There will be a new official Boulder Dash game available very soon (June 2011)!

It looks very promising - at least what I can tell from the official trailer.

Looks very nice. And the price seems to be o.k. I hope that it will be possible to import caves.

I already emailed the developers about a level editor. It would be the only think to keep it alive for years like the original product...

I really hope that the level data is provided separately in a directoy otherwise it would be difficult to add user levels, wouldn't it? Nevertheless the developers must have some kind of editor to design the levels in the game.

On the other hand there are even fan made games for New Super Mario Bros for the Wii!

So let's hope that the data structure allows that even without an official editor...

But maybe the mighty LogicDeLuxe is able to provide some kind of solution? Smile

LOL It is probably just me, but I don't think I really like the look (graphics-wise) of this new version Smile

cheers,
Paul

It's out! I got it on xbox, i must admit. Love to play one of my favorite childhood games on the HDTV.

Still not a fan of the graphics as others have stated.

Not enough puzzle levels, but otherwise enjoying it..

The game is not the best Boulder Dash clone but it's fun.

But there is one very nice thing about the game - the levels (and all other data like graphics, sounds, etc) are kept separately. So it should be able to write a level editor of some kind.

Maybe there is someone here looking into this matter?

I just got the confirmation from the developers of Boulder Dash XL that there is no level editor planed.

So maybe some of the programmers here can look at this matter? As level files are all kept seperately it should be no big problem to write such a tool, shouldn't it?
