Let's Play Pitman #12: Ending the Curse and the Level Editor
74Three levels. Just three levels remain for Catboy and Catgirl to solve, three levels between them and the curse placed upon them being lifted. With all the challenges that came before fresh in my mind, one can only imagine how terrifyingly difficult the last three puzzles in this game will be. They'll test my problem solving skills to the limit, presenting seemingly impossible conundrums to solve, so much so that they may finally stop our forward progress. Will Catboy and Catgirl be able to overcome the odds and finish the remaining few of the one hundred levels the monster that cursed them placed before them or will they forever remain as they are?
More importantly, will they ever actually get round to having that picnic that set all this off in the first place?
Pitman is a game that I'd only lightly delved into in the past and I have to say, I wish I'd tried to complete it back then. The puzzles may start off simple but they grow to be positively ingenious later on, testing your problem solving skills all the while being great fun. Though I didn't use the time rewind mechanic as much as I should have, its a great feature which eventually The game has a lighthearted atmosphere about it with the dancing enemies, the music and the main characters. The password system makes it a perfect 'pick up and play' kind of game, where you can try to complete a few levels and then jot down your new password to progress later. The level editor is a fantastic edition that gives this game far more replay value, letting you create levels to challenge others or yourself with. If I had any complaint about the game, it'd be that the very limited selection of music could get somewhat tedious if you played the game for a long period, though that's a quite minor complaint.
While it's true that I did get stuck at many points that's the whole point of the game, to puzzle and confound. Even if my progress as slow at points it did occur and as I got further in I started to see that I was improving, seeing solutions quicker than I had before. It was exceptionally difficult getting through this game but I'm happy that I did and if you like puzzle games, I'd definitely encourage you to give this one a try. You'll surely find different solutions to many of the puzzles, likely better ones too.
So what's next? With the other game I'm playing soon to finish as well, the all-too-often situation of having to start multiple let's plays at once is upon me. Fortunately, this time I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to play in place of both games. While I won't give away here exactly what it'll be - I've given a few hints on my channel and twitter - I will say that it's going to be quite an adventure, one that I have very little experience with but that I've heard is awesome on many levels.
See you next let's play!
