Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  Try to beat 39 :)

  Good luck John!

  @John: nice score at level Pink B (BLockoban). Now, beat 41 :)

  I just saw it myself. That's going to be a hard one to beat, unless someone can get 47 or less. We will see, there maybe a possibility of someone beating your score/method.

  Sorry for double-post, but I just discovered a super HS in "Pink B". Got a new solution of 48...

@nelson90: I beat you...

  I am hoping to solve 5000 levels before the year ends. I need to keep it at a steady pace though. We need to be thankful for what we have here. A nice dependable admin and a small supportive network of people from around the globe. Happy April Fool's day too. Chris has really contributed to the game a lot the past 3 years, and so have you guys.

  Following a request from Chris, I changed the name of his levels "Blue and Green (1 to 7)" to "Blue-Green (1 to 7)".

  Hey nelson90, I corrected my "Ancient Colors 14" level, sorry again. I've been worried about me and my mom's health and she had her third round of chemotherapy yesterday at 9am, and lasted 6-7 hours. She had a severe reaction to the IV and they had to give her some minerals to help get her stabilized to where she could talk and move around.

  Don't be sorry Chris! Thanks for fixing your level, it is accepted now.

  Sorry nelson90, I'll fix my level now. I just read your PM. Thanks for the heads-up.

  @John: work done! Now, you have to beat 41 :)

edit: and now 36 :D

  @nelson90: You have some work to do in the level, "Red Tetris I", after 30 minutes I was able to optimize and discover a new solution, 42. See if you can match it or maybe get a better score. That was a random moment, didn't think I had it in me.

  I wonder when TM will be defeated, I predict that either nelson90 or suhangha will reign first place. The question is when and how.

  3333 levels solved, I'm barreling my way towards the 5000 mark! Hopefully by April or May I'll reach this goal. Wish me the best, positive energy.

  @nelson90: Also I noticed when I was playing Chris's, Lemonade 3 level, you had not scored on it. It doesn't look really hard.

  Well done, John! It's always difficult to know when you have reached the optimum score. I have tried again those levels and effectively they were not fully optimized. Now, it's your turn to play :)

  This is a rarity. I got two highscores, one in "RB Crate 3" and the other, "Red-White 46A." I'm speechless and shocked, I took 2 of Nelson's highscores.

@nelson90: I'll fix my Hospital 2 level asap. I keep seeing it in my "Levels you need to edit" bar thing.

  Yes, that's fine Nelson. You can change the name to "Snow Colors 29."

Let me know when you do, thank you. We will keep you all posted on how my mom is doing. She's having chemotherapy now, it's a 5-6 hour process. She has to bring snacks and drinks too.

  Thanks John, I had not noticed that mistake. I know Chris is affected by his mother’s health issues. Btw, all my best wishes for your mother Chris, I hope she’ll get better soon.

Regarding level "Snow Colors 29C": since Chris submitted today a level named "Snow Colors 30" (still to be evaluated), I would suggest to rename it "Snow Colors 29" instead of "29C". Chris, if you agree, I will do it for you.

You are right, level "White Cybes" was misspelled (Simon had already noticed it 6 years ago). The title is corrected now.

  @nelson90: Hey I just noticed on the main BL page that Chris accidentily titled his last published level, "Snow Colors 29C."

I think he meant, "Snow Colors 28C." You might want to fix that. And also, an old level from several years back. He misspelled White Cubes. It's titled White Cybes. I'll post on it. Let me know if you read this.

  Welcome back pig to making Blockoban levels. I'm interested to see what beautiful creations you have in store for us, hope you are having a great 2025 so far. Take care. I gotta try them tonight.

Would you like to be a part of Simon's global tournament pack? You'll find it on the bottom of his page.

  Hey John! Thank you for pointing this out, I forgot to solve this nice level. Excellent design and many possibilities for optimization. After many attempts, I finally got 34 :) Indeed a great 5/5!

  Hey @nelson90: I was going through some old levels from 2022 and noticed you did not score on, "Blue Spiral" yet, give it a go and see if you can get a 36 score or better. The design is still remarkable to me, took 3-4 hours making it.

  Well done PuzzleFan, you should feel good and proud about that achievement. I know I was when I first hit that mark in the game.

  I just completed my 1,000th level here. Next goal: 2,000. How are you all coming along with the game? Chris has made a lot of superb, fun challenges over the past 3 years.

  On my way to 1000, picked up a nice highscore on Colors Challenge 144 (BLockoban). I wanted to highlight this one particularly because I reckon this has a lot more in it and this type of level is my favourite as there's many solutions and optimisation to be found! Very fun one Chris, good luck to anyone who tries to beat my score!

  Yes, that's the best way to go. Being slow and steady is the best strategy for winning. Good luck to you!

  I know, I don't play this game often so I'll likely just slowly get closer and closer until I pass 1000!

  Wow CG52, you're not too far from solving 1000 levels here. I have plenty of kids and easy levels for you to try. If you have the time and motivation to do them. But of course, it's up to you.

  Soon enough, we'll be at 12,000 total levels before 2026. The way things are going, I guess YGG4 is taking a hiatus break again. He'll probably be back around Christmas or Thanksgiving of this year. It's too bad we couldn't get that 250th official here.
