I can't get past level 16 - and there's 14 more to go!

This is fun! But I'm only on 9 and doing it slowly.

I'm stuck on level 19...

Must... resist... clicking...

I'm stuck on 19 too...

No! Don't not click! It's not addictive and it won't suck up hours of your life! [Big Grin]
 
Posted by Mike (Member # 55) on :
 
All the levels up to 16 were easy. 16 is looking harder, but I'm sure I'll get it pretty soon.

This reminds me of an old game called Endorfun where you roll a cube around a grid and pick up colored squares. Really fun game, that. I implemented it as a group project in school.
 
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
 
19's pretty trivial. 16 had me stumped for a while, though.
 
Posted by cmc (Member # 9549) on :
 
Oh man... I could easily get lost in this game. The last thing I need is to start at 11 pm...

I will say, thank you for pointing me in its direction!!!
 
Posted by Mike (Member # 55) on :
 
I'm actually having quite a bit of trouble with 17. Hmmm.
 
Posted by Mike (Member # 55) on :
 
19 is trivial? I've almost convinced myself that it's impossible.
 
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
 
I'm stuck on 13.

edit: Now it's 15.

edit: And 16.

I'm stuck on sixteen and I must go to bed. Ah, well.
 
Posted by Jhai (Member # 5633) on :
 
The nice thing is you can go back to the site, push "continue" and start where you left off.

Maybe not so nice.
 
Posted by Mike (Member # 55) on :
 
Uh, never mind.
 
Posted by Jhai (Member # 5633) on :
 
I still can't get 19 - can anyone give me a hint?
 
Posted by Mike (Member # 55) on :
 
Jhai, so I convinced myself that the yellow path had to go a certain way, but it actually didn't. Does that help? [Big Grin]

Am now working/stuck on 21.
 
Posted by Jhai (Member # 5633) on :
 
It might help, except that all of the colors are random for everyone who gets a cube. [Big Grin]

Thanks for the effort, though.

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
 
Gyah, 27 is looking very tough.
 
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
 
No, I take that back, it's trivial.
 
Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :
 
I got to 17, then I got a little bored.
 
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
 
Hah! 56994 for a final score. No idea if it's good or not.
 
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
 
Huh, it apparently puts me as number 15. Can't be a very old game.
 
Posted by Bob_Scopatz (Member # 1227) on :
 
I got to 23, but it's late...
 
Posted by Fitz (Member # 4803) on :
 
I'm gonna call it a night at 21. I'll pick it up again tomorrow, when I'm thinking a bit more clearly. I'm in no danger of getting a high score, as I stopped getting any kind of bonus points after level 16.
 
Posted by Juxtapose (Member # 8837) on :
 
63,134 final. Top score was 88,000+. [Eek!] Note that I'm not counting CrazyHAXXOR with 100,000, who undoubtedly recorded the pattern and went through a second time without making a mistake. Or is a placeholder.
 
Posted by Earendil18 (Member # 3180) on :
 
Got to 23 but like Bob said, it's fargin' late.
 
Posted by MightyCow (Member # 9253) on :
 
Fun, but those kind of games start to bore me after a while. It's challenging to try a puzzle 5 or 6 times. After I can't figure it out for 10 minutes, I move on to something else.
 
Posted by Mike (Member # 55) on :
 
Meh. 23 is impossible. *gives up*
 
Posted by Evie3217 (Member # 5426) on :
 
I couldn't figure out 16. It's very frustrating, and I'm tired. I'm going to bed.

Awesome game.
 
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
 
...Still stuck on sixteen...

EDIT: I can link all but red. I'm obviously missing something huge. Hints, anyone?

EDIT: I did it! I should give up more often.

Stuck on fifteen.
 
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
 
23's been driving me up a wall. I'm going to try it again later.
 
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
 
On 28 now.
 
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
 
What the heck is wrong with me that I got to 15 with no problems and can't get past it?
 
Posted by Miro (Member # 1178) on :
 
As far as I can tell, 21 is not possible. *grumble*

Edit: Nevermind, I just got it. [Embarrassed]

I'm on 29 now, and again stumped.
 
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
 
I feel so stupid, I am stuck on 13, any hints are appreciated.
 
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
 
29 is frustrating. Keep getting all colors but one... which always needs to cross over just a single square to finish. Argh.
 
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
 
Made it to the infamous 16, Ill see how long it takes me. 15 was so much easier than 13
 
Posted by Celaeno (Member # 8562) on :
 
Jhai, you're evil.

16 is keeping me from eating lunch which is keeping me from getting ready for work.
 
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
 
How is 15 easier than 13? It seems like 15 insists you do something impossible.

Maybe I'll start over.
 
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
 
Jhai, if I don't do homework anymore, it is all totally your fault.

Leve 14 and still going...

Trying to match up only 3 colors is much easier (for me) then having 5 to keep track of.
 
Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :
 
16 is evil. I can get all the colors but one (and which one I can't get depends on what order I connect the rest). [Frown]

We got this game with our IBM Aptiva (this was years ago). I absolutely loved it, partially because of the background music and the zen-like sayings when you completed a level. I've been searching for an implementation ever since. You wouldn't happen to know where I could get a working copy of this, would you? I'd be willing to pay for it, if it's available for purchase anywhere.
 
