On the surface, this puzzle game is simple. Easy, even. You move in turns through small, carefully designed levels trying to avoid or eliminate enemies on your way to the exit. But before long, the new varieties of obstacles and tight level design will force you to think ahead in strategic fashion, making this one elegantly simple game that can challenge you with the best of them.

It does seem that you gain moves by destroying an enemy.

...She says, right before getting stuck on level 9.

To finish a level, you only need to get to the exit, there's no need to destroy things if they aren't in your way.

Okay, stuck on level 23. Doesn't seem possible, unless there's a trick?

Here is the first half. They are broken into groups of three moves for ease of verification over a choppy Skype connection. Many thanks to my kid for being a tireless amanuensis while I kept muttering things like "okay i remember solving this one but HOW?". We will try to finish up the last half tomorrow, or perhaps this weekend.

so. many. levels.

A warning to future coffee break gamers: this game will destroy your work day.

Here are some more solutions. Note that unlike deaken.wylie, I simply use WASD instead of NWSE. Also, similarly to deaken.wylie's, some are quite suboptimal.

As a bonus (or rather, an apology for not solving the rest yet), here's a shorter 29:

Found a secret which helps a lot to complete the levels (not by skipping levels):

You can press shift while on level to display "deadly" squares.

Reply
Danwareld July 5, 2013 11:34 AM

Ville Heikkinen:
Pressing control also works, BTW.
Keep in mind that this highlights the squares that are not deadly, but rather "under attack". When dealing with moving walls, sometimes you have to move into one of them to get pushed by such a wall onto a desired square.

Reply

I wonder why this feature isn't mentioned anywhere in the review or the game...

Reply

Um, hitting the blue triangle in the upper right brings up a small menu. The plus one toggles between showing the "deadly squares" or not.The bottom right is full screen,and the rest you can probably figure out.

Danwareld: "[S]uboptimal"? That's way more politely than I would have described some of my solutions. My 21 is... shameful. I guess I'll let more efficient folks try to finish up (while I go back to fighting with https://jayisgames.com/archives/2013/02/dungeondiary.php ), and take another swing at it if they aren't solved by the end of the weekend.

I got too caught up in revenge, as it were, on 29. Nice solution. :)

There's an ad running - The Internship film promo - it breaks the page and renders the game unplayable. We've had the same ad breaking pages at Nitrome. Not happy with those guys running that ad.

Oh. And you didn't mention the level editor or the free desktop versions :P

Your 21 is beautiful compared to mine:

Note a lot of copypasta! I went as far as implementing a record/replay feature using AutoHotKey just for this level.

I should've really checked my "solutions" before posting them. Apparently, I made a bunch of mistakes. Specifically, 30, 36 and 37:

30:

aaa ass sws dds sss aaa

36:

ssd ssd dws dds s

37:

To atone, here are 43-48:

Saviour-V teleports in...

And then, of course, there's the labyrinth mode. I've only managed to get past 3 gates before getting killed by a random enemy. Also, if you spot any enemies / ally blocks tinged with black, it means they can explode.

This can be both good and bad, as I've found out far too often.

Great game. The only thing I don't really understand is when exploding blocks kill you and when they don't... sometimes feels a bit random. While I like the exploratory nature as you meet new enemies, it'd be nice to understand the underlying principles...

Reply

eamurdock, they seem to explode in all adjacent squares except the one that deals damage to them. When they are next to each other they trigger a chain reaction. The safe way of disposing them is to make sure no two exploding pieces are touching you and connected.

Has anyone solved level 49? It's the only one I can't get, and it's driving me crazy.

deaken.wylie July 18, 2013 2:09 PM

An Android version just hit Google Play this morning.

Cons:

  • No free / trial / lite / ad-supported version.

  • So far (only a few levels in), the levels seem to be the same as the Flash version.

  • Both of the control schemes (swipe and screen-quadrants) can be a little picky.

  • The editor is even less comprehensible (or perhaps I have lost even more of my mind in the last couple of weeks).

  • I think I understand why it isn't implemented, but I would surely have loved a pinch-to-zoom function.

Pros:

  • It's a buck. You can drop a buck on Aaron.

  • The frustration is now portable! Hooray!

Despite my cons outnumbering my pros, most of them are just quibbles, and I would definitely recommend picking it up.

deaken.wylie July 18, 2013 8:30 PM

Wow. I swear those various app store badges weren't there before I posted. I guess I was right about losing my mind... Sheesh.

Reply

Hey, has anyone solved the maze level yet? I've gotten within single-digit moves of hitting the last "gate" a handful of times, but that's it.

Talk about replayability, by the way . . . love this game.

How do you do Level 57??? I have been able to do every single one except that one. Please help :)
