So I figured i'd stop taking up all of the topic in woooooo and make one for this game.

Anyway I'm stuck near the end. I'd like to finish this before I really start getting into any other games, but I am getting frustrated.
I am in meat circus, right after you beat oleanders dad the first time. Raz's dad comes out and says climb or drown and you have to follow him, and I can just fine until I get to the climbing part. Basically its wire mesh you climb on, but it spirals around in a circle, and there's gaps. But you have to double jump and change direction of your jump to get past the gaps. I can not do this to save my life.

Anyone had any advice for that part. I feel like smashing my keyboard when I fall in the water 10 times in a row.

No help, only sympathy.

I dearly love this game but the difficulty curve third act climax is incredibly broken. I own this for PS2 and while I have played this dozens of times, I've only beaten it twice.

Finally figured out what was wrong!

The game differentiates between 'jumping' and 'falling' very specifically. And you can't double jump if you are falling, so you HAVE to make sure you hit jump again quickly when moving between those cages or else you'll just fall and drown.

Yay. I am super smart.

EDIT: And then I beat the game.

I think that jump was the hardest part of the whole game.

Having played the PS2 port, I concur.
