wow stuck on level 33.

In case you were looking for solution: https://streamable.com/grfael

Interestingly enough, that video shows a level that is similar but not identical to the one I could not (and thus far cannot) win:

Apart from it being a mirror image (and I guess rotated), the starting positions differ.

I suspect it is, in fact, not solvable.

What if you do this (w.r.t screenshot image):

* Orange right

* Green down

* Green left

Really fun game, was able to get the optimal solution of the first 37 levels, but level 38 really got me stumped! Been trying for maybe 10 minutes and can't even solve it no matter how many moves I do. What would also be a fun exercise to write like a solver script where you basically try to brute force every puzzle. I'm sure you can get the optimal solution very quickly at least in these 4x4 grid games and only 2 ba…

Did you solve it? I didn't. Buy you can skip to the next level ;)

It isn't solvable, I am willing to put money on it. Not proven rigorously, but mentally one can set up the balls in the final positions and run the puzzle in reverse. the rules change as they can only move orthogonal to a wall or ball they can "push" off, then you can see they can't end up in any configuration which is reachable in the start state, running the normal rules. Keen to hear if if I am wrong OP, but with me andy friend both having 30 and 15 plus minutes respectively, I would imagine we have gone through every possible configuration by now

Nice. Sokoban nostalgia says Hi :) Some nits and comments if I may. * Don't count moving stones as an actual move until the stone is released. I am on a PC and if I click-and-hold a stone and then move it back and forth, each move is counted even though I haven't released the mouse button yet. This is somewhat counter-intuitive and unexpected. * Put the light source at the top. You have it at the bottom and this resu…

Keyboard control with optional highlight of a current piece is available at https://kuboble.com/beta/

it works with mouse or Tab for piece selection. arrows for moves, and backspace for undo

I managed that one not too bad. The trick is putting the marker nearest the bottom against the bottom wall (playing it in high contrast mode that's the black one). Then shooting the other one around in a C-shape to get back into it's spot.

Now 36 I can't get in 13 moves and I'm stumped!

Stuck on 36 too! 14 moves no matter how much I think about it!
