Where is the Plus and Squared of the apprentice, journeyman and expert? I don't understand how to get the hard badge done cause I only have access to the Links apprentice, journeyman and expert

Nice game, interesting for sure, that was a good Badge of the Day to complete, not too long and not too hard, on point thanks!

Ok, this is weird. I saw that w4m4w was replying to q00u, but I didn't see the person in Most Recent comments. I then clicked "see all" to check all Most Recent comments and for some reason on that page a comment from q00u about missing the BotD is showing up. I tried refreshing the game page, but it still isn't showing up on the game page, only in the comments page.

After clicking "Play Links" and forwarding the dialog a bit I sort of get the BOTD, i. e. the checkmark in my profile and the points, no blocks though.

Nothing like voting while tired. "Good. Good. Goo-wait! My mouse is over Bad!" At least I caught it after only two, not sure how I mistook the red "Bad" for the green "Good".

I really enjoy this game but I have already completed all of the free ones and so I can only do one big one a day or a couple small ones. This is really annoying and I think there should be an easier way to get coins because I have made several puzzles but have not received any coins because they are "still in moderation".
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
New puzzles are uploaded regularly. If it hasn't been approved and been posted after three months, the "in moderation" means "rejected". For whatever reason, it still says "in moderation" for the ones that are rejected/don't meet the guidelines. However, MBS does occasionally go through the rejected pile to find ones that barely missed having enough votes to be looked at for approval and post any they might post anyway.

No, there is not a way to rescind your votes. Moonberry Studios does (usually) filter the puzzles that have enough Yeses to pass to make sure they don't violate the rules.

hey, is there a way to rescind my acceptance of a puzzle i voted on? i realized what they (through their bad spelling) were actually saying immediately after i clicked on good, and it's completely inappropriate. :/

Monnberry Studios! I see comments about a new version and I'm really excited to hear that! I came to comment to ask if you could ever port the game (perhaps the new one!) to steam?

Nearly all can, their algorithm for it is pretty thorough, and I've only come across a couple out of hundreds that simply are impossible without guessing. Are you talking about the ones from the sets? If so, I can probably help you with that if you tell me which one it is. Try looking a few comments back on mine, I give some advice as well that makes it a lot easier to do the puzzles.

It varies wildly. Can be a day to a few weeks, depending on when they go through the queue. It's multi-stage, though, and they only go through the puzzles that meet a certain amount of upvotes - puzzles without enough upvotes or too many downvotes are placed into a rejection queue automatically by the system.

Sounds like those last three would be a lot easier if you could X out cells on a per-color basis in Plus like you can in Squared.

Also, it's also a STARTING POINT, so don't get too hung up on it. Oftentimes, you can quickly start filling in other squares after finding just two or three next to or close to each other in a vertical/horizontal when originally searching in the opposite direction. Row 15 and 16 is one such scenario. You end up with a square filled in on each that touch each other - you can use that to find squares in the same vertical by counting the colors and seeing where the possibilities are - that combination of colors next to each other can only occur in that spot in the column, and at other times, you'll find that if you look for a combination like that, then look in the same column/row they're matching in, the distance for the next combination of that is too far to fit, and is likely to have enough spaces that you can fill in at least some in that column/row.

Erm, sorry, just a yellow, not sure why I thought red. The row above it is also another good starting point, too. It's not completely impossible. Also, this technique is almost pretty much required for the next puzzle AND the one after that.

dalek - look at the red and pink, check their distances. You'll be able to solve some of those and some of the other colors by doing that. Start with the red, around the middle of the image. Horizontal first, then check verticals. It takes a bit of work to get started, but then everything starts to fall together. Don't necessarily look at the picture as a whole, but look at individual colors when they have a much smaller range than the rest. If it doesn't start at the edge, then look for a row or column where there's that color, and then use that color's starting point as your starting point, and start with that color. Row sixteen is a good one for this, you can get a red and a yellow square with this method. Go up and down every row from there to work on it.

Plus Expert #10 is giving me fits. There's no starting place. Every row and column is 5+ short of going all the way across, only like two columns have even a single term that's bigger than the gap, and those are right in the middle of the puzzle where they could be anywhere in the row.

...oh, goddammit. I have all of Links and Squared done, and I'm more than halfway through Plus... on their website, so it's under a different username. I don't suppose there's an export/import feature hidden anywhere? Otherwise I'll have to do them all again.

You were right, partially. It seems to be chrome issue. I just tried on Firefox, and it works fine, no lag. I checked the processes on firefox, the plugin-container process for firefox also uses 12-15% more CPU when hovering, but there is no lag.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Probably not game-specific, though. Probably a Chrome thing. As I said - I'm not getting this issue, and if it was game-specific, I'd be getting it. I play this every day, so I'd definitely notice something like that.

I couldn't record a video, but here are two screenshots showing high resource consumption when hovering over a cell.. https://imgur.com/a/YYWO2LJ
And, I think this sudden increase is the reason behind the lag.

Literally part of the puzzle in Picma Plus is figuring that stuff out on your own, and it's not the only counting needed - sometimes, you only count how much of a space a certain color spans.

how about adding a total nut making it able to turn off or on so people who like it can use it and people who don't can turn it off and not use it

MBS - if I'm redoing a puzzle, it's to beat my previous time. If I've saved a puzzle because I had to do something IRL, and then that save ends up taking longer than my old time on the puzzle, I want to stop it and delete it. Unfortunately, restarting the run doesn't overwrite that save (I did that). So then the Saved Puzzles slots either has a puzzle that will then never be resumed until I finish off the other three slots - which I likely won't do since I tend to finish each puzzle I work on (which means I'd end up doing that saved puzzle again from a fresh run after finishing the save to beat that time again) - or until I decide to go through and do that save again to finish it to get rid of the saved puzzle just sitting there, which would result in me doing that puzzle again just to bring that time back down to what it had been.

In the next version, the ability to delete saved puzzles (ones we began working on, then saved to start at another time) would be nice. All I can find right now is the ability to... resume them. And if I do that and close out of the puzzle, even after making changes, the saved state is still there.
We had not considered that. Currently you can only get "rid" of a save state by either completing the puzzle or overwriting it with another one if all slots are full. What to you wish to accomplish by deleting the save state? (btw, you can restart a puzzle at any moment with one of the options in the pause menu).

They're working on it still. That doesn't make them lazy. Unless they've expanded their studio, they're still only two people.
Yep, still only two of us and unable to work full-time on this! Still, we should have a very limited alpha ready in December 2019 and a full release in 2020. ;)

That duplicate Rose one "A Rose" that's 35x40 that popped up in my votes today better not get approved. But considering the track record recently of things getting approved that require actual guessing, I'm betting it will.

Part 2. If you end up with just that little section on the middle of the right edge, look at where the white could possibly go. Count the boxes to see where it can't because of other stuff needing to be there. The beige beneath the white helps to solve this section.
