I found an even better score in, "White Beam 3". Can anyone find or get close to it? It's fun searching for highscores to beat for optimization purposes.
EDIT: I also matched Nelson's score of 28 in Colors Challenge 100.
Hope everyone has a wonderful, safe, relaxing and enjoyable Christmas and New Year's holiday this year of 2024. Take care guys. Have fun and eat with your families and friends. I hope we get some snow this time.
Hey Jola, you should try SimonM's global pack. It features all the accepted and official levels. Over a 15 year period. So join us on this solving journey. It's up to you, and anyone else can hop in too. It's never too late for action-cutting fun solving puzzles and optimizing scores.
Something amazing happened to me just now. I got the same score as Nelson in "Green-Yellow 6". It's really easy getting a score below 50. Fun level for people of all ages to play.
EDIT: Also, I found a newer solution in "Edit Symbol." 21 moves
Well I changed my mind, I'll still play games and keep doing what I'm doing here, I just won't be active as I used to. It's time for me to do different things and get my self-esteem up. I've been cooped up indoors for about 12 years ever since my health issues have progressed. I'll explain more about it later.
Hi guys, I got my Playstation 5 delivered Monday afternoon, I'm gonna set it up this weekend so I'll be sidetracked and inactive for a while. However I'll still post on my phone/laptop and check in but I'm not doing any games, I need a break. I'm happy to say that I'm making progress, I've got 1,306 levels to go. I commented on some if you want to know which ones I've recently solved.
However I need a hint for these levels, I think Jos is a brilliant level designer with these secret tricks. Minimized and Missing Block
Don't know how he does it, and you guys are amazing too at your levels, it's what makes Blockoban a fun and interesting place. Take care guys and enjoy the holidays and Christmas cheer.
Ok Ryan, scores are reset and your level is accepted.
Note: it wasn't necessary to change the design of the level (only the border) and the puzzle can be solved without the white icy. Anyway, I give you 5/5 for your first level.
Ok, done. The scores will have to be reset because I added an icy block to help the blocks. It is a crucial part in solving the level. So, here is my fixed version of "Trapped Inside".
Happy to welcome you Ryan! Thanks for your first submission.
Your first level is fine and fun to play. I have no remark on the level itself, only a cosmetic detail to be improved: the thick border doesn't look very nice and should be reduced. Please do it, then retake the thumbnail.
Welcome to the BB club Ryan, you'll find many levels here to be fun and pleasant and can help you practice to improve your solving skills here. So, have fun and try to get the lowest scores possible.
I'll let you guys know if I get anymore highscores so you all can improve your scores too, just for fun. We all have to do something fun in Blockoban to keep it going. Wow, this game is almost 17 years old. The very first post made here was 16 years ago. I can't believe it.
Another challenge, I scored a 9 on "Coke Can 7". Can anyone match my score? Here's a hint, one of the white icy blocks can be useful for the red blocks.
New challenge guys. I posted a score of 10 on Chris3000's level called, "Red Square II". Can you find and match my score, I don't think 9 moves would be possible there. But maybe someone can prove me wrong.
Also, there is still a score not shown on Block Travel 7.3. Is this level possible or not? I worked on it for an hour and found no solution.
- The game board changed to bold - Added undo function/button - The outline can be customized with RGB color picker. Monochromatically. but not supposed an image background
Now, I just need to get the explanation, and then, the latest version will be finished.
@chris - You are creating a lot of different sets of levels with more than 10 levels in them. I wonder if packs would be useful or necessary for each of these series to organise them. Also, I'm confused why some of these levels have seemingly unrelated A, B and so on versions. I assumed that A and B would be similar, but for example with Red-White 36A, Red-White 36B and Red-White 36C , I struggle to see the similarities, particularly with C.
not an error/a glitch in GGB, but the issue is that no features, suck: the ability to upload image files to surface is there, but there is no function for line; can only Monochromatic line
- Now it looks like it's noticeable, these 19 colors were world-themed colors anyway. I'll leave it like this (18). - Can't add animation effects, but white background and bold outline. I made the empty space not look like a white hexagon. - No way to make textured background - The points are used for the first version, maximum size, no bolder. - the empty looked like a white hexagon, but it's gone now, so please suggest consistent guidelines. I wish it was simpler - I did it, managed to create an undo function that allows you to save "from start to end" data as an array. I made it so that when you go back to where you came from, you are sent back to where you were before. no need Button, right
Hey guys I have completed over 10,000 levels here. Wow, I can't believe it. Check my profile and take a look for yourself. I'll post a screenshot in Discord.
I really love the idea suhangha, even though I'll probably never be able to solve it! Although, I feel like the changes you made are now unnecessarily confusing. I didn't think there was anything wrong with the first version apart from the colours being difficult to distinguish. I do have a few suggestions of my own which I hope might help:
- I might be completely wrong, but I feel like there must be 19 colours that can be easily distinguished from one another? The very pale and neutral colour palette doesn't help much.
- Have you thought about changing the background from bright green to something a bit more easy on the eyes that makes the hexagon colours stand out more? Maybe a pattern similar to that of Jellify, something simple with some slight movement that makes the puzzle seem dynamic? Or if you wanted to stick with a block colour background, maybe give the puzzle some kind of border to draw attention to the puzzle itself?
- Expanding on my previous point, your game reminds me of a wooden tabletop decorative puzzle we used to have at my old house. So I was thinking, if it wouldn't be too difficult to design and incorporate, maybe some kind of wood patterned border around the entire puzzle could look quite nice? Maybe even giving the hexagon pieces a subtle wood or metallic effect could complement the border nicely too?
- I think the design of version 1 was much better than version 2 as it was a lot easier to understand. I would suggest reverting back to version 1 but maybe increase the size of the inner circles slightly and increase the thickness of the black outline very slightly as I think this could make the colours (or patterns) you eventually decide on stand out more.
I do have a couple more suggestions but they wouldn't fit in this post so I'll attach the rest in a Google Doc. I look forward to seeing the final polished version suhangha. :D
It's a nice take on a puzzle, but the huge amount of colours and unclear demarcations make it really hard to figure out which colour is which. I strongly suggest to add symbols as soon as your amount of colours exceed 7.
Only puzzle games on BL are BB 1 & 2, PI, and Jellify. People may want a different challenge.
This is My First script puzzle. Anyone who wants to challenge the puzzle? it generates a random puzzle.
If your browser isn't working, try using Mobile Chrome. I think GeoGebra was made specifically for mobile. And you have to wait until the shuffle is generated. See the description in app. Quoting suhangha from Return Mod plex
I finally finished making the puzzle!!! The shuffling function was implemented using the for-statement. Thus, parity was resolved. I figured out how to use Global JavaScript: the place for instance fields / methods, not that local ggbOnInit() means when first launches in-app.
EDIT: I also matched Nelson's score of 28 in Colors Challenge 100.