Posted by Raia (Member # 4700) on :
 
Damn level 16!
 
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
 
Finally, level 30.
 
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
 
Done, Score 61353. Level 30 was... anticlimactic.

Of course, I kept leaving it and going back, so the time score isn't exactly what it could have been if I drove myself mad trying to finish in the shortest possible time. Still, I made it to page 15 of the high scores!
 
Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :
 
Gyah. Stuck on 23.
 
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
 
I hate lvl 16 so much.

Ill LOVE you if anybody can tell me just ONE of the color paths that is correct for lvl 16. Just so I have some sort of stability. I am not sure of a single color and I hate it!
 
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
 
I beat 16 and realized there isnt an effective way to describe the solution.
 
Posted by BlackBlade (Member # 8376) on :
 
sorry for double posting but I think lvl 26 is completely misplaced, its far easier than some of the earlier puzzles.

edit: err not double posting but triple posting!
 
Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :
 
Indeed, the puzzle order seems a bit odd. I got stuck on 16, 23 and 27, but the rest were fairly easy. And adding in the black boxes seems to actually make the puzzles easier, because they are usually set up so that they add constraints on where you can go. Fewer options = faster solving time.

Do you have a mac? I did a partial rewrite in Objective-C to the point where it plays well, but otherwise has a rather non-functional user interface. I could even give you the source code, but I'm not sure even I would want to wade through what I wrote several years ago.

Alas, I was not able to duplicate the trippy music and backgrounds, nor the subliminal messages.

I am still stuck on 23, by the way. [Grumble]
 
Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :
 
I am also stuck on 16. It is the green box that gets me every time. Can someone just tell me which direction the green one on the east face should go to start?

Dang! Just realized the colors are random each time you play!

Spoiler for 16

Why was 17 so much easier! Agh!

Sure, that's easy. Start at one green box, it doesn't matter which. Then work your way toward the other green box.

Just sound silly once you say it out loud. [Big Grin]
 
Posted by Mike (Member # 55) on :
 
Whoa. The solution to 23 is freakin' awesome.
 
Posted by Mike (Member # 55) on :
 
And, done. The rest were pretty easy.
 
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
 
I'm stuck on 20. I keep saying stuck, then I solve it the next day.


Hopefully I didn't just jinx it. I don't suppose anyone is taking screen shots of these just before they solve them so I can cheat?

I did for 18. It was the only one I remembered to at.
 
Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :
 
Ok now I am stuck on 19. I am sure it is something obvious but I am not seeing it. I spelt on it last night and played in my sleep which would be worth it if I could get it this morning. Ugh!
 
Posted by Jeesh (Member # 9163) on :
 
Can someone help me with fifteen?

I am. I'm stuck on 23, now, too.
 
Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :
 
On 15, number the grid abcde across the top and 12345 down the side. On the west side face click A1 and connect it up to its match on the top face staying as close to the edge as possible. Now click D2. Go around the other color, c2,b2, then down, b3,b4, c4, c5. Then follow it all the way around the east face as close to the bottom edge as possible. On the top face, again stay on the east edge and connect it. Then there is a channel for the last color.

Now someone help me with 19. Please!

Posted by Celaeno (Member # 8562) on :
 
It seems like I had the same problems as everyone else. 16, 23, and 27 were ridiculously difficult, and all the rest were a breeze. I probably spent as much time on those three puzzles as I did on the others combined.

Does anyone know of similar games I can play? I really liked this one.
 
Posted by Celaeno (Member # 8562) on :
 
Oh, and I have screenshots of a few if anyone wants hints.
 
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
 
I love 27. Haven't solved it yet, but it's so awesome.
 
Posted by Dasa (Member # 8968) on :
 
This game was cool [Smile] Got stuck on 16, 20 and 23. For some reason I solved 27 pretty fast
 
Posted by Jhai (Member # 5633) on :
 
For those of you looking for more logic games, I've found a lot of good ones on this site: http://www.microgames.info/index.php?cPath=24

There's four pages, so be sure to click through to see all the games. Particular favorites of mine are Gridlock, Splash Back, Plumber 2, and Shrunken.
 
Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :
 
Stuck on 23....
 
Posted by JennaDean (Member # 8816) on :
 
Yesss! Solved 23. I have a screen shot ... if anyone gets desperate....

Now I'm stuck on 26. No one else has complained about 26! I'm just blind today.

Edit: Oh my goodness. That was so simple. Why couldn't I see that?
 
Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :
 
Gah! My IE window froze and I had to restart it. Now I will be stuck on 19 again!
 
Posted by Katarain (Member # 6659) on :
 
I've been stuck on 17 for days. I come back to it every so often, sometimes every day, sometimes less. And people call it easy. 16 didn't take me nearly as long.
 
Posted by Jeesh (Member # 9163) on :
 
Now I'm stuck on 19, curses!
 
Posted by MandyM (Member # 8375) on :
 
Katarain, 17 was so easy after trying to solve 16 but the next time I played I couldn't remember and it took me FOREVER! 19 was harder than 16 or 17 though. Now I am on 23 and have been since Tuesday. Part of me wants to break down and ask for the screen shot.
 
Posted by CaySedai (Member # 6459) on :
 
I had downloaded and I was stuck on 23. A couple of days ago, my husband did something to the computer and had to do a restore. Now I will have to start over.

I'm not doing that today.
