sokoboros
A puzzlescript puzzler about a baby snake: sokoboros by Trevor Newton. (as always in puzzlescript games use the Z-key to undo a move and R-key to restart a level)
Nice yet short game. It's the simple snake eating items game with a good puzzle maze thrown in. You must always remember to serpentine or zigzag yourself enough before heading into an area in order to allow for the new length that will be added.
To open the last gate, you need to go through the switches in the 4-switch room clockwise, starting in the upper left corner. That will give you the shortest path and allow your snake to reach the very first switch. Good luck!
There are two solutions for the 4 button one. Got to the 3 button room and use all 3, then press 1 more in the 4 button room. Or press the 2 bottom ones in the 4 switch room and the two upper ones in the 3 switch room.
For anyone stuck in the room with the four fruits in the bottom right and three paths, bypass the first fruit, take the second path (the one with only one fruit), go counter-clockwise around the loop then into the 3x4 box with four fruits, in the box, enter through the left, go 1 down, 1 right, 1 up, 1 right, 1 down, 1 right, 2 up, 3 left, down 1 and finally left 1. then go down and follow the loop clockwise until you reach the fruit in the loop (the path on the right) then go up, left and down through the other fruits, continue around the loop counter-clockwise making sure to go as far down as possible and through the far right path again (where the two fruit were) and follow the route out making sure to collect the last fruit (the one you bypassed earlier) on your way out. Sorry the explanation was kind of long.
This was really clever. I love it!
ReplyDeleteLovely! Although I'm bit stuck with the last level I think, coming 2 blocks short... help!
ReplyDeletehaha nice one indeed! Ok, stuck too at the end :-)
ReplyDeleteSomebody able to finish this?
ReplyDeletefinished.
ReplyDeleteYeah I finished it... But there are some unexpected out of the box solutions.
ReplyDeleteIf you've been collecting the obvious fruits, you ALWAYS have enough length to cover e desired amount of buttons.
'Desired amount'... But not necessarily the obvious ones!
Help! How to cover the last 10 buttons???
ReplyDeleteFor the last ten buttons calculate the shortest route over all the buttons with leaving a trail free for the snake to pass.
ReplyDeleteAaargh still can't do last 10 buttons, missing just 1 step :(
ReplyDeleteDon't know any shorter toures
Fun! And, a nice break from the block pushing! Thanks for sharing this one with us, Bart!
ReplyDeleteOut! What a nice game.
ReplyDeletePalat, it is not about a shorter route.
I mean, of course it is about a shorter route, but you also have to walk just a little bit longer for it :-)
ReplyDeleteEven though at the start you see you'll need to press all 10 buttons, I didn't think about using buttons from other rooms for some of the solution.
ReplyDeleteAh ok :) got it and finished it! It's all about where you want your tail to be in the end :)
ReplyDeleteCan't reach level four. Missing one for some reason. Where is it???!!
ReplyDeleteNice one. Bit short.
ReplyDeleteThis game shows the best thing about PuzzleScript, that it allows people to easily innovate and give fresh perspectives on classic games.
ReplyDeletefor the person whos stuck on 4 use the 2 at the bottom of the room and then two in the room below it.
ReplyDeleteIm stuck on the part where you have to push 4 buttons. IDK the level but I can't figure out how to eat the group of fruits without getting stuck. :c
ReplyDeleteDelightful game. An instant favorite.

The 10 button gate is puzzling me. I can't find the shortest route in the 4 switch. Any help? (The other comment doesn't help me)
ReplyDeleteNever mind, I finished this game! And eating that other egg? Maybe he was hungry for eggs...
ReplyDeleteThat was fun anyway!
ReplyDeleteAnon 00:22 is correct,
ReplyDeleteSPOILER ALERT!

ReplyDeleteLoved it its all about where you go to make short path
ReplyDeletevery nice!!
