yipeee! a new bart game...cant wait to play!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Thanks Bart! :)
ReplyDeleteVeeeery nice one Bart, but already stuck at lvl 8 :)
ReplyDeleteMooie kerstdagen gewenst alvast!
Is there something wrong with level 10? The blocks won't move, they always stick on the right side. Is that normal?
ReplyDeleteLove the game but also stuck on level 8 lol
ReplyDeleteGetting nicer!
ReplyDeleteLvl 12 took some time...
nevermind lolz i got it :)
ReplyDeleteGreat game! Stuck on 12, but having fun anyway. Thanks for another puzzle game.
ReplyDeleteWas alot of fun to play
ReplyDeleteAnd it got harder and harder, but with the time you learn new tricks.
the hardest one for me was 12, tried around for 5 min, then restarted and saw immediatly the solution
Thanks Bart
level 12 is too hard for me :-(
ReplyDeleteFor 12:
ReplyDeleteAs far as i can see you cant solve it if you screw around too long.
Restart and try to pull the long one threw the hole
Gah.. All going great until 8!...
ReplyDeleteReally nice game!! But stuck on lvl 12. restarted the level for a hundred times, but just can't see the solution^^
ReplyDeleteI know what i have to do but i just don't know how
ReplyDeleteI'm stuck on level 8.
ReplyDeleteAfter completing the Game and trying 12 again i totally forgot the solution ^^
ReplyDeletefor level 8: try to get one stick on the left ?lug? and the other on the right.it's quite easy if you managed to do this...(sorry for my english) :-)
ReplyDelete@Inko:
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOO :-S :-D
Gaaaaah!.. Just when you starting to roll.. lvl.14..
ReplyDeleteHa ha.. talking about stuff really does help..
ReplyDeleteI can't get 12. I've been restarting and trying to pull the long one through the hole, but it's not working. I can't get on the right side of it.
ReplyDeleteanyone figure out level 12 yet?
ReplyDeleteaaaaand done. Nice one Bart.. Great progression, graphics, bgm, etc.. Shame there weren't more levels but hey ho.. Merry Xmas.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Bart! Thanks for the brain teaser.
ReplyDeleteOn level 13, I've got the two blocks on on top of the other, but the star is to the side of the smaller one, like this:
ReplyDelete-*
___
And I can't figure out how to fix it.
lvl 12 - you need to work out (or have learned) where the star needs to be - push thru or pull thru?.. then the order - small block or big first?.. then how to get the two blocks in position.. a bit complicated to provide a step by step guide
ReplyDeleteThanks. That was a nice little time waster.
ReplyDelete----------------------
ReplyDelete- - sss---
- - *llllll-

* is where the star/star target is
sss is the small block
llllll is the large block
This is how you move the two blocks to get the star on the left (correct) side of the large block.
Hope this helps for level 12.
got as far as level 15- interesting game.
ReplyDeletehi Bart, these kind of puzzle games are the reason I started reading your blog. Thanks for this great game. I enjoyed every level. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't comprehend 22:56 instructions, guess I'll have to wait for someone to make a video walkthrough.
ReplyDelete----------------------
ReplyDelete-oooooo-oooooooosss---
-oooooo-oooooo*llllll-

The original didn't turn out, so this is it again. The "o"s are empty spaces, and all the other symbols are the same. (this is Anon from 22:56)
If it helps for those on twelve, I'm pretty sure that the long block has to be pulled through which means you have to find a way to get on the left end of the long block, but I myself haven't figured out how to do it either.
ReplyDeleteLevel twelve no whyyyy
ReplyDeleteVery fun, but I am now very stuck. I know where I have to get the star. I just don't know *how*.
Finally done. Loved it!
ReplyDeleteFinally!!! After studying 22:56/23:16 diagram for level 12, I got it, then somehow breezed through 13 but now sadly stuck at level 14. Bummer! By the way was there a "prize" for the person who finished all levels first, as on that other game?
ReplyDeleteTwelve is distressing me. Any hints?
ReplyDeleteGood thinking Anonymous 23:38, it is Christmas time. Maybe there should have been a Christmas "prize/present" for the first person to complete all the levels! But it sure as heck would not have been me!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!
ReplyDeletewell done
ReplyDeletelvl 12 is tricky
wish u all a merry x-mas
A starting hint for Level 12: Slide small block to the right.
ReplyDeleteDetach from it by moving all the way to the right wall.
Grab the large block from its top left, and carry it up to meet the small block.
Move all three blocks down one, and right one. Detach.
Very Nice. Just the thing after a long day at work and a long lunch hour Christmas shopping in long lines! Merry Christmas to you!
ReplyDeleteBart, that's a great game!
ReplyDeleteNice game Bart!
ReplyDeleteGreat game Bart! Just challenging enough without being frustrating. Happy holidays! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift you've given us this year, Bart! Thank you for such a great Christmas game and I hope your holidays are filled with good friends, good food and happiness :)
ReplyDeleteBart, you are the best.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and a happy New Year Bart! Thanks for the game, it was fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Unknown for the Level 12 hint! On to 13!
