To give you an idea of how I rate them, I did Runnyeye 2 and I would rate that Easy to Moderate difficulty. |

Keep in mind when we say easy that doesn't mean that the entire zone will be easy. That means it should be the easiest to figure out the strategies. They should still be challenging and over time you will figure them out and you will see they are actually fun to run through. |
