Announcement: Dustin's BD15 - Xpert Remix!
DBD15 is almost finished! For the first time in the series, this game is not 5-level-based. Instead, it contains 16+4 caves from all my GDash games (RockFort 1-3, BD1+2 expert levels, DBD1-14). In these caves, ways were found (mostly by the players at Krissz's site) to get way more diamonds than originally intended by me. Now those diamonds are no longer bonus, but required!
There are four chapters with 4+1 caves each:
Chapter 1 - Grab 'em all: warm-up caves where I didn't require the max diamond amount in the original.
Chapter 2 - A good strategy: caves where success mainly depends on a good plan.
Chapter 3: Tricky tricks: in these caves, tricks were discovered to get more diamonds!
Chapter 4 - Insanity: caves which are too hard for me with the max amount of diamonds, even after I watched the demos on Krissz's site/ Arno's Youtube channel.
I think I'll be done with the game this month - I hope you'll have fun with chapter 1, be challenged by chapters 2-3 and don't throw your PC out of the window while trying chapter 4!

Announcement: Dustin's BD 16!
This will be the first game from me in 2021! After DBD8-Arno Remix and DBD12-Don Pedro Remix, this will be another game where I chose my favourite caves of a famous Boulder Dasher and made a five-level remake game out of them! I'm not sure whether I have already given away who it is, but in case I haven't, here's a clue: it's no coincidence that I chose DBD 16 to be "his" caveset!

The game is finished and will be released very soon!
Here's the solution of the little puzzle - Dustin's BD16 has the subtitle "No1 Remix" because all the caves are taken from the big No1 Boulder series! Similar to DBD8 - Arno Remix and DBD 12 - Don Pedro Remix, I studied the old caves from the BD legend No1 and took the ones I liked best for this remake game. Furthermore, as usual in the series, I made working 5-level versions out of the caves!

I hope you'll enjoy the game and it brings back some memories to those who already played No1's BD games in the '80s!

Ah, and of course it's no coincidence that I waited until DBD16 for this remake project - of course it's a reference to No1's 16BD game

Here are the cave names as a little appertizer:
A- Intro
B- Millipede
C- Demolition Dash
D- Distant Noise
E- Old Patrol
F- Pirate Island
G- Martial Concert
H- Wiggly Lines
I- Robots
J- Consonance
K- Deserted Desert
L- Firefly Painting
M- No One's Combination
N- Adventure Playground
O- Underground Patrol
P- Boulder Clash
