OK, seriously, 43 is impossible. I have a watertight logical proof of this. The only possibility is that this is a giant conspiracy and you're all saying you've done it just to fool me.

(No, I don't want a hint You can't give a hint for an impossible puzzle anyway )

Are you still stuck RoboBob? That might make me feel a little better.. please be stuck..

Still stuck. It's a conspiracy. I'd be willing to bounce assumptions off of you.

Maybe while you guys are mulling it over you can give me a hint for level 30

I'm pretty sure I understand what the general principle is - somehow I have to get the lower right-facing red block on top of an up-facing red bloomed block so that the right-red-block blooms, which will allow me to put the other two up-red-blocks on the tower, which will finally allow me to get the top right-red-block to bloom and slide it over to the red block trapped in that cubby.

However, I can't seem to get the blue block to bloom no matter how I try to slide it over or push it up, with only the help of the yellow blocks. I've made great successes when I've brought the top right-red-block down to the bottom level, but of course that compromises my ability to get that trapped red block bloomed.

Can I have a general hint about what kind of strategy I should be following? I'm pretty sure I just need to get the right-red-block into the tower, instead of getting a tower that's somehow 1 square short and I can somehow push up 1 square.

-

I can also provide pictures of what I'm trying in case that would help.

I was stuck there for quite a while, and recognise some of your thoughts there, though whether you're finding the critical steps is hard to tell. (Pictures may help.)

Does this little hint help at all:



(I can think of a few more specific hints, just trying to give away as little as possible while still being helpful )

×The blue block was the very last flower to bloom in my solution.

That was the last level. I think 47 is the hardest. Really nice game!

I'm up to level 33 now. I haven't gotten stuck as badly anywhere else as I did with level 20, but I've gotten slower and slower at it. The good part of this is that the game is set to provide me enjoyment for a long time yet, though

Up to level 43 ... and totally stumped. Count me in the "how the heck is this possible!?" group.

Thanks for the hints! I managed to get level 30 completed. Here's hoping I don't get stuck too badly on level 33 when I get to it...

The 30+ levels have been for the most part not difficult for me--in fact they felt easier than some in 20 to 29 range--until I hit 37. The level in question has, let's put it this way, a lot of possibilities. I'm not asking for a hint, yet, but it's got me stumped as to how to actually simultaneously execute all the fine sub-plans I've made

Okay, I'd like a hint for 37 please. I've tried my best, but I can't make both all the blue and all the red blocks bloom at the same time. I've only managed them separately. How did you do it?

Thanks. I needed all the hints to overcome the foolish assumption that I had made. As it turns out, it really is not a complicated level, but I made it so.

Happily, I am now on level 43, and will continue from there come the next Hanano session.

(Level 38 made me smile, though it was among the easiest in the high numbered levels so far. It was just inexplicably amusing tos ee in action.)

I have reached the infamous level 43 as well, and it's a tough one. I might end up asking for help on it later, but right now I'm plugging away at it, trying to come up with a good approach. I think I know what I need to do in order to bloom the blue block but am just working out a way to get that to happen.

I admit, I cannot figure out 35. Can I have help? I know that there must be something I'm missing, but I have no idea what it is.

Ok, so I cleared this, and I absolutely loved it!

It has definitely got some of the cleanest and most polished puzzles I've seen in a long while.

I like the difficulty curve, and the level of satisfaction after you beat a room is just huge.

Highly recommended, but I guess everyone else here is playing it already

Hmm … I really need some hints and/or a solution for level 43. I'm stuck like a stick in a pile of manure, as we say in my part of Sweden.

Vilken del är det? Skåne?

Ok, hints in English, as someone else might want them

Vilken del är det? Skåne? (Which part [of Sweden] is it? Scania?) No, it's Skaraborg (Northern Westrogothia). "Den sitter som en pinne i skit (alt. gödselstacken)". D.v.s. den sitter stadigt.

On the hints: I already know that much. The problem is to get enough lift when the steps you describe are done. Oh, well … I'll keep trying

[EDIT]: The power of posting. I cleared the level

That was a really nice puzzle. Thanks for the help. Now I've got 49 to tackle next, since 48 was kind of easy. I hope I won't be needing help with it--gotta give it a serious go first

My mistake with 47 was thinking that I could not possibly bridge all the gaps if I use the strategy that turned out to be the right one. They are, uh, bridgeable all right.

I'm stuck on Level 36, not because there are too many things to try but hardly any and they don't work. Can anyone help?

I'm sure you already know the goal of the room, and about what the room should look like when you're finished, but there are a bunch of intermediate steps to the room.

I don't know which part you're having trouble with, but did you already figure out that, after blooming the yellow stone at the bottom to raise the blue stone upwards, it's possible to swap it with the short gray block again so the tall gray stone falls down to widen the niche up top from 1x1 to 1x2?

If you ask me whether something specific is possible or impossible, I can tell you that, or I can give you hints about my solution's path.

Yeah--My problem is getting the wide grey stone to fill that hole without either blooming the red one which I need to drop on the right, or else having that red one in its way.
