That is not the solution for 13 or 14

the idea you have might be the solution to 14, not 13

Here is a link to my hint list, since it hasn’t been posted in a while: https://itch.io/post/12746349

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.

No, i proved an upper bound that is likely reachable, i couldnt keep track of the bottom right area well enough to be sure

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

i answer one of those questions here, though the other two i give a hint that will help in a different way https://itch.io/post/12746349

no, its not just mirrored. maybe the shape of the rooms of the other level will help you narrow down what you are looking for

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

ah you’re right, that isn’t the intended solution to 43. i’ll inform werxzy

you are correct that you can’t eat it from the top, but incorrect that you can’t go anywhere after eating from below

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.

come on, you asked for the full solution in another comment already, before asking for a further hint

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:

idk what part of the solutions u need help with, explain where you are. put it in a spoiler like this https://itch.io/post/12746436

one of your statements is false
edit: well im not sure if you edited the part i was saying is false but you evidently figured it out within the day

your analysis about ending lengths is correct, and you are in a winnable state still

added a nested hint that explains the first hint https://itch.io/post/12746349

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

added a nested elaboration

ive added a hint that tells you the fruit order, but the first and third hints are way more likely what you are missing

ive added a second hint and reworded the first one slightly

did you check the hints in the comments below? and please people put your hints in spoilers https://itch.io/post/12746436

i added a second hint for J though the first one should be sufficient if you actually read it https://itch.io/post/12746349

you dont need to get across the spikes in any fancy shape

ive added a nested hint, but the first hint should have been sufficient

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

i added a nested hint to that, though the second one gives away a lot of the solution

in your user settings enable “Prefer Markdown input where available.” then the text in the following code block will create the spoiler below.

<details><summary>Title</summary>Content</details>

I don’t believe in giving out the solution to a puzzle, only giving hints that make it easier but still allow you to say you solved it yourself. If you think a hint doesn’t help enough, reply and I will try to improve it.

have some patience and try the remaining ones again. maybe take a break and come back to them with a fresh perspective. ill try making a list of hints but it will take some time, since there are a lot of levels to cover.

ok finished the game, level 8 has extraneous floating pillars, level 16 has unneeded top row of floor. i thought 17 and 24 were excellent. the bug mentioned above was never involved in a solution.

loved the sounds

i suggest adding mouse input, ps+ has that

I made an oversight designing level F1, please don't pick left-facing crowbar.
