Dustin (Author) about Dustin's Boulder Dash 22 on 8 Oct 2023

Have fun with my latest game! And thanks again for the upload, Arno! :D

If you don't know yet: GDash has recently been ported and is currently improved! The programmer's name is Richard aka revvv and he uploads his GDash releases on GitHub. See the "Links" section here on this site!

(The game should also work flawlessly with the unported GDash version.)

 

Renyxa D`Arox about Rockford in Nimmerland 02 on 22 Aug 2023

But "Rocky Rockano in Lolliland 01" belongs to Alex Zop, right?
So who is an Author? Map author or package author? I prefer to think that the package author. Because sometimes a caveset contains maps of different authors and the package author honestly lists them all.

 

Ola about Match Buster on 15 Aug 2023

Brilliantly complex puzzler with no enemies and no time pressure. Much more elements and mechanisms than Boulder Dash: Fire, water, "Portal"-portals, bombs, match 3, and some more.

 

Dustin about Rockford in Nimmerland 02 on 14 Aug 2023

But the intro text (Screenshot 2) says that all the caves were designed by Marc Piteau. It seems that Alex Zop only packed the caves into a new set and changed the graphics.

Dustin about Boulder Dash - The New Elements on 24 Jun 2023

Great, thanks! :D

 

Dustin (author) about Dustin's Boulder Dash 21 on 15 Oct 2022

I just looked it up - actually it's not in the options but in the settings where the "particle effects" can be switched off :D

 

Dustin (author) about Dustin's Boulder Dash 21 on 15 Oct 2022

Hi guys,
have fun with the game! :) One hint about GDash: if it slows down remarkably when there are many explosions/falling boulders at the same time, then you can switch off the "particle effects" in the options. This should solve the problem!
(I mentioned it also in the forum, but maybe you didn't read it there, and I think it's an important thing to know because this little bug can be quite annoying if you don't know what to do about it!)

 

Arno about Boulder Dash - The New Elements on 19 Jul 2022

I have corrected the title. Better late than never...! :-)

 

Thanatos about No One's Boulder 16 on 3 Feb 2022

It appears that someone tried replacing the old corrupt version but they just replaced it with the old Boulderdash 16, not No One's Boulder 16.

 

Dustin about Dustin's Boulder Dash 8 - Arno Remix on 1 Feb 2022

Update version Feb 1, 2022: cave J ("Balderdash"), although playable, did not work as intended with the latest GDash version (I had used an older GDash version before so I hadn't noted). Now cave J is a lot more chaotic with lots of explosions at the start! :D No other changes on the game!

 

Dustin (author) about Dustin's Boulder Dash 16 - No1 Remix on 1 Feb 2022

Update version Feb 1, 2022: timer increased on intermission 1 (the timer was too little on the lower levels). No other changes.

 

Dustin (author) about Dustin's Boulder Dash 20 on 1 Feb 2022

Hi BD fans, here's my latest game in classical 5-level style! Enjoy :D
Also, there are updates available on Dustin's BD8 and 16 which you can download from this Game Base!
Dustin'sBD8: cave J did not work as intended (although it was solvable) - fixed.
Dustin's BD16: int 1 had too little time on the lower levels - timer increased.

 

Dustin (Author) about Dustin's Boulder Dash 18 on 24 Sep 2021

A note about GDash: if there are many explosions at the same time (which, for example, can happen in cave M), this can cause big lags. But this can easily be avoided by switching off the "particle effects" the game settings!
Have fun with the game :)

 

Dustin about Dustin's Boulder Dash 03 on 12 Apr 2021

Update 2021:
Cave H is fixed; no other changes. Enjoy! :)

 

Dustin about Dustin's Boulder Dash 17 on 26 Mar 2021

I forgot to mention in the cave intro texts that cave M (Millionaire) is actually a standard size version of Arno's "The 2 Million Challenge" YouTube Video! I always wanted to make a cave with a lot of diamonds to collect for the Dustin's BD series, but I found all my own ideas unsatisfactory. Then when I saw the video, it struck me as almost perfect for my purposes and I basically just rebuilt it for this game! :D
Have fun playing the game! :)

 

Dustin (Author) about Dustin's Boulder Dash 14 on 29 Aug 2020

Update from Aug 29, 2020:
1. Cave H ("Emancipated Amoeba") had an unintended solution, which is now fixed. Now (hopefully) the cave is only solvable if the amoeba is prevented from converting into either boulders or diamonds. This fix was the main reason for the update, because the unintended solution destroyed the whole concept behind this cave!
2. In cave A, the magic wall no longer stops the amoeba.
3. Cave K had a lot of bonus diamonds, so I increased the requirement on lv4 and 5 and also changed the time limits a bit.
Have fun! :D

 

Spacebrain about No One's Boulder 16 on 13 Jun 2020

Is it just me, or is the BD16 image broken? I cannot make it work. ie. try with https://virtualconsoles.com/online-emulators/c64/

 

Thanatos about Quicky Dash on 5 Jun 2020

Also appears to have been released in 1988, or at least cracked that year. But usually the cracks came quickly after release.

