Re: Psychopath Thread

It's a toughie because unlike other levels, it's not just a matter of "optimize this part and now it's safe to go to and fro." Optimizing the shortcut fully up front will waste moves, as will waiting till the last minute. It's like an optimization you build over time which *also* saves you the most moves in the process. Trippy. X_X

Yeah. Some of the later levels are actually more complicated than this, but a lot of new stuff is thrown at you in 54, in combination with the fact that it's the 2nd (lol) longest level in the game...


Statistically speaking, there is worse to come. The hardest levels are:

66 1.4%
68 1.4%
54 1.6%
70 1.7%
55 1.8%
71 2.2%
65 2.2%
53 2.3%

Which is interesting, in part because we originally were going to make 66 level 69 but moved it down because I improved Amelio's path like 3rd try and found it pretty easy, but apparently this one gives people a lot of trouble. 68 is certainly a beast though.

70 is my favorite level that I've made. Enjoy, when you get to it.

Re: Psychopath Thread

How did I not know about this game earlier? This reminds me so much of Chip's Challenge. Just got to Level 26 and working my way up.

Re: Psychopath Thread

Fun game; kinda reminds me of Sokoban. Dunno if anyone's tried that, haha.

On Level 23. Slowly getting there...

Re: Psychopath Thread

Sokoban can be fun but personally I always found it a bit tedious. The levels where you just have a ton of blocks to push into a field of goals are just boring and way too easy to mess up if you ask me. Plus, I like the somewhat competitive aspect of Psychopath where you have to think about optimality

There are some really clever small Sokoban puzzles though - those can be really interesting to solve. The mathematical/statistical properties of Sokoban are also really cool to look into. A lot of the normal puzzles are just boring though. Incidentally, I think I remember seeing a Sokoban puzzle construction which takes an exponential number of moves relative to the number of blocks ;o

Re: Psychopath Thread

oh man, Chip's Challenge... good times

wasted so many hours on that as a kid <3

[i love you]

Re: Psychopath Thread

Solved 55! Only took 4 hours! All i have to say about this one is this: THE MOST BULLSHIT PATH EVER LMAO

Well now, i think i can take a break now since i heard that the rest will be a breeze until like 65 or something

Re: Psychopath Thread

Wow this game is awesome! I just got to level 30 and I'm stopping for today.

Re: Psychopath Thread

Level 30 is the first "test" :3 After that it's generally smooth sailing until the upper 40's when you hit the first Raszlo levels. Then the game really begins

Re: Psychopath Thread

Damn that solution to 55. It seems kind of obvious now but the # of permutations for that level is too damn high. Saving a SS of that one so I never have to figure it out again. LOL

Will burn through some more levels later ;D Looking forward to revisiting some of the juicy ones later on.

In the meantime, water bottle.

Edit: does the server still save levels? doesn't look like it.

Re: Psychopath Thread

Re: Psychopath Thread

Re: Psychopath Thread
