Okay, first get the 8 squares. Then, without making the squares, go down. Then, make 2 more squares on the bottom row. Then make 2 squares upward on the right side ONLY. Right next to the top square, put 1 square next to it. Move left next. Then, do the exact same thing as you did to the right side to the left side now. You have now successfully did it! ♥Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851375293722033460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568527495646751209.post-4260472014073633592016-05-21T23:25:49.282+02:002016-05-21T23:25:49.282+02:00Thanks so much!Thanks so much!Dan Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889732298609617401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568527495646751209.post-41272410763468249042016-05-21T19:58:59.169+02:002016-05-21T19:58:59.169+02:00Dan Harris I congratulate you, this is a big win, ...Dan Harris I congratulate you, this is a big win, and I appreciate that you keep improving!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568527495646751209.post-50757698382073378842016-05-20T15:42:35.781+02:002016-05-20T15:42:35.781+02:00I liked this game a lot.

I have no intention of hiding which levels have alternate solutions from the player, as that would just lead to tedious replaying of levels that only have one solution. The puzzle will be finding the solutions, not locating them.<br /><br />As for whether there will be a web-based version of the full game, I'm not sure yet. It's currently planned for Windows, Mac, and Linux. I do also intend to offer it outside of Steam, such as on Itchio or the Humble Store.Dan Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889732298609617401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568527495646751209.post-48909846048775466382016-05-19T17:39:35.534+02:002016-05-19T17:39:35.534+02:00I think it's a great idea to use multiple solu...I think it's a great idea to use multiple solutions as doors to different levels !<br /><br />In that regard, I would suggest that you consider providing a comprehensive level map that allows players to keep track of what they have already explored and gives them a hint at what they might have missed.<br /><br />I voted on your Greenlight page already.

And great catch with the alternate Level 30 solution!<br /><br />It certainly is difficult to make levels with a single solution -- this is a fact I'm actually embracing with the expanded version of Theseus. Many levels will have multiple intended solutions, and you'll be taken to a different next level based on which solution you find. You'll be able to replay levels in order to find the other solutions and explore more of the game world.<br /><br />I'm working on a post about this design challenge. That and other updates on the game will be found on its Steam Greenlight page: <a href="http://bit.ly/TheseusGreenlight" rel="nofollow">bit.ly/TheseusGreenlight</a>. Please share that link around -- the game needs all the support it can get to make it onto Steam!Dan Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889732298609617401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4568527495646751209.post-63799084902368589032016-05-19T12:10:21.516+02:002016-05-19T12:10:21.516+02:00Dan, there is also two different, albeit very simi...Dan, there is also two different, albeit very similar solutions to level 30 : on the last split, you can choose to end with a 5-block vertical bar instead of a 6-block one.

...Hi! This is Dan Harris, the creator of Theseus. <br /><br />Thank you all so much for playing my game and working through the puzzles together. It's amazing to read and watch all of it.<br /><br />I've just updated the game to add arrow buttons that let you skip between levels. You can now get back to where you left off, or skip a level you're stuck on.<br /><br />Finally, <b>I'm working on a vastly expanded version of Theseus, and it's now on Steam Greenlight!</b> If you enjoyed playing this version, it would mean <i>so much</i> to me if you'd vote for Theseus on Greenlight, and share this link with anyone else who might be interested in seeing a full version on Steam: <a href="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=684652823" rel="nofollow">http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=684652823</a><br /><br />You can also find me on Twitter @themeorch.
