Has anyone in the USA received the game yet?  Mail seems to be slower than normal.

I have not, but I also am not in a great hurry for it.  8)

Nice game (I also liked Sokoban back in the days). Only played until level three yesterday, but will play it again when I have more time.

Game arrived the other week.  Got to level 5, but could not get past.

It took me long on level 5, but suddenly I discovered that it is actually pretty easy  :D

Hanging at level 6 now  :(
Title: Re: BOOM BOX - a new release -
Post by: Rafael on December 31, 2017, 09:07:11 PM
When I was working on the game I had problems with several levels, one of them was level 4.
Maybe I make a video with the solution of the puzzles for those who want to get lost in one or the other and want a hive.

I'm more of action game type person, so I'm going to switch back to playing HW.

That's the cool part of the variety. There was a time when I had to choose between "Playschool Math" or "Las Vegas Gambling" ;:) ;:) ;:)

Should I be concerned that my copy has yet to arrive? I didn't get the tracking, so I'm not sure what can be done. I also don't know when it was actually shipped to the US.

Any info would be appreciated.

Hi Scott,
Did you received your package now?
Title: Re: BOOM BOX - a new release -
Post by: daddy_scott on February 05, 2018, 04:41:32 PM
As of the mail from Saturday, I had not.

I'll keep you all in the loop. I'll be at a convention later this week, so it will probably come then. Lol

The shipment has been sent but without tracking (as you requested) I can not say more.
I hope it will arrive soon.

I know. I was just being frugal by opting out of the tracking. That'll teach me. :D

As I may or may not have said, I'm deep into my doctoral dissertation, so I wouldn't be playing it right away. More just curious about possibly when it will arrive. I have faith that it will get here at some point.

It took about 2 weeks for me to get my game and I did the untracked option as well.
Dont worry it will show up!  This is a fun game, and I enjoy how you must map out every move in advance.
Very cerebral game. Kudos guys!

I can not get past level 4... I am about ready to ask you guys for help, but not yet! ???

I'm sure it will get here. I've loved this game in other platforms, so I'm sure I will love this one too.

I've said I was going to do this, but lately I have not been in good shape. I'll try to come up with the solution later.

I´ll try to do more:

Here´s levels 3 and 4 solution:

Post by: tigerinatlanta on February 15, 2018, 08:33:58 PM
Thanks Rafael.. On stage 4 I was using the first move correctly, but could never create enough space to hit the corners.. Now I know!

What is the furtherest stage that anyone has advanced on here?

Do the EU and US releases have different roms?
Asking because I am starting to run out of plus boxes.

Run out of "plus"boxes ... that's the reason why my next release "Spaceman Splorf: Planet of Doom" will be UK Videopac style.  :)
Concerning the "Boom Box" rom, Rafael or René will answer.

Post by: Janzl on April 10, 2018, 01:03:27 PM
SpaceMan Splorf by Vanja Utne. I have the C64 release. She posted some Videopac screenshots online a while ago. Funny little game with great graphics and music on the C64. I thought she was also going to release it for the Atari 2600.

Good thing you're starting to release games as UK VP editions!  8)
Title: Re: BOOM BOX - a new release -
Post by: Tom Beck on April 10, 2018, 06:16:37 PM
I am also very happy, that the next release need no "plus" box. We need somebody, who make new ones.  ;D

And Spaceman Splorf is a great looking game. I really love the Spaceman Splorf Sprite and the whole game.

You could see the game in action here....:
