Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  Hey elizea or other admins dunno if any of you are active, i redid one of my very very old rejected levels I think it is quite good if you wouldn't mind taking a look at it?

  EXCELLENT LEVELS LAST NIGHT! thanks again blockoban creators, this game gets better every day = )!

  it isnt that great of a level but ihad fun solving it lol.

  Elisea! Apparently my question before was deleted, so maybe you "didn't notice", but I didn't get an answer. May I ask, what is the reason of rejection this time for the level Hard To Amuse (BLockoban) ?

[edit elizea]: I PMd about this already, check your inbox

  You people are killing me with those hard levels, but that's ok. It's taking too long to get that award.

  It usually happens to me in single block moves, but it might have with one block attached to a group as well; will have to watch for that.

  Mo, did you do it with a group? :\

  Here you can see the video, by Bruno-heey (obviously).

  I've tried that a few times, Im, and it does kinda make the highlighted block stick on the highlight but for me it gets unstuck and it has never made the screen go blank and game crash like in dy's pic.

Maybeh dat?

  it happened to me when i moved normally too. It was my second move.

  It happens to me pretty often while just moving a block normally, but most often when moving the mouse very quickly in any particular direction while releasing. Never seen it in conjunction with RETRY but that's possible as well.

Edit: Now that I think of it, it might be happening when you try to move a block while another one is still in motion (but I am pretty sure it happens at other times also). Will try see what can make it happen again.

  That was already reported a long time ago...

  well.. why doing it in the first place? o.o

  when you hold a block in a group and the you klick the RETRY button in the game (you must all time hold the group block)

  When does it happen ?

  That glitch has been happening to me alot on here for months now. Nothing seems to get it unstuck except for reloading the website.

  I thought garygoh discovered it first

  This really weird glich just happened to me...

  Me too.. but there's many people that plays BB which isn't kids.

But...I am a kid...

  I was totally unaware of the complexity and the overall impact on other games. Forgive my ignorance. I just thought it would help things out but if we can't then we just have to live with it and move on. Second best solution in my mind is what Jos suggests. I cannot ignore the category but from now on i will give a bit less weight on the overall rating thus not seriously affecting the outcome. Hope Oldmanrob agrees with it.

  You also have to understand the same API is used in the other games, which do not have categorys. Adding here voting for difficulty would force us to use it in other games too.

  Ok., I am convinced that the place under the rating maybe can be used to give a vote for another category, although you also can write it down in the level comments (what I do and yes,... it doesn't always have an effect). But I stick to it that the category can have only a very little influence to your rating.
All in I can understand your point.

  This has been a long debate Elizea and we ve echanged some msgs ourselves for that. I would have to agree with oldmanrob (although i am trying hard to follow your instructions). One main factor of the rating has to be the Level. And let me explain myself... What if the first official level was called Hard? There is no originality nor fun in this level. However, because it is a kids level you definitely categorize it as original (in that it introduces basic steps and it is surely fun for the intended target group ---kids). Same applies to easy levels and so on. The fact that you may change the level category yourself is a huge deal as players may also change their rating (like oldmanrob) and bring the balance to both the game and the players. I still believe players should also be able to vote for the category themselves (like rating) which will bring more balance to it. In any case we are all having fun and it is productive for the game to exchange ideas to improve it. No matter HOW we vote i believe we are all grateful to ALL the designers who spend considerable time and effort to give us fun and pleasure... In that sense they all get 5/5 if you ask me. Thnx

  The level category is a detail outside the level, I find. And are you maybe the person who did this: Rating a level 1/5 is unreasonable, certainly if it is because of a wrong category.

  First my apoligize to dingding22. Sorry, go on creating levels, 'cause it's that what we need. I will play each of them. With more or less pleasure. Second I removed my comment before Elizeas "I dont like to see..." and dingding22 answer as I regret my rudeness. Third the category is for me a criterion for my vote, beside originality and fun. After the changement of category also my vote has therefor changed from 1/5 to 3/5.

  I worked hard on this level and this is what I got :(

  Do NOT rate level down because of wrong category. It might not be designers fault, and he/she should not be punished for this. I don't like to see all those 'Hard???? 1/5!' messages on levels. Rate level by it's originality and how fun it is, not because of wrong category.

  wait a minute I think a level disappeared! wasn't there a ridiculous level up, was it unsolvable or something?
