    No I don't have the orientation locked. Landscaping works fine in other apps.

    @Pantsjo I'm at a loss here... Your configuration is nearly identical to what I have used for testing, and for me it worked (and still works) just fine, no matter how many times I've tried. If restarting the game and going to No. 18 and turning to landscape mode doesn't do it, there's only one more thing to look into, but that involves checking the settings file in the bundle. If you'd like to do that, please send me a message. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

    @karero Here's a hint for No. 96:
    Purple should end up on the top-right section.
    Hope it helps! =)

    A little update on the solving algorithm: Right now it's been working on X6 for nearly 24 hours. It has gotten past the 1 billion tries mark. However, thanks to a brilliant tip from Pantsjo, I have made it skip a lot of moves, so hopefully if will be ready soon and confirm that there is no 11-step solution for X6. For the rest, the only puzzles that showed a better solution than the one in the game are No. 52 (which wasn't properly encoded earlier) and X5. For this one, the only explanation I have is that it took too long to solve using the former algorithm, and I inadvertently stopped it after 9 moves.

    Hi Alex! Thx for the hint. I am still stuck - after playing for hours I kind of concluded it is impossible which it is is obviously not ... the 2 colors are competing for space and I cannot reconcile them :confused:

    I get to here in different variation: purple cannot move up, blue cannot move down.

    One more hint - please :) I have 102 solved now.

    It's a wonderful game - congratulations!
    Best wishes for you next project ...

    @karero, you are so close! It is your first move which is wrong.
    You must have started with A1->A4 and
    only the destination is wrong
    ;)

    This has been been my most played game (terraria a close second) the last few weeks, i started playing in order and purling them all before I moved on but that went out the window at around level 60.

    I left a five star review on iTunes yesterday, sorry it took me so long. I was disappointed that there was only 1 other review on the uk store. Reviews don't go through on my ipad so I do them in batch on my PC.

    Thanks! I think saosijs's hint should help (thanks, mate!), so looking forward to seeing you in Top 5! Way to go! If you are still stuck, feel free to ask and will be glad to help.

    Thanks a lot, cloudpuff! The reviews on the UK store are quite scarce, indeed... So when browsing through them a few hours ago, it was really great to notice yours!

    @Everyone Today I went on to create some new puzzles and I've already got a few that I'm really happy with. I hope to get an update out somewhere in January with 25-30 new puzzles and some features for advanced players (like multiple solution slots).

    Just restarted the game, really wanna finish those X-levels now.

    And there are no good games at the moment so I play this again, see how fast I can complete those normal 100 levels.

    Hey, Roger, it's sooo good to have you back! =)

    Did you somehow lose your progress earlier, when you said you were "Dwelped" out, or just deleted the game to start it over intentionally? Maybe I have missed something?

    No the game has no iCloud, I deleted the game, I do that with all games when they get too hard or I am stuck, I was stuck on level X2 after looking at it for hours Ha Ha.

    But now I will try to beat level X2 and X4,X5 and X6.

    Got it! =)

    I do plan to add iCloud support in a future update. I just want to make sure I do it the right way...

    By the way, I didn't get the "hard" achievements on GC. Could you check if it is a bug, Roundabyte? Thanks!

    I have reviewed the code and, indeed, there was an issue when submitting the achievements for the hard puzzles. I have fixed it now and it will be working in the coming update. Thanks for pointing it out!

    Way to go, Roger! That's some progress! Enjoy the X puzzles! =)

    Can't do X2, I am staring at this level for 5 hours total now, don't know what to do, delete the game again or try a few hours more.

    I encourage you to keep trying. It took me a LONG time, but when you finally get it, it feels SO good!!!

    FWIW, I did finally resort to Roundabyte's clue after several hours of frustration. It still took me quite a while, but there is a relatively small number of possible moves after the first step -- even then, I must have overlooked the "critical" move dozens of times.

    This is certainly one of the best puzzle games I have ever encountered. It has taken many, many enjoyable hours, but I've managed to purple the original 100 plus X1 and X2.

    Still completely stumped on the 15 move solution for 77 though.

    I read Roger's post a bit earlier and just came back to the computer to offer him another hint and I found your note. You are perfectly right, I think Roger is trying over and over the same moves, somewhat blind to that one move that is key to solving it. Pretty much what has happened to me too, not only on this particular puzzle, but on others too.

    Roger, here is the order of moves (as in: purple-blue-etc.), in case you want to use it:
    Purple-Blue-Purple-Purple-Blue-Purple-Blue-Blue (and the first two can be Blue-Purple as well)

    I too encourage you to keep at it, and you'll get there eventually. I don't know if you have used the hint I provided earlier, but if you did, just try to think how can you get to that shape.

    It took me a while to find the 15 move solution too, after the algorithm said it was possible. At first, 12 was the best I could do. Then I got to 14 and no matter how many times I tried, it was only 14 all the time. Then I finally figured out that two moves of the 14 solution can be split into three. It was awesome! =)
