Hey, old friends! It's been a while! I wanted to pop in to share a PuzzleScript game I made. It's called Imbue. Check it out!

https://wryandbeary.itch.io/imbue



It's not pretty, but it was fun to make. It's got 20 core puzzle levels, a "revisitable" hub world, and a few surprising solutions along the way.

There haven't been many eyeballs on this yet, so I'd love it if you all could do your Caravel Forum thing and hunt out bugs and unintended solutions with terrifying speed and laser accuracy.

I hope y'all are well. I miss the heyday of this place!

Oh, but a bug:

With sticky/strong boxes you can push two at a time. Strong boxes on their own only push the furthest box. Turns out not to be a problem, but it did trip me up for a bit.

Not a bug! Good observation - it's worth thinking about why that might happen and remembering it for later. Thanks for playing!

Your Slippery 3 US is clever! Good find. I like it enough as an alternate solution that it's worth keeping.

Fun game! What is the intended solution for Slippery 1?

×If it's to dis-assemble then re-assemble a new slippery crate, it's unnecessary. You can push the original slippery crate around the room and get it off track with a regular crate, as seems to be intended. But instead of dis-assembling the slippery crate, you can push the other crate to the top part of the room directly above it, push the slippery crate up, move the regular crate aside, push the slippery crate down, and then move the regular crate from up top back down to solve the level.

Ah darn, I never saw that solution. Definitely not the intent. Not a big deal, since that stage is the intro to the mechanic. I did want to ensure that every level required use of the machine, though, and this is the first unintended solution I've heard of in any stage that skips it. Maybe I'll update the level with a deep hole on the tile directly underneath the source tile. Thanks for the report.

My intended solution

I haven't really visited this forum in years, other than popping in once or twice to see if there has been an Entry Point update.. but I do remember that anything RoboBob3000 was interested in generally interested me too

Only just started playing through this but definitely interesting to date. My only note is that you may want to reduce the repeat rate on keys slightly, since I often find myself moving twice and having to undo a step.
