Sleepless

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Sleepless

Post by Zacariaz »

I know what you think, it isn't the first time I complain about the fact that i have difficulty sleeping, but this is different.

I couldn't sleep (obiously), so I did what any sane person would do. I typed in the address "sleepless.com" in my browser, but instead of find a big sleeping pill I found something else.
POGOMAN!
I think it's my favorite game of all time, at least for now, I've reached level 11 so far (and had great difficulty in doing so) and I can safely say that it is the exact opposit of a sleeping pill.
Anyway, here is the link. Download the game to be able to play all 50 levels.

Anyway, I challence all of you to waste your time better than me. :twisted:

Edit:
The game, of course, is for windows, but to those who don't have access to a windows machine, i doubt it will be very difficult to get it running in Wine or simular.

Wow, it installed and seemingly works seamlessly on wine. (0.9.55) Go wine.

By the way, IIRC, there's a game like this for Linux. (gnome\kde?)

There's a few games like this for linux, KSokoban, Klotski (got to rearrange the blocks so that one block can get to a spefic place. And is a fun game to play). katomic, (in which the object is to assemble a molecule from its atoms on a Sokoban-like board).

Has anyone ever played Supaplex? That's the only maze game I ever really liked, and I'm proud of having finished all of it's 111 levels. :D If I ever manage to get my OS up and running, Supaplex will be the first application I will port to it. :P If you really like this kind of challenging games, you should try it.

I stalled allready at level 3 or something, but that graphics is acting up, it looks, well, i k´just couldn't stand it. also the game is lagging, at times it stalles for at few seconds which is really annoying. Lastly i just don't think it's very good game, but hey, theres a lot of game i don't like.

As for pogoman, I'm stuck at level 17, if anybody should have a hint for me.

Å upaplex? Yeah, I remember the red smiley face back in 486 days (for me it was 1999 :lol:), but I was not that type to play games like that. And if there was any need to play logic games, KRT was the answer, but I've played only the DOS version.

As for challenging games, I dare you, zaleschiemilgabriel, to beat me in CS 1.6! 8) (shotguns powa) :)

VICTORY IS MINE!
I solved level 17. I also found out that while the game is free the solutions are not, which is pretty odd I think.

Of course not. I have only solved 20 levels, which has consumed 4-6 hours of my time the last couple of days. (In total that is)

For now I'm stuck at level 21.
