15300 Jack got the last set of keys from 15298, travelled right to 15300 on the blue bat platform. It now has a down arrow, but nothing happens when Jack jumps on it, it doesn't move. (see pic)
margherita, congratulations for getting 100% and all money, that's awesome!!!
Just seeing that image made me realize there's another issue even with this fix. You wouldn't have had space available to get that key even if it had gone down, which is a problem. I do have an idea for it though, which I'll fix when I get home.
I could put up a trigger that will permanantly create a platform going back up if Jack comes down that way, so that even if he missed it the one time, he'd be able to go back up easier and get it later.
I have had another thought on how to fix this key business.... I could move those blue keys in each of the green key rooms (except for the last one) so that there are behind the green doors next to the levers. This would mean that Jack would only have as many as 1 green and 1 blue key at a time.
The downside here is that Jack would have to make multiple trips. I had initially thought to leave this up to the player when deciding when to pick up the various keys, because at worst it would mean that Jack might have to make a few extra trips. If I go with the other approach, I'm basically forcing Jack to go after one key at a time.
Kind of a bummer - on one hand key management was always going to be one of the challenges (for the player), but because of how things are spread out, I can see how frustrating that would be. Oh well... it will give me something to think about during my commute home.
