steppin' stones

Try to place one of the stones in the outlined zone in each level by steppin' stones over other stones in this puzzler by Emiel De Graaf.

  1. Well that was easy.

  2. Ummmm............ Can I get some help with level 2?

  3. Nice idea, reasonably original.

    Pretty easy, but with a bit of work could be made into a real game, and then it could be really challenging.

    Say 4 different kinds of tiles, blockers, stars for points, stuff like that.

    Trying to hit that little triangle with the mouse is annoying.

  4. Did anybody else notice that level 2 was the same as another one (level 11, I think) further in the game? I kinda thought it was strangely hard for just the 2nd puzzle...

    Still fun to play, though!

  5. Aw level 8 seems impossible! Any tips? I feel I've tried everything

  6. I'd go back and help with level 8....except that once you finish, apparently you don't have access to the levels unless you start over?? (I'm not willing to do that).

    Is it just me, or does this have the "look and feel" of a Bonte game? A trainee??

  7. You do I've tried it if you hit start it brings you to the level you were last on

  8. Interesting. Once I got past level 2, the rest seemed easy :) Thanks for sharing this with us, Bart!

  9. Made it to level 16, then too sleepy to stick with it. Will try again tomorrow.

    General hints: Start by figuring out which will be the last block you'll need to move. Then figure out how to throw stuff in its path so that you'll get to the finish point. Not just the direction, but also the sequence in which you move the blocks is often critical.

  10. It seems like that difficult level 2 was in fact a bug, as I notice it has been replaced with an easier one!

    Very good game, Bart!

  12. Nice idea, but too easy. Only lvl 16 had been a bit tricky.

  13. I was seriously ready to start crying and complaining because everyone in the comments was saying that the game was easy and all that jazz, I'm like, "Uh...NO. I'm stuck on like levels 2, 3,4,8,10...This game is tough!" And then I went to sleep...After getting ready I got back to the game...and finished in 10 minutes...This game actually was challenging when you weren't paying attention. I paid close attention to where what had to be where to get the 1 stone all the way across. My initial goal was just to get everything set to 0...nope. I like this game, and I might play it again just to make me feel a little smarter than I felt while playing the game the 1st time. :)

  14. Nice game... the logic is not so easy to catch, but when you're thinking the right way it gets funny! :)

  16. very fun. i never did figure out level 2 until they changed it. Now that i've played through the other levels, i wonder if i could beat it

  17. Well you can always try and replay the complete game, since there is an 'erase data' button on the menu screen

  18. That was just the kind of brain exercise I needed!

  21. Jojobean - Here's a hint for level 3. Only one of the stones can possibly reach the target. Working backward from there, only one of the stones can possibly put a stone in its way to allow it to reach the target. Keep working backward from there and you should get it.

  22. i don't see what could possibly be hard about this game there's only one block that can reach the target but it doesn't have enough stepping stones so you have to put other stepping stones in its way. simple.
