  I really love the idea suhangha, even though I'll probably never be able to solve it! Although, I feel like the changes you made are now unnecessarily confusing. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the first version apart from the colours being difficult to distinguish. I do have a few suggestions of my own which I hope might help:

- I might be completely wrong, but I feel like there must be 19 colours that can be easily distinguished from one another? The very pale and neutral colour palette doesn't help much.

- Have you thought about changing the background from bright green to something a bit more easy on the eyes that makes the hexagon colours stand out more? Maybe a pattern similar to that of Jellify, something simple with some slight movement that makes the puzzle seem dynamic? Or if you wanted to stick with a block colour background, maybe give the puzzle some kind of border to draw attention to the puzzle itself?

- Expanding on my previous point, your game reminds me of a wooden tabletop decorative puzzle we used to have at my old house. So I was thinking, if it wouldn't be too difficult to design and incorporate, maybe some kind of wood patterned border around the entire puzzle could look quite nice? Maybe even giving the hexagon pieces a subtle wood or metallic effect could complement the border nicely too?

- I think the design of version 1 was much better than version 2 as it was a lot easier to understand. I would suggest reverting back to version 1 but maybe increase the size of the inner circles slightly and increase the thickness of the black outline very slightly as I think this could make the colours (or patterns) you eventually decide on stand out more.

I do have a couple more suggestions but they wouldn't fit in this post so I'll attach the rest in a Google Doc. I look forward to seeing the final polished version suhangha. :D

  I've made a new version based on your feedback. It is very difficult to create symbols or patterns. I took symbols as Sub-colored Circle and Ring.

New version, looks easy to match, but visually confusing.
Old version, playable visually natural, but colors are hard to distinguish.

I will keep both alive

  I finally completed with 86 moves as my best.
but I ruined the results by a little undo.
It could have been a better score. Thanks for feedback

  It's a nice take on a puzzle, but the huge amount of colours and unclear demarcations make it really hard to figure out which colour is which. I strongly suggest to add symbols as soon as your amount of colours exceed 7.

  Only puzzle games on BL are BB 1 & 2, PI, and Jellify.
People may want a different challenge.

This is My First script puzzle.
Anyone who wants to challenge the puzzle?
it generates a random puzzle.

If your browser isn't working, try using Mobile Chrome.
I think GeoGebra was made specifically for mobile.
And you have to wait until the shuffle is generated.
See the description in app.

  Excellent work John, keep it up and you'll reach 5,000 levels and get that other award, "The Mile High" one.

  2000 levels solved for this game, hooray!

:)

  Wow, congratulaions Simon for solving over 10,000 levels. I don't think no one has reached that milestone yet. See dcoco only focuses on mostly the hard levels, he could have beaten every single level, but he didn't. I'm hoping to work hard and reach 10k before 2025 begins. Nelson has solved almost 9,800 levels, so he may be second in line, 3rd for me possibly.

  My guess is that no new topics can be created, so no new level comment sections can exist.

  Hey nelson, I got the same score as you in "Pink Plus 6". It took me four tries but I somehow found the trick you did.

It's still weird why we can't post on the levels that are less than a year old, I don't know if it's a database error or some other type of glitch.

  Hey everyone, I really hate to bring this up again. I currently have almost 1,400 levels left in my unplayed box. It would be nice if I could solve all the easy/medium levels remaining. Whoever is still playing this game I would appreciate a couple hints in a PM, for the levels I post on. Now there's 500-600 that I'm not solving and their in the hard category. Dcoco is an expert at those, but I'm sure he won't remember how he solved them.

I am worn out from spending so much time on these 1400 levels and still getting NOWHERE! I mean I spent three full years on each. Others have been able to master and solve them, but not me.

Maybe for now I should focus on improving all my scores on the kids/easy levels, and when I get older hopefully I'll be ready to tackle the rest of the levels I have not solved yet.

