I keep hearing about a secret boss called Simon Says, But I can't find him! :(
Personally I haven't really been looking.
-
Never mind. I found him. :D
-
Simon says "don't give up too quickly." =^.^=

;D Good one.
And I really need that. I'm about to face him in my actual play through and for me, this is the hardest and most annoying boss. >:(

Don't worry, it only took me about 40 times. And I fail at this game! =^.^=
Incidentally, I haven't actually ever experienced this time limit thing everyone has been complaining about... every time I failed was because I accidentally moved my mouse past a note, then back the other direction; hit a wrong note; or I blinked and couldn't tell which note it had played. ._.
I was convinced I'd have memorized what sound each color makes by the time I finished that boss... ^^;
-
Meh, I don't get what people find so hard about this boss.. I just went there and did it in 1 try... :-\

Some people don't have uberreflexes, uberhearing and ubervision like you Wizarduss, we should all just pray at your feet because you are so awesome.

Yeah, that's not what I meant... I probably should've put it in another way, but still it's no reason to get bitchy.. :o
I'm sorry I made it in one time, probably just luck, but because of that I don't see what people think is so hard in it.

Sometimes the boss gives really, really hard combinations of notes. The 40th or so time I did it almost all the notes were the same note, so I finally managed to get it. xD
The stuff my family was doing around me didn't really help either.

Alpha, aren't you a pro at the Simon says too? :)

Having a pro on the non-pro side isn't that bad. :3

Yeah, but I bet it took him more than one try to do it. That, and he's color-blind.
I never beat Simon, but that's because I play on a laptop.
-
Actually, I also got it the first time, but I ain't boasting about it and looking down on people wondering why it's so hard.
Second to that I'm colorblind AND tonedeaf, so it was all visual. Though I'm kind of boasting now.
Either way, that first time was already fairly easy, first was half a circle, then 3 random notes, so I was fairly lucky.

Oh, I assumed it took you more than one try because of your post back there. But then again, you were putting him down because of his inability to perceive why a situation would be difficult even though it wasn't for him.
Really, Simon says isn't something that should be done on a laptop.
-
Well, not with a touch-pad anyway, but that goes for the entire game. It plays just fine if you have a nice little usb wireless mouse though. I played most of Aquaria on my laptop.

I do everything on a laptop. ._.
-
I tried it with a touchpad for about 5 minutes and about went bananas.
...I wonder what this game would be like for trackball enthusiasts?
-

Really, just get a USB mouse and you should be fine. Aside from lacking a number pad, there's little a laptop can't do.

I have a USB mouse and keyboard. =^.^=

The game plays fine with a touchpad, thank you very much. Either that, or I have the best touchpad reflexes in existence.
And yet I can't beat Simon. :(
-
I like playing fps games with the dot in the middle of the keyboard and making people go. O.O
-
Hah, that dot is ridiculous. :)
-
It works better than a touchpad for fps games. :3
-
But how do you press the mouse buttons?
-
They tend to be under the space bar. You have to relearn what fingers control what parts of the game though. :3
-
Ah, I see. My laptop just has a touchpad, with the mouse buttons being under it.
-
My sister's computer has mouse buttons under the space bar, AND under the touchpad. o.o
(And yes, both the dot and the touchpad)
-
My old laptop had a dot and a 'pad, it was kind of inconvenient because I kept nudging the dot when I typed.

No pun intended? :3
-
I saw that after I posted, but I hoped people would politely ignore it.
-
sorry :(
Let's pretend I ignored it and move on ^.^
-
OK- I cannot beat this guy. I guess I need to buy a new mouse. I memorize it just fine, but my mouse (and mind) just can't do it fast enough- if was only keys... instead of the stinking mouse.
-
You could just keep trying until you get lucky.
Or post your save game and let someone else do it.
-
I used my Xbox controller. Though because there's no indicator of where the thumbstick position is, it's just as hard to hit the notes.
-
How long have you tried? If you haven't tried past an hour, then you haven't tried enough.
-
2 hours today, 3 hours yesterday.
Nevermid, just used my programming skills and made Simon wait longer and do easier songs...
-
I did it with my MacBook Pro trackpad, and a finger on the control button. That works fine for the entire game, but Simon drives me nuts! Using a mouse does not seem to make the matter easier, I just got to get a good sequence. I even abort sequences I see are going to be hard. And it never helps when in the middle of it Li and Naija start hugging. Get a room already!
One night I worked on him for 15 minutes until I had enough, and the next morning did it first try. I think that may be a method: The Simon Says game uses parts of our brain that get little use in the present world. Try the game, give your brain a night to process the new task, and its easier. Other times I did it in one sitting, after a zillion tries. I think it also helps if after you fail, you wait 10 seconds or so for the old pattern to flush out of your short term memory, so as to not confuse you when you try the new one.
-
Yeah this has been reported many times already at least for dispel under sanct

-

-
