cargo lines [browser]
Somewhere between Sokoban and Rush Hour, twenty-nine levels of box-sliding, cargo-hauling fun: Cargo Lines by IrregularHex.
Great game! Very clever idea, and the puzzles build in complexity as you go. The frustration level can be high, but the rewards of overcoming and solving are even higher. Thank you!
It's pretty interesting how each box in the game works.
Blue: Can move on its own but CAN'T be toggled on/off Green: Can move on its own AND be toggled on/off Red: Can be toggled on/off but CAN'T move on its own
@collie the penultimate got me stumped until I realised that the trick is to "untangle the blue one" every time you can. Bear in mind that it's not heavy like the red ones, so you can move it directly with the mouse. At the same time you cannot release its hook, so it's a mess if it keeps grabbing both 2 cables for too long. Leave some room around it so you can release one of the cables often. Hope it helps!
@Nachotururu yea I get that but I keep making a mistake and dont notice till it's too late and I cant fix it and walk away, try again later I'll get it eventualy, it'll probably be luck, but I'll get it.
Spel laad niet bart..
ReplyDeleteFout tijdens het verbinden met irregularhex.itch.io. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
ReplyDeleteFoutcode: PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR
Must be a problem on their end. I'm getting the same PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR on every itch.io site.
ReplyDeleteYes itch.io is completely down for the moment
ReplyDeleteCurrently stuck on the last level...
ReplyDeleteHint for the last level: Note that you have one track with two trucks going down, but two separate tracks going up.
ReplyDeleteClever and fun!
ReplyDeleteTook me a while to figure out that one screen is for navigation and the other set is for solving puzzles.

Green: Can move on its own AND be toggled on/off
Red: Can be toggled on/off but CAN'T move on its own
That was challenging, NO JOKE! But the satisfaction of the "aha moments" was totally worth it!!!!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteGreat game!
ReplyDeleteGood one, I really like it, thank you! :-)
ReplyDelete@EF any other help for the last level would be much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI got the last one EVENTUALY.... the trick is to leave trucks on the path sometimes instead of finishing the road.... that's all I'll say....
ReplyDeleteBUT the penultimate level has me completely stopped. It's just something with my brain, I cant see enough steps forward to keep the train going
