SwitchTile - A New Puzzle for your Touchscreen Device [Android]

[AlexMaass]

Is anybody still playing this? I've recently bought the pro version (this game totally deserves my 1.29€).
My PBs are 0.22 / 3.77 / 12.83 and I average like ~2.5 / ~8.5 / ~18

Gotta catch up to AlexMaass records!

lol yeah I'm still playing this

My PBs:



I've gotten 2.88 before the non pro version came out lol

I made a subreddit for this (http://www.reddit.com/r/SwitchTile/) but its kinda dead now.

I don't even think I'll try anything over 30 again after I'm done, this takes way too long and makes my ring and pinky fingers hurt

55x99 block solved, includes all of yellow

Here's an attempt at a tutorial for my roux method.

It involves making opposite columns, then more columns as you work your way in.

The video demonstrates 6x6 and 8x8 being solved with this method.

Mm, interesting method. Right now mine is pretty much: build one layer at a time, except for the rightmost column, which you use for moving stuff around; then finish the rightmost column; then finish the bottom row.

I mostly use a layer by layer method with some column building involved, and I find that when I use column building for all of it except the top row, my movecount is lower but it takes more time for me to think about what to do. For really large puzzles where speed doesn't matter as much as movecount, using columns is definitely the best way to go.

99x99 progress update: http://prntscr.com/5b4rh4
79 rows are complete, 20 left

Crazy. How much time would you estimate you spent actually solving (as opposed to breaks)?

Probably about 8-10 hours, but I'm not really sure. I switch between working on it and breaks so often that it's hard to tell.

current progress: http://prntscr.com/5b6lag
almost there...

 

[Cale S]

yay I finished it

 

[qqwref]

Wow, crazy. Congrats on a tough record to beat That's a pretty good movecount too.