ReplyDeleteWell, that didn't take long. Only got to level 9 before I can't go any further. :P
ReplyDeleteOh, well... will try again later. Thanks for the challenge Bart! :D
On level 8, I cannot see any way of detaching the two bricks from each other or rearranging them. All I seem to be able to do is slide the smaller one along the longer one. What am I missing?
ReplyDeleteLevel 8: Put the star brick at the *side* of the shorter brick (not under it).Now move the whole thing sideways and down till the large brick will be stopped by the protruding edge. This way you will seperate the smaller brick from the larger one.
ReplyDelete@ Anon 8:25 - If you bring all three to the far left and then down, you can catch the small and large on the lefthand jutting corner to separate the star from the other two. you can then slide the star along the bottom toward the right in order to get around and above the large block. I took the large and small to the right and down so that I could detach myself by sliding along the top of the large as it was "caught" on it's right side by the righthand jutting corner. Hopefully that gets you to a place where you can then maneuver the small block to above the large block.
ReplyDeleteAsk again if you need more help :)
Hi Bart, as I posted earlier: I like the game very much. Thouhg I have a small suggestion: hotkey R for refresh?
ReplyDeleteThat was a great game, Bart! With that little but helpful hint from Unknown on lvl12 the rest was hard but feasible. Merry Christmas everybody!
ReplyDeleteGreat Game, thanks Bart. Looks Simple... But makes you think. Love it.
ReplyDeleteThe music is OBERCOOOOL!
ReplyDeleteLove the game also, thanks Bart :)
Merry XMAS
Woohoo!! A new game!! And a fun one too. Thanks!!! xx
ReplyDeleteVery good game. Some spots remind me of Tower of Hanoi with the recursive solution.
ReplyDeleteway too easy ,.,... the only difficult had been 12.
ReplyDeleteGreat music and very cool game, Bart!
ReplyDeleteI'm saving level 12 for later ;)
Thank you a lot for this present
Loved it! Thanks for the help on level 12. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Bart!
ReplyDeletegreat!!!
ReplyDelete"Level 8: Put the star brick at the *side* of the shorter brick (not under it).Now move the whole thing sideways and down till the large brick will be stopped by the protruding edge. This way you will seperate the smaller brick from the larger one."
ReplyDeleteThanks, that did the trick!
And thanks Unknown for the key to level 12!
ReplyDeleteMust be an idiot. i STILL cannot get 12. Even reading all the hints.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for your kind words about the game!
ReplyDeleteI just put a new version online with one very small update: now you can also press the 'r' key to reset a level. Cheers!
Finished! I think that's one of the first games that I didn't look for a walkthrough :)
ReplyDeleteYeah!!! I finished it, struggling all by myself, yuppie!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I didn't like it as I like Sugar Sugar, the escapes and the Factory Balls =(
ReplyDeletemerry christmas bart :)
ReplyDeleteLoved it! Merry x-mas and Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteHey Bart, congrats, another amazing and clever one for Xmas, I'm so happy to have done all (12th is tough indeed, but when you find it you'll through the 13th easy. 14 and 15 are terrible too). BEST WISHES
ReplyDeleteOnce I figured out 12, then 13 & 14 seemed easy. Now stuck on 15...
ReplyDeleteReally Good ! except 12,soooooo hard ^^
ReplyDeleteSometimes difficult to see perfectly the place to be and the real blocks... too much green for me or too much time in front of my computer...
Big thanks and seasons greetings Bart !
Thank you for the walkthrough video. I was stuck on level 8. And i'ts not verry fun to do only half game. Barts last game i onley did 32 levels. Somtime i is best for me to look a video walkthrough. I hate when i can't finish a game. But now i am on again.. :-)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Bart! Thanks for the games.
ReplyDeleteYes, done. I had a little help in level 8-12, I lost patience and looked at the walkthrough. Thanks Bart for a nice game. :-) s
ReplyDeleteThanks Bart! Have given up for now; have to go to work tomorrow :-/
ReplyDeleteBut I will definitely plays on tomorrow!
I love these kinds of puzzles!
Merry Christmas!
Yay! Got to level 14 yesterday, gave up...came back today...and finished! Yay! Merry Christmas, Bart! Thanks for all the great games, and for keeping my brain sharp! I really enjoy your blog, and appreciate all the games you share with us room escapers!
ReplyDeleteFINALLY! Finished one of your puzzles w/o a walkthrough! Merry Christmas Bart! Thanks!
ReplyDeletehey this is cool lvl 12 is hard good job bonte
ReplyDeleteMy brain...is fried. Why do I make myself play these tricky games RIGHT before I go to sleep? (to tire myself out even more perhaps?)
ReplyDeleteWell, it worked! 16 levels done in 45 minutes without a walkthrough!!! YEEESSS!! I feel complete! And exhausted!
I felt so stupid when the solutions were so simple and yet I couldn't even see them; I was just doing and not thinking. Although lvl 12 was a toughy, it didn't get to me as much as lvl 15 and 16 did! Anyways, GREAT GAME BART! I love it! I want more of it (in the future)! And now, time to go to bed. :)
Just finished all levels :-) got stuck on 15 but than I saw the light :-)
ReplyDeletei looked at evrey single comment and i still don't know how do level 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
