I think part of the problem is that the ogre moves so slow while the torch moves so fast, it was very hard to judge how far you move from torch to torch.  The jump was very hard, and if I failed at it, I would have to take a long time to get back to that point because of how slow the ogre was."},{"author_name":"asotelo94","author_uid":"27357","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 3:56am","epoch":1398743460,"text":"Oh really scotty? that's odd.

Once the ogre spots you it will not stop chasing you, and because you have to stop to throw a torch that will only light one or two paces ahead of you, it becomes unwinnable.

But honestly, I think incorporating that into a 3D platformer (already a genre that's difficult to judge and control) didn't work out as well as I'd like.  I got disoriented pretty easily.
