Organization Vote for method of sorting levels

The definition is only "wider" when a level doesn't fit any other option. If you look at my original list, there are some very specific subcategories that are within major category levels. If something doesn't fit any of those other categories, chances are high it's going to be in the puzzle category Instead... which also has some specific subcategories as well.

In fact, in my original list, other categories are listed before you get to the puzzle one...to force you to look at the other options first, before "copping out" and sticking it puzzle or other.

 

Here is an interesting level that may "puzzle" you... Because it doesn't fit puzzle, exactly. It has some more specific elements that can be catalog instead

This is modular, sub category: shifter, tags: labyrinth, path, bbotonly.

 

@FabianS how are you defining "code"?
I don't yet have a definition for that, but I have been thinking it should fit more in line with hidden trial and error levels where you need to move levers or walls into a specific pattern or code, in order for the hidden path to be revealed. Often has been associated with knowing the binary code for something, which is yet another refinement tag.

Your "code" tag does not appear to fit what's in my head for the code/decode tag. Enlighten me as to your thinking, so this one can be worked out better?

What I currently have is this definition for a tag… But code levels could easilybe a subcategory of the puzzle group
"Trial and error Hidden: Hidden mechanisms that must be set in a specific position before a hidden path can be navigated. Either or both, bot and goal are hidden from view as well."

 

No, I haven't played it yet, it's a large level and I don't have time right now.
But from your description I now know that you do understand what constitutes a code level. I was at first thinking that you may have been referring to the sliding section in front, that creates a path eventually, but that doesn't fit the code idea...that's more just sliding around. ( and no, that doesn't fit modular or slider, those are reserved for large sections, not individual pieces. Unless you have an idea for defining little sliding pieces like that...or even if it's necessary?)

Thanks...

 

@FabianS I just made an attempt to play it, I get stuck in the middle stairs, I suspect Draggables are involved to help get me off of it, but they don't move any higher than the floor level, so there's no way to get off that section for me. I do not see how the code works. It's not obvious from playing the game that there even is a code. All I see are things I can't move that look like they probably should, but there's no visible draggable block for me to move them with. This is a problem with my iPad.

So there is no way that I would be able to catalog a "code" level unless the creator mentions that one exists.

This is something I cannot personally recognize, in a level such as yours, if it is subtle. Those that have levers, or holes, or sliding walls, are obvious. This one with colored blocks that look like design elements, don't look like code clues.

 

I have a friend named Dorothy, so I never caught the Wizard of Oz reference. She thought it was interesting that a puzzle was named after her but she didn't catch Wizard of Oz reference either… She doesn't play games on her non-smartphone.

I don't catch the reference to "wagons". They're in the water… Wagons are not water vehicles, maybe they're boats? I also don't understand how to read the code to place them, or nor do I understand the explanations in either spoiler about "passages", since I'm currently on the other side heading for the stairs. (I don't play code levels, I used your description for cataloging purposes not playing purposes )

The only thing I know is I'm stuck on stairs, zappers behind me) not tunnels or passages, and can't move a draggable to get me off of it, so I lost interest in playing it...but not in cataloging it.

So, let's keep this thread to cataloging… Not spoilers.
