, P* h8 q) ~3 p* S(1) Use the Up/Right/Left keyboard arrows ONLY … and not your mouse at all! That way you can keep your eye all the time on the spider-robot movements. (Also, the mouse-clickable arrows on the screen are quite quirky, whereas the keyboard arrows aren’t!)

N.B. Clicking the Up arrow does not (generally) cause the spider-robot to move UPWARDS. It moves it forward one square in the direction it was facing at that time! Right click causes the spider-robot to turn to ITS right … left click similarly!# }& S0 {& z+ o: J; o D/ E3 x" ]4 ?1 I

(2) In the ‘dangerous’ portions of the trek, remember the moves by heart, so that you only have to look at & concentrate entirely on the screen &/or the keyboard arrows. This is generally very easy since there are only 2 or 3 moves to remember each time! , l1 y P6 [3 J+ o6 I( T' O9 W

However, in one place ONLY there are more moves to remember … 8 in all. However, if you repeat these (if necessary a few times) to yourself, you can easily remember them … you always have as much time as you like to do this during the safe/rest period(s).

) `, e6 M+ @' U8 u(4) IMO, the main cause of failure is not knowing (more or less exactly) WHEN to start each of the 4 ‘difficult’ sections. These depend each time upon the movement of the lasers, and are described here (as best I can) in bold pink colored italics … they are constantly periodic & repetitive, and fortunately not random.

**** It helps to turn the music completely off for this puzzle and increase your speakers' volume substantially … that way you can hear the clicking of the spider's legs … which is very helpful.3 C7 ~' F/ K V! r6 W

7 \" j( @4 d6 w* l1 b3 r**** Before starting each section, apart from ‘learning’ the moves by heart (so that you really don’t have to look at the keyboard at all), it’s worth while carefully watching the ONE ONLY relevant laser in each case a few times, in order to clearly see its ‘orbit’ & adjust to its rhythm.

**** The trickiest part probably is to CONSTANTLY watch {& listen to} the spider (only !). You must not pause AT ALL between each of your keyboard clicks. However, occasionally you may quite likely find yourself being ‘over-eager’, and clicking BEFORE the spider is ‘ready to react’ … but if/when you see this, it can generally be rectified immediately !! |
