Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  @nelson90: I matched your score in "Red Sword I". The solution just randomly popped up in my head. I found it rather quickly. I wonder if 22 or 23 is possible? It might not be though. And always check the scoreboards if you need proof.

EDIT: And I just now got 25 just like Simon did in "Red Sword II." Is 24 possible here? Probably not as I think we might have found the best possible solution for this level.

EDIT 2: Tied your highscore in Green Windmill 5. What a lovely level and challenge. It actually could have been in the easy category. But it's no point in changing it.

  @Chris: Don’t be sorry, I hadn’t noticed either. All titles are changed now.

  Yes, I'm sorry. I don't know how I missed that. Ok, that's fine. I agree. I'll pay more attention next time. Tri-Color would be better. Let me know when you change them.

EDIT: let's do 2 levels at a time via e-mail. I'm stuck in 2 of pig's levels which I only have left. The rest of his designs I already solved last winter 2024.

Pearl Escape and Awkward Rotation seem hard to me.

EDIT: for now I'll do 2 levels at a time and also try to improve all scores to the 11,000 levels that I've already completed.

  You are absolutely right Suhangha, thanks for pointing that out. The 9 first levels of the series were titled "TriColor Lvl 1-1" to "TriColor Lvl 1-9". Then the title changed to "Tri-Color Lvl", the first being numbered 1-6 and the others 2-1 to 2-10.

To make the titles consistent, I suggest renaming the Tricolor levels to Tri-Color. Since number 2-0 is missing, I would also rename "Tri-Color Lvl 1-6" to "Tri-Color Lvl 2-0".

Chris, do you agree with my proposal?

  Nelson, check please. Tri-color Series level titles are inconsistent. 2 levels in a cell: Tri-Color Lvl 2-0 (BLockoban), Tri-Color Lvl 1-6 (BLockoban)

  Today, it's working fine. Maybe the server was too busy this past weekend. But everything is fine now.

  My experience is the same as nelson's. Usually, everything loads instantly, but sometimes certain parts can load for minutes.

  For me, it’s very variable. Sometimes everything works correctly, but it also happens that the site responds very slowly (which is the case at the moment). It may take several minutes to display a level or save a score.

  Web leg spends a lot of minutes.
How about @nelson, simon and CG?

  @nelson90: is BL acting strange to you, now I can't make any levels because during the loading process, only 2 red squares light up. I'll have to show you a screenshot through an e-mail to better show you what I'm talking about.

Nvm, it took an extra 40 minutes until it started working okay. You don't think BL is reaching it's peak do you? And we haven't heard from JP in over a year. He would know how to fix it.

  The pack thumbnails have changed. After clearing the browser cache and restarting, the image will be updated.


Four packs for AltverZ:
Alternate UniverZ Linear (BLockoban 2)
Alternate UniverZ Matrix (BLockoban 2)
Universe It Linear (Puzzle It)
Universe It Matrix (Puzzle It)

Non-variable packs are acceptable:
Alternate UniverZ Linear (BLockoban 2)
Universe It Linear (Puzzle It)

  I also sometimes fail to connect, web server is weird (Climate change issue?).

  Hey, Idk what's wrong but it's taking 10-15 minutes for each level that I create to upload to the server. JP is not active so I can't PM him about it. And it's moving slow for some reason. I don't get it.

  Ok, it worked for me. I will keep this link in handy.

  @Chris: I experienced the same problem this morning, after the last update of Pale Moon. Thanks for contacting the hotline, glad to know that a Pale Moon developer is working on it.

Meanwhile, we can still play our favourite games, I found a way to fix the problem. You only have to install the last working Pale Moon version (v33.8.1). Here is a direct link to the download page:
Pale Moon 33.8.1

  I talked to the Pale Moon developer and they said their having issues with Plugins from a bunch of flash games, they will fix this issue soon with the next update.

I tried the other games too and they do the same thing, not loading.

  How about others?

  Something happened on my end, I can't play Blockoban now.

  OMG, I just solved my 4,000th level here. So, it took me almost 3 years to make this achievement. Now I have another 1000 to do and then I'll earn the Mile High award. It's worth a bunch of EXP points. Wish me positive vibes and good luck/energy.

@nelson90: how come you haven't made any levels? And patio09 only made 2 within a 15 year period.

  Cool new levels John, they look like they're amazing and in good quality for people to play and enjoy! Well done.

  @John: don’t worry, it doesn’t bother me at all to rename some levels, this is a very small part of my role as admin and I am always happy when I can help.

Since Murat has been inactive for 4 years and will certainly not create a sequel to "White Pyramid", I will change "The White Pyramid" to "White Pyramid 1". I will do the same for "Yellow Pyramid".

edit: done :)

  The announcement about CF but not that release has been made. If it goes well, I will subscribe to Puffin monthly and stream via Discord video call. mic & headset OFF. Chris says he is bad at playing PI and JELLIFY games and therefore lacks the skills to create game levels for them. Still, I'm going to try to make some new PI levels based on frame of the level he made. streaming that the making process on a guest. first, gonna open 10 levels UI 1.1 to 2.V, if well 15 levels 3.V

  @nelson90: Hey, I hate to ask you, but can you change my "The White Pyramid" level to "White Pyramid 1?" Same for "The Yellow Pyramid".

Nvm, I just searched in the Search Levels box and see that murat made a level called White Pyramid 15 years ago, back in 2010.

  Ok, thank you. I didn't know.

  @Chris: sorry, unfortunately I haven’t the power to know who gave such a bad rating.

  Hey, who rated my "Colors Challenge 209" level 1/5? @nelson90, can you pinpoint to who did it. I worked hard and spent a lot of time on that. Me and Simon scored on it.

  I wonder how Mo and the rest of the gang is doing? I'm sure they don't know about Pale Moon.

  I sent the login reset issue in puffin to feedback. I would like an update as soon as possible. Failed to save score on allowed travel 7.3 due to this issue. Was 37 moves. This level is pretty hard the first time you complete it, and it feels pretty sloppy-esay when you complete it again. I'm busy these days because Crimson Front is coming. Universe It Matrix series have to be recategorized, then released! puffin team, please.

It's valid for about 1&½ minutes after logging in, so I have to do it every time of saving scores, It's annoying. Puffin dev see this issue rightly, but his not witty.

I discovered a brilliant way from Iced Strawberry (BLockoban)! Using ball-push to trim A move

  I guess first off I need to improve on any level that I am 50+ moves below the best score. That's a start, then I'll try to tackle a level everyday if I can. Gotta get by brain working again though.

  I just give up for now, I have made progress. 1,110 levels remain for me to solve, however I will not be able to solve every single one. That would take me too much time. Time is valuable and of the essence now since my mom has ovarian cancer.

So, I'll have to just work on 2 levels at a time/per day or every other day instead of trying to slam 40-50 levels a week. That's rather excessive for me to handle.
