Ok, that's great, I'm glad that you're all listening!
I had to complain. Just because it was necessary that SOMEONE - whoever - would complain.
I really hope that things will turn out fine.
Tom, thanks again for this superbe game! |

Nobody is banned or blocked, I just ran out of disk space as I often do. It's fixed now. |

I can't upload, either. Must have made someone mad. Okay, daddy, I'm sorry. Can I get out of my time-out, now??? |
| |
I have a problem: I can't load any levels up anymore! I've already the newest version of Escape! But when I try to load something up, I get an error message, telling me "Upload failed: Fail (bug) bad level"! I thought the name maybe was used before, but there's no level called "Another Nameless Silly Bomb Puzzle"!!! ;S
Other levels also dont work!!! :( |

Maybe I'll take that challenge! Most of the levels I can beat in two or three tries, so most of that 2 hours would be spent retrying the problem levels like q3dm18. ;) |

Here I am, talking to myself and leaving comments just for fun - or just for me. |

Really? Self-upgrade has been around since almost the first version of Escape. Animation is comparatively new... |
| |
On an earlier post by an anonymous person, he or she said they couldn't update Escape. I've heard of an "older" version on a downloads site (tucows.com) and the version there has no animation, unable to get new levels, or even upgrade Escape! Maybe that's the problem... |

It's just a quote, buddy. The scientific model of evolution in no way relies on drawings for proof. We have much better methods than that. |

Yeah, and let's not forget that Ernst Haeckel is the person who faked the drawings of embryos that have been used for a century now to "prove" evolution... |

Ok, I'll try to get hints by leaving comments.
I only did rate that way once, I'm sorry that I did so, but I just couldn't believe that there was a rating 10-10-10 for such a "crummy" level.
I'll keep on asking for hints! (-; |

You should probably rate based on what you think the actual rating is, not based on whether you think the level is under- or over-rated as it is. Especially the crummy levels will get lots of ratings since they're so easy to solve, and that means that bad ratings will be lost among all the accurate ratings. But that's just my advice; ratings will always be an approximate thing so there's not much use obsessing over their accuracy.
If you want hints on some levels, how about leaving a comment asking for a hint? I can speak from experience that once you peek at solutions it pretty much ruins the game--so I intend to keep them under wraps as best as possible. |

I didn't rate my levels yet and I guess I won't. I think I would give them the more ore less average rating that appears by now, so why should I rate them? It would indicate that one more player had solved the levels - what in fact wouldn't be very true.
Very recently I solved one of those very simple levels, but before rating, I discovered that only one player had already solved the level, but had rated it 10-10-10. So I had to give the level a 0-0-0... That was before I knew we could rate our own levels, and I thought that someone must have made a fried give him a wonderful rating for a really boring level.
BTW: there are those 66 ngrhhhh... levels left that I'm absolutely totally unable to solve. I can't! And I just kind of feel like giving up 'cause even leaving those levels for weeks or months would not help, I'm turning around in circles and there seems to be no way out. So my question is: will we get the solutions one day? Or some clues? Or shall we have to live for the rest of our days with all those ngrhhhh... levels unsolved????? (-;
(I'm aware of the fact that this is part of the game and even part of the fun, but still - imaging all those people in heaven, still thinking about those ngrhhhh... puzzles!)

Well my question is about finding one in your basement floor. Like actually coming up out of the cement. It wasn't there a few days ago, but it's about 5 inches in diameter. We constantly have our dehumidifier going in the basement, but it's not able to dry it all up completely. We rent, but our landlord is both careless and clueless. If it's coming out of the cement, what's that indicative of? Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. We have a 3 year old, and I'm not sure if it's putting stuff into the air that's unsafe. Thanks!! |

I think the best technique for making a level unsolvable is to make the solution from a previous level be required, basically by making it a mini-puzzle within the bigger puzzle. But it's not fun to repeat yourself, really. If you can figure out how to leave "clues", go for it! Anyway, I think that a series based on the zodiac is a great idea. Start small...
The global rating is the mean of all votes. It only updates in-game when someone uploads a new level, because I haven't yet written the code that updates it every evening. But the ratings on the web page are always current. When you re-rate a level, it just replaces your old rating; each player only gets one vote per level.
BTW, I still think it's okay to rate one's own level. I'd say, if you feel comfortable giving a fair rating, do so. But many people also choose not to rate their own levels, which is also just fine. |

I have been thinking on a zodiac series. Where solving the first (signs) puzzels gives the solution for the final. Making the final impossible to solve without clues. As impossible as possible. The question is how to make a leval that gives the clues only when solved? Also is the global rating calculated using standard average? Will only one number per player be used to calculate?
Kirima:
I apologize for rating my own level. I was just excited to have finally made a good one. I tried to be a fair as I could but of course I am bias. |
