no, my hint indicates this isn’t what you are trying to do. the hint references another level with the same type of key move you need, did you understand what i was referring to in that other level?
the level is harder now, still possible. we intentionally left it easier with a floor there originally, but there turned out to be an unintended solution so it had to be buffed to prevent that. i think the hints i gave are enough, did you read the “>…further hint” inside the first hint?
here's my hint for level 8:
it looks like you should figure out the sequence of actions to solve level 8, but actually you need to continue figuring out mechanics. if it seems impossible you have an incomplete understanding.
further hint:
when you solve the first 7 levels, there are probably still 6 or so mechanics you don't know or correctly understand.
did you solve the other levels? you should join the snakefall server if you were interested enough to play through these games, i think the best snakefall levels are much better
This is great! “Tetris” has cheese, you can raise the right platform and target by 2 which forces what I think was intended, or maybe add a second target on top of the first which would make it very different. Several of the early ch4 levels seem loose, maybe they are supposed to be introductory but most of them were things that had appeared already.
Looking at a walkthrough for a level you are stuck on is a slippery slope that quickly leads to looking up the solution for every level that poses some resistance, even ones you could have solved. Imo its better to make this process have a lot of friction so people don’t readily use it, by making them scrub through a let’s play (one exists) or have to ask and wait for a reply.
got 4B by being lazy and going down to 1 to open all the doors, 10B seems like a good challenge but my wrist is already in pain going back and forth so many times. if you had click-to-pathfind-there that would be much better.
1.4874^10 (written this way as a spoiler) is the max score with regular knight movement, and you can trivially get any score below that by starting n moves into the path. It seems like a different movement shape also maxes out at the same score, i wish it were slightly higher.
its not “you can normally move but stay in place sometimes”, but actually “you don’t normally move but can sometimes”, that might help you figure it out
seems to happen sometimes on mobile, or on pc when chrome isnt updated. people tend to have better luck with saving on the lexaloffle page than itch, though i suspect this is a weird chrome security policy about filesystem use when its behind on security updates
you don’t need to fly on 48 or 49, those are just about moving the block sideways without dropping it. in star 4 you need to do that sort of thing but in a way that lets you get back onto red. you were supposed to take the text out of the code block for it to apply the markup formatting but just having a link is ok as anti-spoiler
yeah some other people have had trouble with that in a bad way. ive told werxzy to make an edit to that level to reduce frustration back on may 8th but he hasnt responded, probably busy with something.
the proposed edit isadd a wall 3 left and 1 down of the exit, to make it more obvious some wrong ideas will never work
dont put it in a code block, put the thing you want hidden where “content” is.
i meant for you to explain where you are mentally, like what do you think needs to happen but you cant get to happen. but based on your screenshot i can say this much:
spoilerpush red up by just 1 and get back on top, then repeat, rather than going up 2 in a row
you are right that blue must eat the last fruit. the current hint is about how to do the step you are missing, its about how to get into the position you want but you will have to figure out what that position is yourself
yeah ingame help system is not possible to add due to pico-8 limitations, make do with the hints or spoilers in the comments. getting stuck and overcoming it is a part of the puzzle game experience, its not for everyone
it says right in the title and all over the page that its a demake of snakebird, of course you have seen it before? though this game has several new mechanics and is more like a sequel
