«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 274 of 274anonymous: well, very frustrating it is that there are enough blocks to do the final switch comboination but it cant be done because that right block is the only thing needed for this solution
Anonymous : well,there are enough blocks left over after doing your method of combination to make the diagonal blocks, in order to do the combination with the switches that i described; unfortunately theres only 1 right block and 2 are needed
peter: enough blocks even if you keep the down-right blocks elevated? I only want to use the combination method to make a neutral block. It seems it would have to be done with five blocks, and the only way I can figure would combine a down block, which also doesn't help
anonymous: i think im mistaken. i was thinking if the two down right stacks were adjacent and the lower stack was on the neutral glue box then when the pusher extended both stack would remain in tact. not the case, the upper one would need to be on a down block and then would push down after being pushed up. this puzzle is ridiculous and unforgiving. almost want to give up.
also i don know what you are referring to by "it seems it would have to be done with 5 blocks"
I'm stuck trying to figure out the switch to the right of A7. It looks like I need to smuggle over four things to access the switch room, so far I've managed to find three (a blue conveyor from A7, a purple conveyor from B10, and the bomb from the space just to the left of B11). I've searched high and low, and can't find the last item to smuggle over. Or am I supposed to be able to use those three items by themselves?
Typo in that last post. Bomb came from space to left of B17, not B11.
for the switch near A7 .. try resetting the little corridor room just to the right of a7
peter: by five blocks, I mean it seems that's the most we can use while still having four more left to push up on the switch, and one to combine. The way I have it, I have a down-right on a sticky neutral, and another stacked above that on a down block (so when the pusher pushes up, no down-right blocks are lost). I think you could trigger the switches at the same time by pushing up on a block-over-left stack, down block, down block, left block, down-left block, block-over-neutral stack (from top to bottom). Even then, you'd end up with something combined with a down block, which doesn't help!
I agree... pretty close to giving up. Could the Anon who sounded like a dev (13 January 2022 at 17:42) drop a hint? Appreciate the ingenious puzzle and terrific game, but we're lost out here!
Bonjour comment passer A 15 car je suis bloque et je n'arrive a le comprendre avec les ressort
I'm trying to figure out how to extract a block from B16 to access one of the bonus switches immediately to the right of that level. One thing that I'm now confused about is whether there's any difference between a sticky arrow and a green arrow? The sticky conveyors seem to behave identically to the unsticky ones, but it's possible I've forgotten a mechanic somewhere along the way :/
Doh/Power of the post: you can, of course, push sticky stacks without getting brained by a falling blocks. Solved the B16 bonus puzzle now.
Anonymous that sounds like (and is) a dev here: the designer of S.5 replied on the itch,io page: https://itch.io/post/5221923 The mentioned update will probably come within the next 24 hours.
Anonymous: S5...Finally solved that beast. Could not have managed without all of your help! Turns out we were on the right track, except the reason it wasn't working out is because we were trying to make the sticky block after making the other two combinations. making the sticky block first changes the whole scenario.
peter: so glad to hear! My brain on this one is fried... mind offering a little more detail? And congrats!
anonymous: sure, scratch your method of starting the puzzle. dont make any sticky blocks yet. you have to do the 3 switch method we discussed. sticky blocks wont work for that. so the first step is to access the platform so you can get your two stacks made and in place and make the sticky block. then go for the glue. after doing that its a tedious process of reconstructing t and modifying he bridge to access and store the other blocks needed to make the stacks for the other combinations.
its a great advantage to have use of the bomb to help with all of the moving and shifting around.
if you are still at a loss, let me know. im sure youve spent many more hours than you wanted to spend here, just trying not give away the puzzle to someone who may be reading this and just diving into S5
correction from above "so the first step is to access the platform so you can get your two stacks made and in place and make the sticky block" change the word sticky to square, then clearly you make it sticky afterwards
Really appreciate it, peter. Will have a go with those tips in mind. Kudos for finishing!
Bonjour pour a 15 je suis bloque avez vous une petite aides merci
A15: celui-ci est compliqué (ah ah), ça se débloque quand on comprend que 2 cubes empilés empêchent le ”ressort” de se soulever...
