Your task is to knock down all the dominoes to raise the flag at the goal. The levels are getting more and more difficult. Good luck! :)

Nice game, but level 10 was far as I could get. To much dominoes to far away one from another.

Hi there!

Good luck to everyone who had a go at the game. To let you know there are 30 levels and 2 hidden levels to find the passwords to.

Also, don't forget to have a go at the level editor and post your creations here too!

It's a very addicting game.

Yeah, level 10 was tough. Currently at level 23.
How do you find the passwords to the hidden levels?

The First Door

10-08-2007, 09:42 PM

The passwords to the hidden levels are to do with the competition for which it was entered. I'm sure you'll find them without too much trouble!

Very nice game so far :D

Thanks! It was a bit surprising, I was coming over here to submit the game and saw the name of it already in the forum! Gave me a bit of a surprise!

I'm glad you like the game. I'm going to try and get somewhere people can exchange levels to challenge each other going soon. I think once people have somewhere to do that, they'll use the editor more!

Anyway, hope you all enjoy the change of style! For now, at least.

Completely stuck at level 28 :(

Edit: Got it!
Somehow I get the feeling this isn't the way it's supposed to be beaten, though.
I didn't use the bomb, the two UFOs, two of the timers, and two of the balls.

Edit2: I give up! Level 30 is just impossible. Any help would be appreciated if anyone else gets that far.

Can anyone tell me how to get through level 13? There just seems to be too much space between them, and not enough blocks to place.

You see, this forum is quicker even than creators of games - we post games before they're even finished :P just kidding :laughSMILE:
Actually, if I had answered TFD's PM directly I would have been submitted 3 hours before Mystery did. So blame it on me. :$ :P

Can anyone tell me how to get through level 13? There just seems to be too much space between them, and not enough blocks to place.
PM me the level code, and I'll help. (Goes for everyone)
Unfortunately I only wrote down the codes for levels 28-30.

General hint: If you build a staircase the same block will "walk" all the way down. The size of each drop doesn't matter.

Or did you mean floor pieces. In that case, special boxes (balloons, timers, etc) can be stacked on floor pieces to raise the level. (eg. to fill out a gap for a ball to roll accross).

I know these hints are fairly obvious, but without seeing the level or knowing more, it's all I've got.

I'm stuck on 22. Anybody that far that can help me? I'll send the password if necessary.

Arch7

10-09-2007, 06:02 PM

Sure, I can help. As I said previously, I only have the last 3 passwords, so you'll need to PM me.

Of course I expect some help in return, when you reach level 30 ;)... I'm still stuck on that one... I've spent longer on that than the rest of the game combined, and I'm getting convinced that it actually is impossible.

jack

10-09-2007, 06:05 PM

Thanks, PM sent. If I get to 30 I will be glad to help.

Ack, I got it NVM. I feel stupid now. 23 was nice and easy compared to 22 for me. Think I'm going to take a break before I even attempt 24 though.

Arch7

10-09-2007, 06:25 PM

Ups, sorry... replied to PM before I came here.

Hi guys, I've uploaded a new custom level from someone onto the Sky Blocs site:
http://www.thefirstdoor.co.uk/SkyBlocs/HomePage.htm

There should be another one coming soon!

Cool level. 2 leftover pieces.

Edit:

Here's a new level by me. I think it should prove quite difficult. Let me know if you solve it! For the intended solution all pieces are required, so especially let me know if you solve it with less pieces.

I'll give hints here if required.

Hi everyone!

Just to let you know that I've been selected to go through to the final voting stage over at jayisgames (http://jayisgames.com/). Voting has begun, so if anybody liked this game, I would love to hear your support over there!

Thanks again!

Game is great however everytime I raise a flag the sound effect is something I have heard before in another game. It is driving my crazy trying to think of where. So I am pleading before this noble court of gamers to think of it for me.

I remember now. Its the jackpot screen from Club Pogo.

What is the code for leve l 8 i will help

Arch7

11-04-2007, 07:25 PM

Here's some help for levels 8-10. They are quite detailed (spoilerish), so make sure you've tried on your own first. If you still can't solve the level, I've got screenshots of the solutions. I don't know if I should post them here, so for now, just PM me if you want them.

Level 8:
Start on the far left. Each piece that falls down must set off a balloon to push over the next piece. So for this you need 5 balloons and 5 triangles. However you have 10 balloons... you need to use the last 5 balloons as "filler" to even out the floor.

Level 9:
You need to build a staircase for the piece to "walk" down and set off a balloon to push the ball (using a triangle). The block in the center of the screen might interfere with the staircase, but remember that it doesn't matter how far the piece falls. Any staircase or straight path should make the ball reach its destination.

Level 10:
This level is more technical. First thing you should notice is the symmetry... while not all symmetric levels have an (almost) symmetric solution, a lot of them do. This is one of them.

First thing you need to do, is use the water trough, and set off two balloons which can set off the top flags, as well as push over a piece on their way. Use the bouncy things to make sure they fall in the right direction and the remaining troughs to set off both flags on either side.

On level 9 where did you put the triangle as you need the domino to set the box off and i am a bit stuck.

Arch7

11-04-2007, 09:48 PM

On level 9 where did you put the triangle as you need the domino to set the box off and i am a bit stuck.
You don't need the triangle to set the balloon-box off... just hit the side with the domino. You need to place the triangle 1 about and 1 to the left of the ball, so the balloon will push it.

So on Level 12 I have gotten all to knock down but I am not getting the flag? Can any one help
It sounds like you're losing one or more of your dominos. None of them can leave the screen, crash with other pieces, enter a used water trough, or be eaten by a UFO. Also the nothing can be placed on top of the flag or it can't go up.

Still don't know how to do level 10...
I know where to put the balloons, 4 dominos and 2 of the water troughs but the other things...
The first water trough goes in the center beneath the hole. The reversers go at the very edges of the 3rd row from the bottom. PM me if you want a screenshot.

I am so very confused, i get where to put the box and stuff but i have trouble actually getting the first domino to hit the box due to the random block that wont let me make a straight staircase type thingy. Sorry for being a pain.

You don't have to make a perfect staircase... you can let the domino fall several blocks before placing the next step. That way you can pass under the annoying square in the middle.

Cool. You should try my level... you can find it on the
Levels Page (http://www.thefirstdoor.co.uk/SkyBlocs/LevelsPage.htm) or on page 3 (http://gamershood.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8160&page=3) here.

It's rated "Extreme Difficulty", but there's not a lot going on at once (unlike the Insane one), so I think you'll be able to do it. But it should be a challenge.
Hint: There's a neat "trick" involving a UFO and a bomb :).

Arch7

11-05-2007, 11:01 PM

Enough people have PM'ed me about the levels, that I thought I'd post the solutions here for everyone to view. Note that these are screenshots of the solutions, not just hints, so ony view if you've read the hints and still can't complete them.

Level passwords have obviously been blurred.