  Cool, I can't wait to see the series you have made! Nelson has done a great jon the past 2 years with his responsibilities here, since oldmtnguy died and Elizea stepped away due to being busy and inactive.

  my new pi&bb2 levels are both my first difficult monochromatic maps each game. maybe. blocks are CuBerry shapes and crimson color -
little while ago, I finished the final edit and ready to evaluate(pi&bb2), but still no news, I think the season has come now, please evaluate this. then both universal linear series are done, phew!

BTW:
I am in the process of learning and developing for andriod.
It's not economically good here, my house will be moved soon. I miss my hometown, bye!

  Well, we'll have to enjoy on what's been provided for us, and GIS said himself that it's pointless to add anymore officials, so it is what it is. It's been a long journey with this game, and I've enjoyed every waking moment of it and it's nice awesome community.
Coolguy52 1 year ago
  There would likely only have ever been a 250th official if it was really special, a final level to mark the peak of what this community could achieve. Picking out such a level is already really hard, it's also pointless due to the aforementioned lack of members.
chris3000 1 year ago
  You're welcome.

Lol, I know, so far I've solved about 9,600 levels total, including the official ones. I guess we won't get anymore officials as many older and popular members have left this game.

  Thank you Chris for the kind words, :)

Wow, before long you will have solved 10,000 levels for this game. That's impressive work!

  No problem Chris, I finished evaluating all your levels and I am waiting for the next flood :)
chris3000 1 year ago
  Hey everyone, I started something new this week, I'm gonna focus on reducing my scores on all old and new levels before completing the unfinished ones in my unplayed tab. I only solve the newest levels that are no more than a year old.

So, what do you say, I posted on some old levels for a HS fight, it would be fun to do since the community has been cut 60-70%. I'll miss the BB freaks. Murat for one!

Sorry Nelson for the level flood, you don't have to rush evaluating them, maybe have it done by the end of next week.

If you guys see my post on an old level, you'll know I improved greatly.

  Great job PF on achieving that award, :)

  Good work PuzzleFan, all your levels are now accepted.

Congratulations for your award !
PuzzleFan 1 year ago
  Hey nelson, I'm submitting a few levels this morning, let me know if you saw and evaluated them, it took me quite some time to get the designs and challenges right, plus making sure each thumbnail was a perfect square.

EDIT: I just got the award for completing 500 levels! Hooray.
chris3000 1 year ago
  Keep it up, and always focus on doing the kids and easy levels. They will give you extra tricks and moves that you can use to solve the harder levels. You can do it! We have faith in you.
PuzzleFan 1 year ago
  I'm almost at 500 levels guys, I've been working hard these past 2 days.
chris3000 1 year ago
  I haven't seen you post here in a while PF, how's it been going for you? You having a great year so far?
PuzzleFan 1 year ago
  I hate to point this out, but I cracked a Highscore in "Coke Can 6", I got 22.

  Hello everyone, I am back home after a 7 day stay in the Emergency Room. I had a blood vessel rupture on my left ankle and it stung and burned, I finally returned home last night at almost 10pm. So I'm glad to be back. I'll explain more later of what happened when I have some extra time to spare.

  I scored on 108 Dozenal Hexign (BLockoban).
nelson90 1 year ago
  I have found 6 levels without score: Block Travel 7.3 (BLockoban), Block Travel 7.4 (BLockoban), Block Travel 7.8 (BLockoban), Block Travel 7.9 (BLockoban), 107 Royal Sinkhole (BLockoban) and 108 Dozenal Hexign (BLockoban).

Chris, I agree with you on the fact that every level should be possible, and when I cannot solve a level I always ask the creator to score on it. Regarding these 6 levels, don't forget that it was you who accepted them :)

Suhangha, I already asked you to prove that your levels are possible. Please do it, otherwise I will be obliged to set them to be edited.

  sound on / off added (burfy's feedback).
16 official levels now. All levels are great. I must say I'm a big fan of Psychotronic's levels (thx Psycho). When a level is "only" accepted, it doesn't mean it will not be official one day, it's just I'm not sure for now.