S4, I can't do more: i do everything (thanks to you, sometimes), it's my last switch... and the very best I can do since a week makes me cry: my ladder is on the ground button, preventing me from accessing to my goal. I hardly understand hints from Peter and Team Anon, don't known how you ”send 2 left blocks across the platform” (which one ? ), is the magic trick is for the very beginning, etc... I’m lost, don't know what I'm missing. Any help ?
hey P: here is some help for S4: you said the problem was that your ladder was on the button so im assuming you built a bridge on the right side of the black barrier and then tried to get on to the lower right block by climbing the ladder and crossing with the down/right block. what if your ladder was one space to the right and you have a block stacked on top of it? set it up so the stacked block will push you across the gap when you push it.
merci pour ton aide P. oui j'avais fait le "ressort" et en te lissent sa ma donne la solution
Tant mieux si ça a pu aider!
Et... Thank you very much Peter for this little boost: the ”push up” from the ladder to be on the path! Trying to understand your previous comments, I had not been so far from the solution, but not close enough... Congrats whith S5!
P: glad it helped you! now good luck with the final puzzle. you will surely find help,if you need, above with the dialuge between myself and anonymous concerning S5 (we practically wrote a book with all of our comments).
Ah ah I saw that! And for sure, I keep it by my bedside ...
Just to let you all know, there's been another update which includes fixes to S.5 to prevent unintended solutions, amongst other things. Please check out the devlog on the itch.io page for more details about the update.
Any help for A.21?
I have no idea how to get get two blocks moving at the sam time to enable them to smash into anoth block
Any help with A.21 as I have no clue on how to get the blocks to smash together.
Meblin you need to get two different arrows moving at the same time so they can meet in the center open whole and smash. If you think of the mechanic from the previous level, pushing the button so it slides the blocks onto arrows that then send them up and smash.
Is there anything you can do to replicate that without having a button?
I have managed to get through the main A and B sides and am starting with the switches before I move on to AB ( if that's advisable)
Any help on switch A.2, the switch just to the right of B.16 with ladder and no bomb (the one with a ladder and bomb I have) and the two switches beneath and to the right of B.17 and B.18 ?
Thoroughly flummoxed there, as if I haven't been elsewhere. TIA
I'd like a hint for the bonus switch located to the right of A13. I figured I need to bomb the white platform at the entrance and then take the ladder, I managed to find the extra bomb in the B sector and get it to the right location, but can't get to a place where I can detonate that bomb.
I also managed to bomb the leftmost left conveyor, and replace it with one of the extra blocks, and then get back the bomb with a reset. Bug of feature I don't know, but still this doesn't help solve my issue.
Niki: for the switch just to the right of B16 you have to bring the left block over from b16.
Only switches I'm missing seem to be S4 and S5 (in the switch map from sector B, they are the two leftmost ones of the second line from the top, so they seem to be in sector AB).
But I couldn't find the path to get to these bonus levels, any hint please?
switch to the right of A13. get your bomb in place on the white square but dont follow the bomb. go up and around and approach it from a13.
For S4 there are hints a little ways above in the coments P. asked about S4. S5 theres no switch and you cant access that until all of the buttons are in place.
Don't know how to reach S2 (and not even sure that's really S2, to the left of AB.3)
Any help ?
The key to reaching S2 is to combine two of the ladder blocks into one block with two ladders.
I'm now stuck on S5. I've tried making a bridge from the left platform with the ladder to the top area that has all the blocks, but each path leaves me one block short. So far all I've managed to do is run around and not blow anything up, which is kind of an accomplishment.
Thanks Anonymous!
And now... I'm going back to my looooooong fight with S.4. (I wish I could go back to my life...)
anonymous:for S5 it s possible to make the bridge for either path, providing you make use of the left and/or down left blocks to help you. before this puzzle was updated i was able to solve it by exclusively accessing the upper platform via bridge from ladder but with the new version i havent been able to so it may be that the platform needs to be accessed by bridge and also by using the rising platforms
switch to the right of A13: thanks for your hint Peter, but with the bomb in place I still can't detonate it from anywhere, including from the path exiting A13 - I'm always 4 blocks away instead of 3.
a13: unless im not remembering correctly....the reset function is helpful
Thanks Peter, I'm now finally on to S5...
