I think’s been going better than ok. I have 69 dandelions and 4 flowers. At first, I was focused on beating every level I saw. I learned that the levels in each zone are separated by difficulty so now I want to try the other easier levels or varied levels. I liked that cuz it showed me that not every problem can be fixed right off the bat in the game and I think in life. Like you can come back to it later when you know more and are smarter.
Lately I tried earlier levels that I skipped such as Zone 1 - Extra 2, and I’ve been approaching the levels more consciously than before. Before that I would try and see what sticks and when I somehow finished the level, I didn’t feel as satisfied and was glad it was over. I think I had problems with that approach.
Now though I try to talk to myself like (small spoiler for the game) for Zone 1 - Extra 2 I would tell myself I have to either push baba or the rock past the crab even though I seemingly only have two entities to work with(baba and the rock). Every time I beat a level now my jaw just drops now. It feels so satisfying beating it that I’m surprised with myself.
I’m still going to move on from harder levels and try other newer levels cuz I think about the rate of learning. Knowing about the rate of learning over time helps cuz I can ask myself after a few minutes of trying, “Am I even learning anything new in the game right now?” “No? Time to move on.”
