Re: Red

Post by ReVoRabbit »

are the RedX & RedO actually different puzzles? At first they appear to be, but after giving them a play, they seem so different. Anyone else experience the same thing?

Each RevoMaze Obsession is very similar to its Extreme counterpart when it comes to the basic maze pattern. This also goes for the red.

The feeling (and sound) of moving the pin through plastic differs from the metal, but you already know that.

Without spoiling anything, what "seems so different" to you in the red?

To my knowledge, the red plastic and the red metal are different. At least I have been told so. The metal version should be easier than the plastic (maybe?).

Why would a plastic versus a metal puzzle be anymore efficient? I am not sure what you mean.

well, i mean in my opinion, be able to grasp the plastic is much easier than the extreme. or at least i think so in my opinion. the bronze and red i own are hard to grab in comparison to the plastic grab. It also makes a bit of sense considering their is a training aid for sale. but that is kinda what i understood from the whole selling of a product like that.

I definitely found the plastics to be easier to grab.

So Gabi, you've decided to tackle the red with the obsession and not the extreme. It is much easier to grasp, isn't it. Please keep us updated with your progress :)

^no, i havent even touched the obsession yet. im asking what could possibly make the red obsession harder than the extreme. i've only used the extreme, and not the obbsession. but i am saying that in my opinion, the plastic is easier to keep a steady hold on, than the extreme metal

I could tell you... but then I'd have to edit myself... and that'd just be silly wouldn't it :P

True, it probably is easier to keep a steady hold on an obsession... but if you have both then I recommend the extreme first :)

I have only briefly messed around with red but I'd imagine the metal version would be easier. I found the plastic versions of blue and green to be harder to solve. There is a certain feel the metal puzzles have that the plastic versions don't.
