I’m Sorry, I Thought We Were All Making Impossible Torture Machines

Hey, turns out, the first level of my game is unsolvable.

Bummer.

It’s true, though. I ran it through an 8 puzzle solver and found out there was no solution. I just made one typo, apparently, that broke the entire thing apart.

If I could, I would fix it, but it’s too late for that. Basically, the game can not be beaten in it’s current state. I apologize for wasting anyone’s time (although not many people have played it, anyway.) It’s ridiculous that just mixing up two numbers in an array can cause this. I could plead for a special competition exemption to fix it, but I don’t see the point. So, go check out my game, and face off with the odds (0:1) by trying to beat it! I mean, hey, Chuck Norris can! http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-23/?action=preview&uid=11003

P.s. If anyone right now is thinking about giving me an “Epic Fail” award for this, you have my approval.

I didn’nt read the last sentence before I clicked on “like” sorry, but it’s ok if your game isn’t beatable. I had some viking game on the c64 that I payed money for and it was so hard I never even finished the first few minutes, so where’s the problem :-)

Why can’t you fix it now? Post-release updates to remove the showstoppers is OK with rules.

I suppose I will put in some kind of post-compo fix.
