Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  I emailed jp about that yesterday, and he said that the server was down.

  The service was unavailable to me yesterday. Was that global ?? I now getting once in a while an IOError 2032 when saving levels.

  please!!! tell me if you like my Level!!!
And look all my flog pictures (the link page is on my Profile)

  "Editor Menu", level 81, Hint: The top white block isn't needed nor is the sticky pad. d%)

  this whole game (blockoban) is about "concept". if you understand the concept then you can solve any puzzle here.
think about how the peices move and more importantly where they are alowed to move. build bridges, build walls, it has everything to do with right angles. Good luck!

Mark your calendars.... I just beat a cheese9 score!
Sorry buddy but I’ve been chasing your numbers for far too long to pass this momentous occasion up. (Remember folks, it might not happen again for a long time but relish in the defeat of today!) "Here I come baby, comin’ to getcha" {jimi hendrix - foxy lady}

  8-4-08 @ 0219!!!!! Man, i thought it was never going to end! Just Kidding. Great Game!

  Yes they will, Monster.

  Question .... If i redo levels more efficiently, will my score("moves") drop?

  There are a few levels added from time to time but not always official. Being an official is more and more difficult as it has to be different from other official levels.

  When there will be new official levels? :D ... noone make new levels anymore? :(

  There is already a highscore by level, click on the "Highscores" tab below the level name, near the "Comments" tab.

[edit] you beat me Asforien.

  When you select a level, the comments and highscore tabs will appear on the right of this area.

[edit] ehehe I was planning to reply for a while but I was doing some other stuff before this...

  Would it be possible to see a highscore per level ??
I see Cheese9 did it in half the moves than me and I wonder where I lost my points ??

  Playing full screen doesn't work for me ;'(

  Hi,
does anybody has a hint for the right part in Spark Mirror ?

[edit jp]This has been replied in the level comments itself.

  Tehg ame is designed for a size of 500x500. You can play it fullscreen by using the direct swf ( http://www.bonuslevel.org/guploads/blapi.swf?gid=4 )
But on this url you will not be able to post comments and look at the highscores.

  I found that when the map is large,the tile is too small,how can I play this game fullscreen?

  I've noticed that the selection tool is only available until you select any other tool while creating a level.

  When I started playing Blockoban, it was hard, but after getting in the mindset of it, the difficulty becomes throughly enjoyable.

  Yes I saw this, we lack starting levels. It's almost the same problem with RT IMO because after tuto level it becomes quite hard.

For BLockoban, maybe an infinite undo function would be nice.

  Almost everyone on newgrounds seems to think the levels are too hard... Probably the level ordering isn't very appropriate and we lack some starting levels? Also I think some of the more massive official levels are just tedious and don't really involve much puzzle-solving. Really gets irritating when you make two wrong moves and have to redo the whole thing.

  Yes, Climbing wall was supposed to have only one solution, but I failed to see that there was more than the one I had in mind. Unfortunately that made it a bit easier.

  Yep interestingnew levels.
That's interesting to notice that we have very few hard levels. I wonder if it is possible to make such levels. I don't mean long level (number of moves) I mean short, elegant and difficult. The new "Climbing wall" level was an interesting idea but it turned to be not as hard as expected.

[edit] @Asforien, yep I've released this morning a 88 level version on a couple of sites (pepere.org, newgrounsd etc...). It got a nice rating on ng 3.5 but it will not be enough to get many hits there.

  It's nice to see some cool new levels lately. Keep up the good work guys!

  I was thinking about cracked wall instead of cracked blocks. But you're right, this is different but pretty similar to ice blocks. I'm not sure if this would open the door to many new kind of levels.

  Cracked blocks would be nice, I've thought of them before too. But I'm not sure how similar they would be to the icy blocks we have now.

  What you said about numbers gave me an idea! Mobile hit bombs: hit them too many times and everything in it's range is gone, strategic placement on the last hit could make interesting levels.

  Friend, I was thinking of something like this, but where the block had a number on it, corresponding to how many impacts it could take before disappearing. I don't know how it would change the mechanics, but I thought it would be cool.

  You could make cracked blocks, they could hit walls and blocks without anything special happening, but if you tried to use it as a support, it would smash. BLocks could come previously cracked or there could be special ways to crack them.
