At first I thought this wouldn't be too bad, but my little finger isn't as little as I'd like & I keep getting told of for 'stabbing' the tama! I need more practice...

The Void

Not that I'm entering, but I just spent 15 minutes on Part Two, and missed #20. D'oh!
I think this one might not last too long....
If you don't want to BUY MY BOOKS 😉, then why not ask your local library to order them in, and read them for free? That would help too. Cheers!

AFAIK I've never submitted a video to a KCC, so I may try level 1. It is hard enough for me, specially because I've never been good at Thumb traps

P.S.: I really like the idea of having levels to allow players with less skill (like myself) still have fun.

I managed to get to the Thumb trap with only 2 misses, but that last one I need to practice it a lot more.
