"Pop'n'Pop Stage" & "Pop'n'Pop Vs" games have different difficulty levels (Easy, Normal & Hard).

The Easy option in the Stage game only plays 5 levels - so that doesn't need to be split, but the Easy in the Vs. game allows you to play most of the game, and is easier than the Normal difficulty.

The Hard difficulty option in all games adds additional balloons to each level, and therefore makes the gameplay more difficult. I think that the Hard & mode should be made a split. Note: No-one has submitted a recording for difficulty=Hard yet.

The Easy Vs. Option should also be made a split.

Please vote and/or reply with comments.

Can you elaborate more about the Easy mode in single player? If the levels are DIFFERENT than from normal and hard, it should probably be split too.

Ok,

The Easy difficulty in the "Pop'n'Pop Puzzle/Stage" game only allows the player to play 5 rounds. before Game Over. I thought that as a score on this level can easily be beaten by a Normal difficulty recording, then no split is needed. Although this would mean no Stage/Puzzle mode Easy difficulty recordings in MARP.

The Easy difficulty in the "Pop'n'Pop Vs. Computer" game , as far as I can tell, allows the same stages as the normal level of difficulty - only easier - so I don't think recordings in this mode should be allowed (or they should be split). However, I don't think any recordings have been made at this difficulty yet!

The Hard difficulty (as I've said) gives simular levels/stages, only more difficult, as more balloons are added, and each round's screen layout would show a more complex configuration of balloons. This should definitely be split, IMO!

Hope this helps, please let me know if you need more info.

Sorry, it didn't...

What I want to know if the 5 LEVELS in the Easy single player game are the SAME as 5 of the levels from the Normal single player game.

Roncli, it is the same layout, but the Beginner mode has on screen instructions, and the number of balloons you need to deal with has been vastly reduced.

I'm not sure if you'd call it the same or not as the number of balloons to pop (the object of each level) varies according to difficulty level. Though, the emenies remain the same (as far as I know).

As per *PL*'s comment, voting for the split in difficulty levels is now closed. No split will take place

As there are a vastly reduced number of balloons in easy mode, I feel that it wouldn't be fair to allow recordings in this mode. It also looks like we won't be seeing any recordings made using the Hard difficulty - oh well!

I will open a new POLL to disallow the Easy/Beginner mode recordings on all Pop'n'Pop games. As far as I kmow, no recordings have been made in beginner mode, so it should be easy to disallow it in the rules now.

Well, I guess voting has closed on this now.

From my other poll, is seems that disallowing 'Easy Mode' recordings was not popular. I guess the splitting option has gained the 2/3 of the public vote.

Pat [***PL***], can you take this from here and decide whether we need to split (is 2 votes enough of public vote!) or whether no change is to be made.

Thanks and regards,
Kranser.

If there aren't any complaints about my trying to introduce any sort of parliamentary procedure into this, I move that the vote be restarted instead.

Well, that might not be a bad idea, seeing that I took ***PL***'s comment serously, and posted a reply saying that I would stop the public vote. All PL was doing was giving his opinion - not wanting to stop the public vote.
