nonexplosive rocketeer [browser]
Shoot your way through the puzzlescript puzzler Nonexplosive Rocketeer by MFaik. (controls: arrow keys to move, X key to shoot, Z key to undo a move, R key to restart a level).
Well, once again, I just don't get what I'm supposed to do. On the second level, there's one orange box, and two X's. Shooting the projectile moves the box, but doesn't do anything I can see to solve the problem of there being more X's than boxes.
Oh, for the good old days, when the puzzle was in solving the problem, not figuring out how to play the game.
Mr. Miller - here are some hints on mechanics (rot 13)

Nice game, just enough difficulty, I liked it! My only complaint is that the color of the wall and the void (black and very dark grey) is very similar, hard to see the difference. In some level it was really important to know where the void ends.
Nice one, about the right level of difficulty for me, and pleasantly puzzle-focused. A couple of very good "aha" moments, especially on the last two levels.

Thanks, @Smowler. Wish they'd just said so up front.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very nice puzzle game.
ReplyDeleteNot to hard,
hard enough to let you use your brain.
Clever game
ReplyDeleteI'm stuck. I can't get past "windows" or "rocketblocked". Help?

Like this game, some interesting mechanics, though some of the middle levels seemed harder than the end levels.
ReplyDelete@ Smowler, thanks for the hint of rocketblocked, was working round some of those ideas but couldn't put it together,
Finished
ReplyDeleteGreat game indeed !
