Imbellus experience: Failed two parts of the tower defense; do I still have a chance?

So I did successfully completed the Ecosystem challenge. When it comes to the Tower Defense part, I managed to complete the first round after 15 turns but not long. Then, I somehow thought that the 12 mins are for all 3 rounds and I already spent 11 mins on the first one, so I rushed through my second turn in around 3 mins, failing in the 6th turn. However, after realizing my mistake, I cruised past the last turn and I actually fend off all the invaders for the third one. Will my application still be considered for interview?

Something similar happened to me as well, and I passed it.

and I know a lot of people who screwed up in all of the 3 turns and still managed to pass!

Luckily in this game, the way you played (e.g. strategy of defender positioning) is as important as your results. so don't worry and best of luck

Thanks! That's great to hear! If you don't mind me asking, when you heard back from them, did it explicitly say you passed it? Or is it just an invitation to the interview round?

yeah sure no problem! It took a few weeks to hear back (but for most its a week or 2 at max) and you get the invitation to the first round directly as I remember

so, did you hear back?

Hi there,

I helped candidates that did fail one of the rounds before turn 15 and passed. The game measures both the results and your process to get there.

Answering your question on the timeline: you should hear back within 2 weeks (although sometimes it takes longer – I helped a candidate who was notified after 2 months and he was successful) and if you passed you will move to the 1st round.

Best,

Francesco

Hi there,

Anonymous B said it best. Not only is the way in which you play very important, but it is increasingly becoming an AND in terms of candidate evaluation, not a stage-gate in-and-of-itself.

Fingers crossed for you!

Appreciate the tip, Ian! At least I can calm down now after reading these comments. Thanks!
