Topic, Game "BLockoban"

  welcome back omr hope the move went well

  omr is back.

  Roger that OMR. Best wishes for a problem-free move and see ya when you get back :)

  I'm moving. So probably I can't be on-line for a couple of days. The packs will be up-dated when I back. As soon as possible, I hope. Please don't create to many levels in the meantime. (jk)

  I believe u are referring to Mysterious Orb S. In my opinion, Kids levels are not just the ones that you are not allowed to make any mistake, after all you always have the option to retry (and for a kid this is its second nature). I believe they are also the levels that do not need more than 1-2 moves thinking ahead and are pretty simple to understand. In that sense, I agree the level may be impossible with one wrong move, yet kids are able to understand this type of error (referring to the white block).

  This level is not kids. Just a wrong move and you are in impossible position to complete it. One needs to figure the solution from the very beginning.

  Thank you very much magnacumlaud :). I do my best to create ~10-15 levels a day.

  @Camo
what a creative guy, thanks a lot for the fun

  Ah, thanks OMR. :) I got around it by adding a 1 to the title.

  Yup. Rejected. Here it is: Islander (BLockoban)

  Can anybody explain to me why the level title of "Islander" is not usable? The game says it's in use but a quick search of "Islander" produces no levels. Is it a rejected level or something?

  Thanks guys! I'm glad to be back.

  Welcome back Chris, I hope you enjoy the new levels!

  Hey Chris! I was just seeing the "gone for 8 months" thing under your name yesterday lol. Glad to have you back!

  Wow, 7000 levels. I'm back guys.

  haha, now i feel pretty stupid :P
Thanks I'll try to work on the level :)

  Yes, what Mo said. Look at the scores kiethy :)

  Pretty simple really, kiethy. It is doable in less than 10 moves.

  Does anyone know whether this: UNDONE (BLockoban) is possible? I'm not that great at blockoban so there's probably some simple solution that I've missed. If anyone can help, that would be great. :)

  PSA: Hey guys. With the massive volume and variety of levels I've been pumping out recently, many of the levels are getting difficult to properly categorize. If any of you find one of mine that you think is improperly categorized, just let me know so I can change it. The sooner the better for OMR's difficulty packs.

Thanks! CD out.

  If it were Blue cheese it would stink!

So Brie.ng it on!
I'd Stil.ton like to see a designer award.
Hav art i.t

  My first thought was to name the award after the legendary designer (and top player) of the first generation cheese9. But probably Cheese Award isn't that great idea.

  Being as it was my idea I fully agree that a designer award is in order. You have created a lot of wonderful levels Camo, that cover the whole spectrum of the game. I especially like that you created kids levels as a teaching tool for your sister a couple of years ago. Yet you have also designed some really difficult levels. We need designers like you. Murat levels are a challenge not for the feint hearted. I have a better a better name for the award; CAMURAT.
I am opening this up to a round table discussion.haha

  Only jp can make such special awards for creating levels, official levels and this stuff.
Unfortunately, he's being really inactive at BL, he's focusing on mobile games.

  *BUMP* to the question of the designer award. Tbh I think it would definitely be nice--as an avid designer I can tell you that I spend most of my time designing, not playing, levels. Despite the fact that I have a ridiculous number of created levels in this game I think I've completed only around 1400 (this is actually not too many more than the number I've created lol). Any time one spends designing is directly subtracted from time one could've spent playing, yet there are no rewards other than comments and ratings (which, as I always say, are fairly scarce these days) for designers. I think an award for some # of levels accepted would be good, and could possibly encourage more people to design levels.

I don't really care what the award is called. I think naming it after the legendary murat would be a great gesture towards a great player but whether or not we name this award after a famous user is less important to me as it being created.

  Haha, thanks a lot OMR. I've been gunning for a certain milestone of mine for the past week or so and I'm glad to hear that the quality of my levels hasn't decreased in proportion to the quantity. The game and the community are both great and I'm glad that I can be of service.

  Camo, you asked for a feedback. Well, here it is: I love most of your level. They are brillant. They have the beauty of old Greek statues. I don't know how you find new ideas on clssic BB themes. Most of them desereve a 5/5. I can not understand how someone can rate a kids-level 3/5. Kids levels have to be simmple. And it's not that simple to make a simple level, you low-brow! And I think to speak in the name of the whole community when I say thank you so much for all the fun you're giving us with the bunch of levels you made in the last days.

PS Please don't blush. These is a sincerely appreciation and you deserve it.

  Incoming levelflood. In addition to the 6 or so that OMG just accepted, I have another 27 in the tubes. Sorry for my sporadic designing everyone. ;)

As always, comments, rates and suggestions appreciated.

  2499 easy levels for now. So the next one will be 2500. Who will do it?

  I agree that Murat has influenced the game a lot, but I won't vote on having a level designer award because I may be a bit biased :P

As far as naming an award after a user I figure it's ok provided that the user is notorious for what the award is earned for. For example, Murat is known for making insanely difficult levels (usually), so an award named after him would make more sense if it was something like "make 100 hard levels". Not that I think that "make 100 hard levels" is a particularly good award.
