Re: Bored at work? Bloxorz

Ok I admit, I have being sucked in too :P

I did most of the early ones with a very minimalist approach, but when I got to Awash.. well I had to go all out :P

Lightbulb Re: Bored at work? Bloxorz

Well I spoke too soon!
I'm stuck on the Tube now. (level 18)

Hay how come when I click on your links it takes me to the front page and not your Solution? and it won't let me see any "other players designs" unless I've finished that level?


I really wanted to see what Grains came up with,
I just can't get the Solution to this Vertical thing.

So Stuck

I have solved the tube on paper during a meeting this morning. I need to get done with work so I can do it.

Re: Bored at work? Bloxorz

Grains' solution will make you sick. It's only 5 pieces iirc. Clicking the link takes you to the start page. Hit start and then click on ok. You should see his solution play out when you press start. And yes, you can only view the other solutions once you beat the level *or* you view someone's solution all the way through (the game then assumes that you have solved that level).
