YMMV / Around the World in 80 Days

Go To

  • Difficulty Spike: Day 49 in China is the point where the game basically makes the strategy of trying to make the pieces fall down as fast as possible which has worked for the past 48 days unviable by putting four pieces above a wall. You have to shove them to the sides and use the hammer wisely if you plan to beat the level within the time limit, which itself is rather strict. Later levels also use walls in other devious ways or otherwise start placing pieces in a way designed to waste as much time as possible.
  • That One Level: Day 72 is a nightmare. Simply put, you have six pieces above walls and two double-ice tiles, as well as two pieces above double-ice tiles on the sides of the screen. There are also two optional money bags that are going to get in the way unless you drop them as well. Power-ups won't help much for the pieces in the middle which have to be painstakingly shoved, while the time limit doesn't mess around, often giving just enough time for dropping all pieces except for one or two.
