Re: [Enigma-devel] Enigma 0.8 beta version questions

[Georg Wedemeyer]

Just to chime in on the discussion. i used to play oxyd/oxyd magnum and 
was first put off by the free choice of levels I was given in enigma.
I also have to mention that I was a pretty hardcore "gamer" back then, 
spending a whole weekend just in order to solve oxyd magnum.
Now beeing just a casual gamer I quickly realized it was fun and rather 
relaxing to jump to my favorites and leave others unsolved for the time 
beeing.
To decide when you just want a quick little fix or when you want to 
grind your teeth made enigma a whole other (better) experience.
I would vote for leaving the levels unlocked for now and later add a 
"tournament mode" for those who want to go through the levels (esp. the 
oxyd ones) in a specified order.
So one has the chance to build a well rounded ladder game with 
tournament mode with a few selected levels and the casual gamer can 
still toy around in "relaxed mode".
I agree with Ingo when he says
> Challenge and frustration are pretty closely related.
and I too think the levels in themselves are challenging enough to make 
enigma an entertaining game.

Thanks for listening
