<bpotetz> Wow - maybe Tom's latest rule changes were more far-reaching than I thought. It was surprising a bit when my pacman solution broke, but now I find that my solution to this level is broken as well. It's possible, I suppose, that there is just some corruption in my esp file, with all the editing I've done. It's hard to tell for sure, since escape won't let me view my own solution until I've "solved" it. Maybe I'll solve it again in a seperate esp file so I don't overwrite the trouble solution.
This is still a great level, BTW. |

<bpotetz> No problem, Max. I'm up & running again, and now Tom has something weird to debug. |

<bpotetz> Good one, and beautiful as always. Just one question, though: Why is the seaweed grey? |

<bpotetz> Thanks for the heads up on the new variation, BTW. That means I only had to solve it the red block way.
<bpotetz> Wow! I thought everyone had forgotten about Dimensional Trap 17. I've solved these, but recently I've been working offline for whatever reason. I'll upload my ratings so you can focus on DT17! I've suggested to Tom a way to sort by # of people who've solved a level, could be he'll do it. That way, you could find the levels that sort of slipped past everyone. Also, there are a few levels that only a couple people have played, but got really good ratings. Plus its fun to see how # solvers is correlated with difficulty.
Another one to work on is Too Many Lasers, which I haven't been able to figure out, and has only been played by the author. |

<mjn> ...much better.
Thanks to John Lewis's inquiry, here's an extra-hard version that requires you to use only reds for the connecting panels. |

<Doom> (SPOILER) Finished the level. It was a lot harder than the first version. Especially the lower left chamber gave me a lot trouble. This level is very cool because you can do many cool things in it. For example, it's possible to use some blocks in different rooms than in which they were in the beginning. I'm almost sure that there will be almost as many different solutions as there are people who completel this level.
<mjn> (SPOILER) Wow, it turns out it *is* possible to solve this using only reds for the connectors--it's a lot harder, too.
I shall post a variation tomorrow...
<mjn> (SPOILER) Yeah, man, I feel sorry for those levels with no ratings--I've been working on both Jumps v6 and Dimensional Trap 17, but no luck yet...
Warning: this may *really* be a spoiler.
The "intended" solution doesn't discriminate between red and yellow blocks, but I believe it might be possible to use only reds for the connecting panels. (It's definitely impossible to use only yellows for the connectors, semi-obviously.)
<John Lewis> (SPOILER) Has anyone been able to solve this yet? This is one of the few levels that hasn't been rated by anyone yet.
I spent a good amount of time looking at this level today and figured that the solution somehow involves starting at the bottom left room and working your way counterclockwise to the top left room. It's also possible to push the bottom green block in the top left room down one space and use a yellow block or two to fill up the panels connecting the two left rooms. Thus, the red blocks could be used in another room in some other way. I was just wondering - is it possible to use red blocks only to hold down the "connecting" panels? Is this the intended solution? There's also the possibility of holding the panels down one at a time and then using yellow/red blocks to hold down the panels in bizarro world. Of course, in the end, you would have to cover all of the connecting panels to avoid laser death in the end! :-) Whew! So far, the hardest room for me is the bottom right one. Most of the other ones don't seem too bad.
But...I must admit, this puzzle certainly makes it on my list of greatest Escape levels of all time. :-) |

I pushed a gray block from the right to reveal the exit and skipped the entire level. |

<mjn> (SPOILER) This one makes me grateful for the Undo button.
<John Lewis> Since Max's "Group Hug" was released before the advent of heart framers, I decided to create a new version with them. And change that red heart to blue for some color variety. :-) |

<John Lewis> This level will probably be super easy for most people. For some reason, I felt like creating a level where you had to stop an army of sleeping daleks...I wanted to use a sokoban puzzle on the right side and tried to find a computer program to generate levels, but I couldn't find one. Does anyone know where I could download one? :-) Thanks!
So, instead, I used some random puzzle I found somewhere on the web (it doesn't even say who made it or anything...). |

<Max> (SPOILER) Hey, glad you liked it, John! Thanks for putting up with my multiple versions (although maybe your last comment should have been a spoiler ;) ) |
