Ah, anothber GameMaker game. It says it's downloading. I've heard great things from it. I wonder how he made the level editor though, I want to make one for my game. I think I know how he did it, but I'm not sure, especially saving the levels you've made...

This game is cool. I beat all the easy, normal, and hard ones. I can't beat any other ones.

Darn it! Why can't they make GameMaker for Mac? I'm never able to see these games! And they all look so cool.

I can beat all of the levels up to Hard 3. I can't get that one!

Snailmail · **Posted:** Sat Sep 03, 2005 1:53 am

Hmmm.... I wonder if this will be moved to the recently made Arts & Crafts section. Anyways, I'ma try buying virtual PC so I can play this, screenshot makes this game look old, which is good.

When I saw the screenshot I thought it looked pretty lame, but it turns out to actually be pretty fun and fairly challenging. Good find, Susan.

I don't know anything about GameMaker, but it looks like the level "code" is just a simple format: each character represents a different kind of block, each line of "code" represents a line on the game grid. "!", for example, seems to represent an empty space. The last line, which is just a number in scientific notation, appears to be a checksum which ensures that you can only edit the levels using the supplied level editor. Which is kind of a bummer.

This thing is fun! I got to Hard-5 today, I got bored. I'll try it again tomorrow

Smorky · **Joined:** Sun Dec 12, 2004 2:26 am **Posts:** 775

Now I have beaten all the easy, medium, and hard levels; levels 1,2,3,4,7,10, and 11 of elite; and the final level.

That barely made any sense. I woulda had no idea what you were talking about if I hadn't sued GameMaker, but still, what?

Color Printer · **Posted:** Sun Sep 04, 2005 12:40 am

Does it change the resolution? What size is it?

I'm just paranoid about these things.

Herzeta-what?? You beat the whole game?? That's crazy, I can only beat teh first elite level, and only 6 of the hard ones!

Snailmail · **Posted:** Sun Sep 04, 2005 6:02 pm

I'm almost finished with the game now! I can only use the computers at school for it though!:p So I probly won't beat it...

Susan · **Posted:** Sun Sep 04, 2005 7:20 pm

Can anyone beat the secret levels....

I've beaten 3 of them. Those are the only ones I've reached so far.
The secrets are more about timing than figuring it out like the others are.

Susan · **Posted:** Sun Sep 04, 2005 7:27 pm

I cant beat any of them....

Ju Ju Master · **Joined:** Wed Jul 06, 2005 1:01 am **Posts:** 6245

I've beaten the first two secret levels, I can't get the others in. The 2nd secret was easier than the first, I have a trick for the second. If you wanna know I'll pm you.

Pretty easy if you ask me. Maybe make it more confusing.

Oh and I beat the first secret level!

Only two more hard levels to go beforeI can do the hard secret level! I've worked in Decewptive Stairs for so long, and I still can't get it!

Yes, that is definitely the hardest of the hard levels.

Susan · **Posted:** Mon Sep 05, 2005 1:11 am

Is this a legal double-post? Well, if not, I won't do it again. But I just was so excited about this.... and I have to get off the computer in less than 10 minutes.

Color Printer · **Posted:** Mon Sep 05, 2005 1:20 pm

I've beaten all the easy and medium levels and their secret levels.

Hard has me stumped!

By the way, do you have to beat ALL the levels to unlock Final?
