the beginning of the level but only from the current "active" pool (especially b/c of the lacking undo feature) the max number of steps beaten to get all medals should be clearly written under the move counter.

The lack of an undo button really hampers any effort of troubleshooting and experimentation to finding a working solution. It adds NO value to gameplay, forcing the player to tiresomely replay over and over the same earlier sequences of moves just to try out a new move. Real turn-off for what appears to be an excellent puzzler. PS: Level 3-13 was a surprisingly difficult level so early into the game. The solution was convoluted, at least the one I got. I am fairly certain that you cannot score both objectives in a single play (perhaps hinted by the separate columns listing the objectives). Getting the star requires use of all of the water pistols.

I must admit I am wondering if this is part of the reason why this game is not receiving as much attention as I have expected from here for a game of this caliber. When the number of steps to complete a level is fairly small, the lack of an undo button may not be much of an issue. In this game, however, the levels are quite long (which is a good feature) and elaborate (which is also a good feature). Thus, forcing the player to replay parts of the level that have already been solved is a pointless exercise and does not add to the gameplay experience. For example, troubleshooting for the 4-gold coin solution in Level V-10 is a pain because of large number of steps needed to complete each objective. 19civciV Well-Known Member Apr 9, 2015 192 0 16 Level Designer, Social Media Marketing & Managemen Nantes, France http://www.twitter.com/Vicvic91 #19 19civciV, Aug 16, 2017 I agree with the difficulty ! It was a zen puzzle games on the first 2 packs, no matter the undo button. But it's a really painfull to complete the other ones as it's so frustrative to restart again and again parts that are solved, with this delay in between each move. It's not a zen game anymore, it's a stressfull one now that you need to get the perfect logic if you don't want to restart again... MatLoz Well-Known Member Dec 17, 2014 78 28 18 Dev @ Lozange Lab France https://www.lozange-lab.com #20 MatLoz, Aug 18, 2017 Thanks for buying Swim Out and sharing your feedback! Just to let you know that we heard your requests and we are currently working on a way to reduce the tedious feeling some of you are experiencing on the hardest levels, and level V-10 with all the objectives fulfiled is probably the most vicious level of the game Never underestimate the power of the noodle ! Although this won't be an unlimitted undo button because, even for the V-10, you can get out of the pool in 20 moves, and with only 4 directions available, you could just trial and error to the ladder with no fun and no understanding of how you got there.