... and having read all your comments I think I'll quit here and leave A5. I already went much farther than I expected, and really enjoyed the mechanics, but this very last level might not be worth the effort for me. Congrats for having solved it though.
S5 not A5
ha, i managed to solve the version before it was updated and thought that was hard enough. but my solution doesnt even come close to working now. you might be making a wise choice. im going to keep at it although it seems borderline impossible.
Same as Anonymous, I won't spend another week trying to solve S5 :-)
Thanks Peter, thanks everybody for the helpful comments !
And thanks to all the creators of the game !
For the love of god, can anyone give me a tip on how to solve A12? It's driving me nuts.
mark , to solve a12 before you knock the left block off of the pillar make sure you have a down block underneath. thats the only way to get the left block where you need it to reach the exit.
So far my progress with S5 is to make three sticky surfaces with the down-left platform, square platform, and bomb; then maneuver those to make a bridge to the upper platform. Then.... well that's as far as I've got. I'm thinking from there the best idea would be to push a few of those platforms onto the sticky ones to create stacks, but I haven't figured out which ones and where to move them. My idea is that the ultimate goal is to create two down-right platforms stacked onto something else (the one closest to the switch should be on a right platform), placed on the right side of the room above the switch. Just now sure how to accomplish any of that yet.
anonymous: for S5 it would seem that starting out by making the bridge to access the upper platform is helpful. it isn't. you already know what the end goal is. you are correct about the right block needing to be closest to the switch, but it isnt possible to get another block on top of that without blocking the path to the exit. so with that in mind im offering the help that the best way to bring the puzzle into focus from here is to determine what is neccessary to transport your 2 blocks down the corridor to the exit.
forgot to mention, there are comments on the game to help with this
itch.io game page
A.14 is stumping me, even with the help posted on here already. Can anyone please help with some clearer instructions.
Make a stack of 2 blocks on the lift, then turn on the switch. (With 2 blocks on it, the platform won't go up, so you can push the upper block to the left...)
Okay, so I guess my question for S5 is how do I build stacks without first accessing the upper level where all those extra blocks are? Or how do I get up there without building a bridge from the lower left? I feel like this is something easy I'm missing, but I can't seem to figure it out. The only other way I see up there is raising the two elevators between the upper levels at the top, but I can't see a way to do that without first making a stack. The lack of any up arrows is a bigger problem than I thought it'd be.
anonymous: you have a square block, you have glue. so make the stack and push it where you need it to be.
Oh yeah, cool. Thanks. At first I was using that stuff for something else but this opens up access to the upper level. I was also trying to figure a way to use the pistons on the lower left to trigger the two switches and make a square block before I went to the upper level. Problem is I don't think that's workable unless maybe I disassemble the one stack I have, and that seems like a bad idea.
Someone please help me with A15. I have the > (right arrow) block on the upper level, I have one normal block stuck by the red button, and I have the 2 other normal blocks as well as the down arrow block on the ground. I know I need to make a bridge, but I can't figure out how to make said bridge and also get myself back to the bottom, so I can push the button between A14 and A15. I know I'm so close, please someone help. If I need the spring a second time, please tell me. If I need the block off of the red switch, tell me how, it's very stuck and I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to get it out but maybe I'm wrong, I don't know.
atlas: you are on the right track with the having the right block on the platform. to get the left most block out you can build a bridge with the down arrow against the column. from there, you can move the stuck block to the right one space. then go back up and stack the blocks like you did earlier so you can move them freely past the riser.
Still stuck on A.21
how do you get 2 blocks moving at once to allow them to collide?
For A21 you want to make use of two things. 1) anything moving along the conveyors will stop moving if a conveyor faces a barrier (like those black pillars). And 2) non-sticky blocks stacked on top of other blocks won't move when the block underneath is pushed.
