Yeah, #2 is too difficult to be the second puzzle. It took me a long time to find the solution. It's going to be moved or replaced.

My best tries so far end with 2 pieces on opposing sides of the middle hole. But I haven't given up on it yet

This is a neat little mini-game. I really suck at the later levels, but that is my own fault. The competition is really being dominated by 2600 entries this year - it is going to be very interesting to see how we all do!

 

Have you though about a SuDoku game as your next project? It would requirew a 9x9 grid though ...

 

Cheers,

Looks very nice. I like it!

Hi there!

 

Gave up on the 2nd one. But I just got the 3rd on my second try

That's good to work on other puzzles. When you solve some more I bet you'll want to get back to #2. I've found that #2 is one of the most difficult in the whole set. I've analyzed it and found that you have to get the first two moves right to have any chance of winning.

 

I am probably going to replace #2 because the shape can trivially be derived from the spiral shaped puzzle #9.

Thanks Chris. It just takes patience and persistence to solve the more difficult puzzles.

I actually have thought about Sudoku. This is what I've come up with so far:

 

 

So many boardgames, so little time.

I just thought of something the other way round with #5: It's just natural to start it with removing the 4 edge pieces, so basically the puzzle could just start with the smaller version straight away

 

Other than that, I really liked #5

Great - it looks like that should be possible with the standard 48-pixel sprite trick. I hope you manage to make some progress on this. I have got really addicted to The Times Su Doku Puzzles lately. I thought about doing a 2600 version myself, but I've got too many other projects on the go at the moment.

In case you missed it, I've posted a new set of puzzles to the homebrew forum.

As stated elsewhere, Marble Jumper is now finished and has been submitted to the 2005 Minigame Competition. It was also given the honor of a place in the 2005 Minigame Multicart along side such excellent games as Hunchy, Jetman, Nightrider, Rocket Command, Zirconium, and M4. It will be available for purchase from AtariAge at vgXpo Philadelphia this weekend, and online shortly thereafter. I've been programming for the VCS since early 2003, and this is my first published homebrew. Naturally, I'm excited.
