Bronze before Orange?

Post by Sinitar204 »

Sup all xmas came a little early for me this year and my fiance surprised me with a orange maze. I am having a very challenging time with it so far and I wanted to ask if purchasing the Bronze first will better prepare me for the orange as the Bronze is the first dynamic maze of the series and eases you into the moving parts better then then orange would. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, it would help you get into the dynamic mindset and no doubt you'll end up getting one at some point anywho, so why not now ;)

definitely get the bronze. If anything, you'll probably want to start revoing with a blue or green just so you get the hang of the various components inside and what they feel like. Also learn a good mapping technique as this will usually unlock clues about how to proceed.

Cool I already have solved the Blue and Green I just was wondering if solving the Bronze would give me the better skills to take on the Orange. But yes I will most definitely be getting the Bronze now

the answer to that question is most definitely yes. Put another way, if you solve orange, bronze will be a walk in the park.

definitely true i bought the bronze when i was stuck at 85% in the orange and the bronze was open in just a few short hours but the solving of the bronze didnt help me solve the orange it just confirmed what i already knew about it

yeah the orange is extra devious. But it's not as overwhelming if you have bronze under your belt.
