I know what you mean. I've thought about it in the past, because a lot of games have that, but I think it turns out being a lot more trouble than it's worth. First, there are a lot of such tiles (2^4 = 16, though we already have the all-empty and all-walls ones). Second, they need to be treated specially because when you have a block on top of one of them it needs to remember that there's a wall there. That kind of behavior currently only happens with panels, and is a large fraction of the complexity of the game and its implementation. It also breaks some symmetries in the game that I think are desirable (and that are used in the implementation). But more importantly, I think all the functionality you'd want from them is already available in the game, either by making extra-sized walls out of rough tiles, or using tricks with panels, etc. So, there's not much need for them really.
BTW, the same goes for one-way tiles like in Adventures of Lolo and DROD and a bunch of other tile puzzle games. You can actually even see graphics for those that I drew in tiles.png, though I decided not to implement them. |

Thank you Matt and heartsuit! |
| |
Ah... I also got an "idea". Perhaps you should have like thin walls, walls that go inbetween tiles. |
| |
Time to start again! Also, the game is great! Best puzzle game I've played.

Oh, that's too bad! =( |
| |
Sorry, by "right side", I apparently meant "left side", as is my longstanding convention. |
| |
For some reason, I just assumed from the photo that you only had the one inverse mutton chop on the right side (perhaps because I'm so accustomed to thinking of you as one who minimizes his hair). You can imagine how this asymmetry increased the ridiculousness of the look, even if not present in reality. |

No, for about a year, my computer didn't have internet. I had Escape though, I downloaded it from another computer and brought it to this one. In about 5 months I created about 72 levels (Only about 15 good ones). I stopped playing Escape for a while. My computer was running out of space, so I deleted a lot of stuff. I came back and realize Escape was gone. I never had the chance to upload some of them. So, there's nothing I can do about it. I was just whining. |

What do you mean you lost them? You updated and they're gone? They were probably moved to minor leagues. Just subscribe to that collection in the level updater and look for them there. I almost never delete levels permanently. |
| |
Well, I had no internet for a while, and all I really had was escape. I didn't play it for a while, and now, I lost 72 levels! AHHH! They were brilliant!

j: First, you gotta look really good. Second, be taking off your clothes. Third, subtle "thumbs up." |

How do you achieve the "GQ effect" |
| |
That is amazing.
So is the subtle "thumbs up". |
| |
Hooray for Song of the Month being back! |
| |
Song from the Goog is excellent stuff.
And boy do I ever know what you mean about Am F C G. Also "Say it Ain't So"/"737 prechorus"/"III-instead-of-iii variant of measures 3,4,5,6 of pachelbel's canon" Am E F C. |

That sounds like I'll need it! :) |

Any hope yet for the digitization of Then Come The Chunks? |

at first I thought they were some kind of worm because they move, they don't stay in one place and when you first find them, you only find one and you think its a noodle or something and you wonder how it got there and then after few days pass you start finding more and more and when you see them they just give you a sick like somethings wrong bad feeling inside |
