Well, we're all crazy enough playing an over 30-year-old video game, but more craziness is possible! Let's see:

Have you ever tried to play a BD2 cave while touching each and every firefly in it without exploding? Or have you ever tried to find out what the lowest possible score is? Or have you stood still for 10 seconds in a cave where it seems that Rockford can only survive while in motion? Or just tried to beat another crazy self-made challenge just because you can...?
No? Then it's high time for it! In my latest game BD2 challenges I offer you a specific challenge for each BD2 cave and intermission - it's the sequel of the BD1 challenges that are already on the Game Base!
I just sent the game to Arno for a release, so it should be downloadable soon!

Have a lot of fun playing - I surely had fun thinking of and mastering the challenges! ;D

Hey all,
my next corona-anti-boredom-release is on the way! ;D
I just sent Dustin's BD 13 to Arno for a release on this fantastic site!
Features:
--> some amazing results of modern BD research
--> two twin caves which look famailiar but offer new challenges
--> the usual five difficulty levels, from L1 introducing the cave ideas to L5 where I needed a lot of tries for most of the caves
--> and even an anti-cheating-setting for a sweet surprise! ;D

Curious? Good, that was my intention... ;D

Yesterday, a bug in Dustin's BD 13 was discovered in cave O - Cavescanning order. The amoeba was meant to give you only 2 diamonds if you solve the mini puzzle in that room, but actually it can easily give you a lot more. As this destroys the whole cave concept, I'll fix this bug and update the release. That may still take some days until I'm certain that everything works fine.

Recently, I feel quite inspired by Krissz's site - I can only recommend it! And thus, here's the announcement and preview of the next Dustin's BD game!
Subtitle: Rockford's Retro Revenge!
Cave names:
A - Unexpected Guest
B - Solis
C - Maze Race
D - Homerun
E - Golden Second
F - Playing With Fire
G - Supermax
H - Emancipated Amoeba
I - Flow
J - Money Bin
K - Merlin's Grid
L - One-Way Gridlock
M - Mystic Cave
N - Retro Dungeon
O - Snoococ
P - Escape the Room
Ints:
Q - Rock For Diamond
R - Disco
S - Magic Square 5
T - Move or Snap?

Did I make you curious? :D This time, it might even be possible to draw some concrete conclusions of the names! Final testings are still required, so I think the most probable release month is July!

Also, the BD3 challenges which complete the challenge trilogy shouldn't be too far away anymore. There's still one cave where I have no nice challenge yet, and there are some challenges that are so hard to me that I haven't managed to demo them yet! Still, it's not unlikely that this will be my second-next release :D

Sounds great! :D And a few cave names sound familiar to me... ;)
Are these all remixes of classic caves?

Hi all!
Dustin's BD 14 will get an update! A player on Krissz's site,. just discovered a relatively simple, unintended solution for cave H ("Emancipated Amoeba"). He trapped the amoeba in a way that it grows into the exit area. This possibility destroys my intended concept behind this cave, so I think a fix is necessary.
The update will probably come in a few weeks, after the other caves were uploaded on Krissz's site. You never know - perhaps another unintended solution of a cave will be found. In this case, of course, this would also be fixed in the update. Especially, it will be interesting to see whether someone can get bonus diamonds in cave J ("Money Bin") :D If you found any bonus diamonds on any difficulty level, I would be glad to read about it, too! :)

Until then, I hope you already have fun with the game :)

The update is now online and available on the Game Base!
Beside the cave H fix, I made two other minor changes in the game, which I commented at the Game Base!
