Adjustment to time allowed to hack vending machines - or diffculty.
The waves from the hacking mini game for the -selling portion of the- vending machines require way too much effort in the amount of time allowed.

I tried hacking it a few times and ended up getting after about 10-12 times but it took way too much time to be considered enjoyable and breaks the flow of the game. I feel that it is unfair to have to cover 3 wave forms in the amount of time allowed for the price.

If the game ends up supporting save slots then it is a non-issue and users will be able to balance it themselves by reloading...

Hacking in System Shock was way faster and even more in Bioshock.

I suggest you still do some more testing with new users on that hacking process to see if they enjoy it or not in order to balance it a bit!

Now that we are at it, can you explain how the mini game works?

I was always in such a hurry I could not fully realize what was going on. To me it looked like somekind of minesweeper game but the numbers often did not mean a thing. I had a "1" on one tile then the game ended....actually I don't even understand in this rush when or how the mini-game ends....there is no tutorial for this. Thanks in advance.

Will let the developer address that in full but to my understanding:

it is minesweeper but the next tile automatically tells you if there is a red tile in vicinity of it.

If you hit a red the section become pink and goes pack to the first tile - if that happens you race against it to try to get to the final tile without hitting more than another red tile (I think there is a delay and you can technically touch 3 red ones - not sure to fully understand that behaviour).

You can also fall of grey blockages as well.


Edit: If you are on a green - clicking on any tile up down left or right is safe.
