  1. This was cute but pretty straightforward... except for 16 which really seems impossible. Anyone have a hint for 16?

  2. Fairly straightforward due to the timers.
    Had a bit of a time on 20.

    Thanks for posting.

  4. Hi, AB, level 16 took me a lot of time too. I am struggling to think of a good hint that does not give away too much. But one of the two lava sources you need to cover up is the right one and you have to think of a path that will bring you as close to the dot as possible before the lava gets released.

  5. And to continue on with a pseudo hint for 16:

  6. This game was shorter than expected from this series.

  7. I almost gave up on Level 2 when I read the comments here and, from them, realized you can move the riveted blocks. I thought they where just immobile obstacles.

    Maybe I'm just old, but I miss the days when games included some instructions.

  8. Same on level 2! Also some of the mechanics were inconsistent. If the lava moves at each step and you have this scenario: the lava is coming down a path and is flush with the wall about to leak out and you are behind a block, and it is one space away, you push the block and it stops it. ?? It should meet you halfway. Similarly if the lava is coming down a path and has already leaked out and you are beside it and behind a block, you can clip it off and it is suddenly blocked. No! It was already out in the open, the next step should leak it further.

  9. Some of the levels were hard. The game was fun enough to make me come back until I had finished the whole thing. Thanks!

  10. Another great game from Robert Alvarez, thank you! :)

    #Stevens Miller: I was also stuck on level 2 for a while. But I knew there must be an easy solution, since it is only level 2! Reading this forum helped me too. :-) These type of games don't have instructions on purpose: that is the point, we have to figure out the rules, it is part of the play. :-)

  11. LAVA is MORE

    Robert's games are usually hard for me (I have no patience) but I do like them a lot.
