I find it really funny that 'chf back' & 'chf left' are more efficient 'set false' commands than 'set false,' but 'set true' is more efficient than 'chf forth'
This game's save function works fine, but if you play using the itch.io app's sandbox function, it opens using data in your active user profile (which will be none) and then writes to the sandbox profile. I imagine this isn't something you can really fix, but it's unfortunate nonetheless.
I can think of a billion ways to do the 2nd puzzle in the 2nd batch if we had an accumulator or register and a way to track units moved... I was like "Maybe if I pushed them all to the top, then looped pulling them back 1 at a time..." but there's no way to set a register for looping. IDK how to math when you can't math lol
This 2nd set is super brutal... I can't beat any of the puzzles 😂. GG
ha, yep. There are much more efficient solutions in the early levels with the new command. Someone actually programmed a solution finder that brute force searches using a single loop and variations of the secret(ish) instruction.
lol your demo screenshot shows a ROT command. That would have been handy for a few solutions lol. I guess it was too easy to cheese your way through with it, though 😂
[EDIT] I just realized you can use FCE RIGHT to basically do the same thing... d'oh

Yea sorry about that. Not something I think I can control with pico8.
That's pretty much what I expected; not really your fault

You might double check the in game manual, there might be a command or two you missed. :)
:O there is one! And I have no idea what it needs because it doesn't like any of the directions I give it. Hmmmmm
Also: I checked out the Last Call BBS version of this game - well done!
Going through via the Pico-8 cart now, and with what I've learned along the way, I just got the best solution for "Hallways" 😂` 2 lines of code

I think rot was an old command that I removed. lol oops.
Glad to see someone combined zach-like with sokoban.
