nor bushes!...but bushes do can get more effective posons over time.........

My only problem isn't that spike damage scales, but that are some spiked floors that require an exact timing to pass, making into 2 possibilities: 1: you time for when the spikes go down, and try to pass, only to be fooled by the ping and your lag (major issues, everyone have enough lag for this), and finish above the last bit of spikes; or 2: time well, considering your ing and lag (WTF), and pass above the spikes as soon as it begins to get down, sometimes earlier too, so you can make it to the other side (i actually do this a lot, 50% hit chance for me, and it seens that i do the first step above the spikes, then it begins to fall and i don't receive the damage, even that i walked in spikes).

I do on bushes when fancy stuff dropped in the middle of them :/ I've checked it now, and at depth 22 my lvl 10 Rock Jelly Shield breaks after 4 "ticks". That is brutal, very very brutal.

Many sword combo attacks carry you forward during the second or third swing, which is cause for much inadvertent bumbling into bushes (which you then have to limp back out of). Spikes were discussed in another rage thread recently as well...

i mostly of the time fall on spikes/bushes for these motives:

-The enemy seen to be drawn to them when they get knocked back by my attacks, and, in the chase, i don't see/notice the traps;
-I'm too concerned in run from a hell of missiles/fire/bombs/chairs to get my attetention to the features that don't produce that much graphical lag;
-I see something sweet to get at the bushes;
-I get the timing wrong to compensate the ping and graphical lag, and finish getting 1 hit right when the spikes are about to go down;
-I miss the time count for the spikes to come back, while i'm trying to pass/get an item;
-an enemy attack knocks me at them;
-I'm too concerned in evade puppy mk2 shots, and finish up being fooled by lag, pressing too much the walk button, or even getting smally knocked by the shot;
-I ressed the left click outside the game windo, what made me go out of the game window, right when i was passing through spike floors, or when monsters with high knockback are attacking (most of the times i die because of the monsters, though).

...hmm, i think that is all

> Who steps on spikes or bushes?
Anyone who wants to leave Spiral Court 2 :-)

There's another level with a mean timing puzzle with a timed gate switch and spikes, made harder by the camera angle.

Spiral Court 2's puzzle is solvable, on a mac, that barely meets the game's standard. Not easy, and not pain free, but solvable. (Not in the obvious way -- took me several attempts to figure out how to solve it given the low response time.)

Drivers on Dell systems: Yea, my Ge-Force 2.5 that pretends to be Ge-Force 4 graphic card, with a driver from the manufacturer, plays perfectly. Neither the official dell driver, nor the official microsoft driver does.

Does ATI make a replacement driver for the Mac? Probably not.

Does it make sense to have a long strip of spikes that can only be crossed without damage with perfect timing? No. Who built that thing, and why?

You do know you are complaining about the game based on arguments that originated from your computer not meeting the specs to run the game? I don't see how that is helpful towards making this game enjoyable.
