As I was a small child I in playing copied the secvential of movements of my father and my elder brother as I saw how they played. I never could get achive more then 20-25 rooms with 8 lives.
I was more than 18 years old, as I first started to solve the rooms ob my own. Before that, I was skilled with movements, and I made excellent and accurate jumps. After 18 it was more easier to solve, and now over 30 it is hard to move without getting killed. I hate the spinning things, that are changing the direction during movement, and not only by collosion.
My bigges success was the room (see attachment) I solved it alone. I was saying back then: Why are these things are there in this room, if there is nothing else. Then I decided to put all the tee-accessories under the ball. Nothing came out on the other side. Then I thought, this ball is maybe not without purpose here. So with a lot of trying i successfully collected that particular batmobile part.
At the end I came to that summary, without unlimited life, I never get this feeling of successfulness.
