finally got it Max.

OK, the key commands are in the documentation now, so they'll go up with the next revision.

The ones you want are square brackets ] and [.

1169 Wave Doom (371) Thu 31 Mar 2005 12:54

I had problems with that too. You have to zoom out in order for it to work. I don't remember what key does that, though. Actually it would be a good idea to include all game commands in the readme. (Unless I've missed them and they're there already)

I have a great idea for a level similar to this, but I'm having trouble choosing an "activation" spot that is off the screen. Can anyone help me out (or smack me because I've been overlooking something simple)? Thanks.

Test fix for Joshua's bug..

1159 Wave Joshua Bone (257) Thu 31 Mar 2005 03:36

Hmm... When someone uploads a speed record identical to the last uploaded record, the new "record" erases the old record even though they are the same. This probably needs to be fixed...

1158 Wave Joshua Bone (257) Thu 31 Mar 2005 03:32 SPOILER

Added speedrun: 78 moves (old: 78).

914 Wave Max (61) Wed 30 Mar 2005 09:48 SPOILER

Added speedrun: 78 moves (old: 999999).

Very satisfying to beat, especially since I had a one-move-shy-of-correct solution for a while.

735 Wave mjn (118) Fri 25 Mar 2005 02:14

This level is awesome.

724 Wave Max (61) Thu 24 Mar 2005 14:21 SPOILER

Well, if it weren't for the fact that I am 99.999% sure that there is no way logistically to beat the level "too fast," if this were to happen, it would still have to be an even number of moves, allowing you to walk back and forth until the wave hits you precisely in the bottom right corner.

But yeah, I highly doubt that there is a more efficient way to solve the puzzle...

722 Wave Tom 7 (1) Thu 24 Mar 2005 13:42

Yeah, this level is great. It's also extremely tight. In fact, it seems that it's not even possible to beat it 'too fast', even if you figure out a more efficient way of getting the grey block in the hole.

713 Wave Tom 7 (1) Wed 23 Mar 2005 23:33

Lovely!!

709 Wave Joshua Bone (257) Wed 23 Mar 2005 22:30

Run for high ground!

707 Wave Max (61) Wed 23 Mar 2005 22:11

This, like Tom's "Time Bomb" is a time sensitive level, but it uses a different (and more primitive) timing mechanism. It's pretty easy, but I hope it looks cool/is fun because it actually took a very long time to make!

p.s. mods are welcome if anyone has an idea to make this more challenging...
