Went back and finished the few free puzzles I never finished. Now I know why I never finished them. There is no real challenge here. They are just a time sink. No sense in giving money for these puzzles. So I will not be downloading the game. I wish the best of luck to you in the future.

dwheeler - yes, they're still going through. They actually just recently began doing a burst of approvals. Sometimes, things build up while they work on the next version/game. Also, "in moderation" just means it's been submitted. It stays like that even if the puzzle's been rejected, which could be due to one of three things: their automated system, not getting enough votes (they sometimes go through and put back for votes puzzles that barely missed getting enough positive votes), or MBS itself rejecting them after those two go through. But all of those remain as awaiting moderation.

After playing this game for quite a while now i can see there's a real lack of criteria from the devs when accepting designs. Considering that the game restricts the amount of maps you can complete unless you give them money, that's a real problem. A 50X50 map that cost 4 coins has a great chance of being jus a smaller design with a lot of blank space around it... or just a big chunk of the same color.. it's frustrating to spend the coins on such underwhelming maps. And as for the voters: Don't just vote the pretty paintings, please consider playability!! Its a Game, not an art gallery!

1bookboy, thanks for your reply. I finally got it working with a different browser (I was using Brave and am now in Opera). I'm relieved to see my submissions are still there.

Finally got the hard badge after what seems like my 50th time playing this game! This game is so long that it deserves an extra medium or hard badge. But anyway thanks for the tons of fun, and my favourite is Links :)

Piesowonsz - there are two other possibilities besides MBS rejection. The first is that they didn't receive enough positive votes (sometimes, it's off by one) to go for review by the guys at MBS. The second is that MBS hasn't done approvals. They can sometimes go weeks between approvals, especially as they're focusing on their next game right now.

My puzzles are in moderation for whole weeks. Does it mean that they're just not accepted? Can I play them myself in some way?

TrySoHard - if it ever acts like that, you got disconnected from the cloud/their servers or it didn't connected to the cloud/their servers. Usually, a refresh is all it takes to fix that, but it might take a few times sometimes (usually when it's a hiccup on their servers).

I really want x's that only apply to one color for plus, as it can be difficult to keep track of which rows have no more of one color

Nice set of puzzles! My favorite was "Plus" because it seemed like it had the most complex logic involved. "Links" was too easy really tedious with larger levels.

That feel when you're 40 minutes into a puzzle you haven't saved and accidentally click "back" on your browser and lose it all. T.T

Zuphix - you don't need to click the corner to pan, if your mouse has a middle wheel, click that and hold, then move your mouse around to pan. You can also use Q and E to zoom, and WASD to move the grid up, left, down, and right respectively.

Dyod - yes, the servers are still up and running. This sometimes happens to me. Usually, waiting a few minutes and refreshing will work. If you're using a different Kong account, or played on their website, it won't register, though - the website's and KONG's accounts aren't linked.

TrySoHard - they aren't exact duplicates, even a minor difference will allow it to go up. The automated system rejects duplicates on its own.

Are the game servers still up and running? My client says it couldn't connect and logs me in as Guest. I'm back after a few years away so maybe it's just my account that got deleted.

Finshed the 'expert' 50x30 "stage" level and it registered but then it didn't keep that I finished the puzzle? I gotta go back and re-do a multi-hour puzzle? aaaahhg

I'd like to see an undo button, or an easier way to pan, or a way to increase the window size, zooming out is nice but everything stays so small, not using the space of my monitor. I often delete whole lines of puzzle when trying to pan because you have to click the corner every time!

Discovered this game has a bug in the squared puzzles as there is more than one way to answer some puzzles, apparently only one way is accepted... so you can have everything done correctly but not be correct.

If someone submits a naughty image, it'll get rejected if their filter for it doesn't catch it. It doesn't matter how many positive votes something receives because they go through the ones that receive enough positive votes to make sure none that are posted violate the rules.

Even if you see a large puzzle you should not "puzzle" yourself! try linking low numbers first like 2s 3s even 4s and then there will be a few options - alternatives for the larger ones. It will be easier to solve the puzzle in this way with minimum changes, that can be easily done since you re-arrange minimum tiles ;)
