I remember one of Suhangha's best series here back in 2019. The Lightly Prairie series. It consists of farm/prairie levels with superb design. Most of them are kids and easy levels, they are fun for everyone in all ages, and good for an optimization challenge. I have cracked some good highscores there if anyone wants a challenge!
I am making so many levels here now that I will most likely surpass CD's flood/wave of levels that were created here.
Hi Chris, I think this kind of competition exists since the creation of BL site (and for me since I joined in 2008). A lot of players have always had in mind to reach the best score, and that lead to fantastic battles in the past. Unfortunately, there are now not many challengers left. However, I agree to start having a competition with you.
Btw, it's an excellent idea to stop focusing on solving every level. Personally, I still have about 1300 unresolved levels and that does not make me unhappy, on the contrary.
Hey, would anyone like to start having a competition with me, instead of focusing on solving every level, maybe I can post on the level that I get a really good score on and see if you guys can beat it. If I have time in the future, I may make a few packs for it. But, we'll see.
So, what do you say? There are over 10,000 levels. I'm sure there is somewhere where we can improve our score. Optimization is one of the keys of Blockoban.
I wonder when Syco is coming back. I played some of his levels today. I like his Vector series, it has a series of unique tasks/challenges that gives the pros an even more challenge of optimization.
So Blockoban community, how have I been doing with my levels the past 6-7 years, I'm headed towards 1200 total, almost half of CD. The way I'm going I'll probably pass his milestone record in 2-3 years maybe. So by 2026-2027 this may happen.
@magic7: I self-reviewed inspiration levels I spied, my levels are more challenging than previous designers, else contains ridiculously not challenging
Unfortunately, for about one year it is no longer possible to post comments on new levels. If you post a comment, it won't be registered. This bug is really annoying, because comments related to a level will be spread in the BB forum and it will be impossible to find then after a while. The same problem affects the inbox of new members (like john96 and PuzzleFan), PMs are not accepted and the inbox shows the same error message "Unknown subject ()!".
Glad that I finished making those levels I spied Coolguy52 & SimonM, But the last level of designer union was most shamefully designed, still kepe gonna from 197: extra modern Newly Updated
Dcoco is back, I helped him find the link to Pale Moon and he downloaded it, check his logs. Maybe the rest of the gang will return soon too, Blockoban has been missing a huge portion of it's community for several years.
@suhangha: your levels 191 and 192 seem extremely hard. Indeed, they require more than 100 moves, but I don't think they are boring. I have accepted them since you have proven that they are possible. Let's see what the other players will think of them.
There are few Japanese and people like (otaku?) are not right with Heian Ages so just took a korean designer, BL users are almost Europeans
four levels of "Heian Age" are in the process of being titled, two levels (both levels I spied from wouter) of "Fairytale Forest" reached over than 144 moves so far. I scored 200 moves for level 192 but pretty great solution as i said, "145 to up" is too boring to accept, however, level 192 solution contains linked block swap technic and linked block Intercept technic
@nelson: Could you judge it?
The following of "Fairytale Forest" is "Modern Day"
Hey all, I gave up because there seemed to be no chinese designers, but since I found one of great japanese designer, I think it will be fine. Created KFW and SC 8 levels ASAP and I will do asap in the future too. btw, it looks like the new MD levels will come earlier than MD24 edits.
Well, that's bad. I wish you the best of luck with your career whatever you choose to do with your life. I think you're so smart you'll be able to run your own business.