I'm still working on S5. So far thanks to the developer's hints on the game's page I've managed to create a square sticky block with a down-right arrow block on top of it. Long story short, it was complicated. So now it seems I have to create another down-right arrow block using the third set of pistons (the ones that can only be activated once) and get that on top of another block (most likely a square sticky). Unfortunately I have no idea how to do either of those things. Anyone still working this have some ideas?
For that last part of S5, perhaps there are other ways, but what helped me to figure it out was that i cant imagine its possible to have both of the blocks that need to be combined resting on sticky blocks, otherwise the sticky blocks would also combine again and you would lose one of those necessary blocks. so with the idea of having one of the blocks stacked upon the square non sticky block and the other on the sticky block i used 2 sets of the pushers. theres a little bit of the timing issue, not as complicated as the earlier one. the thing that actually took a moment to figure out was how to get the block stacked upon the square in the right spot becuase there were no more usable right blocks.
@peter holy shit thank you so much, I finally got it. that was driving me nuts. Now I just gotta figure out A.21, which still isn't making a ton of sense, but I'll worry about it later.
On a completely separate note, is it actually possible to press the button in the center of A.6? please tell me it isn't possible, I have no clue how I'd get to the center.
atlas: for a21, that one isnt difficult if you start out by sending the block on the far right platform up the right conveyor. then send a left block from the middle platform up the left conveyor. from that point its just a matter of moving the 2 necessary blocks that will make a square stacked above the left and right pillars. then just make a string of blocks making sure theres an up block to the right of each stack so when you push from the right both blocks will go upward and combine.
A6; its defintely possible to press the button. its a little bit more difficult to do that and create a path to exit the center after pushing the block on the button. There's an obvious circuit you can make to travel around the outside in a counter clockwise direction. the solution i found relied on the fact that you can access a6 from different rooms and that can help you. as far as i remember, it had to do with filling one of the outer holes on the left side with a left block...from there an extra down block was available to create the path to the center.
follow up for A6: resetting the puzzle and starting from the platform in the lower left corner enables you to move 2 down blocks to the top where you can make the bridge inward from the top platform (just to the right of the center). from there you can use the interior left block to save one of the down blocks on the left side and you can also use an up block on the top of the outer circuit to save a left block. with the down and left blocks saved you can complete the bridge to the button and exit.
everything solved but the updated version of AB5. no matter how many times i go back to that, i havent been able figure that one out. Any help for this?
It might help to know that the proposed title for AB.5 was Close The Blast Doors. The goal of the puzzle is to recognise which 2 blocks you need and then get them where they need to go.
Managed to figure it out. Im not sure that hint would have rang any bells for me but it kind of makes sense in retrospect. Such a solid, well-crafted game that was quite enjoyable to play. Thanks to all.
I’m still working on S5. I’ve reached the point now where I have a down-right block stacked on a sticky square as well as one down and one right block stacked on top of squares (one sticky, one not). As was pointed out earlier, it doesn’t seem possible to move the down-right arrows to the right side without them being on sticky squares, so using the two pushers to create a down-right arrow as before won’t work as it would eliminate one of the sticky squares. So I’m thinking the way to combine the down and right blocks is to have them move along conveyors towards each other and have them meet on top of a sticky square, or some variation of that. And this somehow involves the bottom left pistons. Anyways, I’m running low on ideas so if anyone has figured this one out I could use a hint or two.
S5 hints: Definitley use the combination of the middle and lower left pushers. one of the blocks to be combined can be placed upon the square non-stick block so that it can move along the conveyor when another block slides underneath. keep your other block to be combined stacked on the square sticky block. the later wont be conveyed, just pushed. also, in regards to moving the block that will be stacked on the non sticky square to the place you need it keep in mind you can move it from the left side.
to clarify, the pistons are not pushed at the same time. and the block on the non sticky square can move along the conveyor to synchronize with the block that is stacked on the sticky square which is only being pushed, not conveyed. if you are not getting it, let me know.
correction: where it says "keep in mind you can move it from the left side" meant to say from the right side.
Finally got it. Wow, that was an ordeal.
yes, and all you get for succeeding is a little hat. good job
