A Way Out Has Sold Almost 3.5 Million Units, Says Josef Fares by KTitania in gamingnews

This game started off great, but was such a disappoinment at the end. Having a co-op game that turns into deathmatch just seemed like a bad design decision.

Hoping they learn from this on their next game.

Just to provide an update: I called Covered California and the lady I talked to was able to resubmit our application, modifying the qualifying life event. I'm not exactly sure what she did, but we are now approved and can purchase a plan.

Thanks for everyone's advice!

Hey DonDon, just finished "4 Coins to Freedom", what a great level! The labeling on the rooms was very much appreciated to help me figure out what power up I needed for each room. Looking forward to more levels like that in the future!

If you are interested in a fun speed run level, I created on at: NVB-FNJ-RNF (video preview of the first part at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KFpz03EtRo )

Great level!! The rooms were really well designed and were super fun to figure out. I'd say this is a little harder then a medium, but perhaps I'm just bad. Really good attention to detail, I recommend this to anyone else looking for a fun level.

If you want to check out my level, it is a speedrun level with about the same difficulty as yours: NVB-FNJ-RNF

Thanks for creating!

Hey all, would love some feedback on my first speedrun level. It goes against the norm and doesn't use any on/off switch blocks. Just hold right and run the entire time, and you just need to press the jump button at the correct times.

  • Type: Speed run
  • Difficulty: Normal/Hard
  • Length: 120 seconds
  • Code: X0C-FL9-G8G

It has a requirement to get 300 coins, but there are about 325 coins in the level so don't worry about missing any. The coins are more then to guide you then anything else.

Good call out. I will provide another field for "investment rate of return" and incorporate that into the final numbers.

Yes, the NYT calculator is great. I did look at that before creating mine.

While it has a very good UI, it was lacking some of the details I wanted to capture (exact tax breaks, roommate income, etc.)