Thanatos about Quicky Dash on 5 Jun 2020

Screenshots to had here: https://csdb.dk/release/?id=130037 and here: http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=1013&d=18&h=0

 

Dustin - Author about Dustin's Boulder Dash 13 on 18 May 2020

The update was of course not made on March 18, but May 18 ;D

 

Dustin - Author about Dustin's Boulder Dash 13 on 18 May 2020

UPDATE MARCH 18, 2020

Hi all, there was a bug/ unintended solution in cave O - Cavescanning order. The amoeba could easily give you a lot more diamonds than intended, which made it possible to beat the cave - even on level 5 - without doing any of the other tasks.

Therefore, my oversight destroyed the whole cave, and that's why I decided to fix it and ask Arno to upload the fixed version, which is now downloadable. Thx Arno!

Beside the bugfix, cave O now has two other minor differences, but I didn't change anything else in the game. So have fun! ;D

 

Dustin {Author} about Dustin's Boulder Dash 8 - Arno Remix on 18 Feb 2020

You're welcome, Arno! It was a great pleasure to select and re-design your caves! ;D

 

Arno about Dustin's Boulder Dash 8 - Arno Remix on 14 Feb 2020

Excellent selection of highlight caves from the Arno Dash series! Thanks a lot for this tribute Dustin! :-D

 

Arno about Dustin's Boulder Dash 11 on 26 Oct 2019

Awesome! :-D

!!!SPOILER about the cave "Math Marathon"!!!

Level 3

1. 413^0=1 YES
Any number to the power of 0 is equal to 1.

2. pi=3.14 NO
The circular number pi is about 3.14, but not exactly. It is an irrational number, which means it is infinitely long and not periodic. It starts as follows - 3.1415926535...

3. square root of 4 divided by 0.5 = 4 YES
The square root of 4 is 2. If you divide 2 by 0.5, the question is how often the 0.5 fits in the 2. As 4*0.5=2, the result is indeed 4.



Level 4

1. i²=-1 YES
That's how the imaginary unit i is defined.

2. 40-32/2=4! YES
This one is a trap! If you would calculate from left to right, you would get the result of 4, but as division has preferrance over subtraction, the correct result is 24. But! On the right side we don't have "4", but "4!". The exclamation mark is the mathematical symbol for "factorial". 4! means 4*3*2*1, which is 24. So the equation is indeed correct!

3. 16^2.25=512 YES
16^2.25=16^2*16^0.25=16*16*{4th root of 16} = 16*16*2=512, so the equation is correct.



Level 5

1. e^{i*pi}+1=0 YES
Many mathematicians think this is the most beautiful mathematical equation, as it combines such important numbers like 0, 1, the circular number pi, Euler's number e and the imaginary unit i.

2. Integral 2x dx = x²+c YES
This is not easy to explain. For people who had integral calculus at school, this is one of the easier integrals, for those who hadn't, it's impossible to explain here!

3. Gamma {0.5} = pi
Hard to explain in this comment either. The correct value of the Gamma function at 0.5 is not pi, but the square root of pi.

!!!SPOILER about the cave "Math Marathon"!!!
As I promised in the game, here are the reasons for the correct answers in the cave "Math Marathon".


Level 1

1. 12+34=56 NO
Obviously false, the correct result is 46.

2. 2+3*4=20 NO
It would be correct if you could calculate from left to right, but multiplication has preferrance over addition, so the correct result is 14 instead.

3. 3+1.5=3*1.5 YES
The result is 4.5 on both sides, so the equation is indeed correct.



Level 2

1. 5*0=5 NO
5*0 means 0+0+0+0+0, so the correct result is 0.

2. 3²+4²=5² YES
3²=3*3=9, 4²=4*4=16, 5²=5*5=25, so 9+16=25 is correct. This is a so-called Pythagoras triple and it means that a triangle with side lengths of 3, 4 and 5 metres is a right triangle.

3. -3*{-4}=-12 NO
Two negative numbers multiplied result in a positive number, so the correct result is +12.



 

Jesse about Boulder Dash 09 on 18 Jun 2019

This is my childhood! Been searching for this specific one for ages; the map previews on this site are really a great help! I used to try and argue to my parents that the level E staircase was a good hand strengthening exercise after breaking my arm when I was 8, and Level M is one of my favorite levels of the whole series.

 

sfq about Boulder Dash Super Prof on 2 Mar 2019

On the level 38... It was extremely hard to get the required 99 diamonds in the first place, but doing that without sealing the exit seems impossible.

 

Dustin (Author) about BD1 Challenges on 24 Feb 2019

Hi BD fans!
This game is kinda special - the caves are the same as in the original BD1 game but the idea is that each cave has a specific additional rule to fulfill! This rule can, for example be "Defeat all fireflies" or "Never move upwards" etc. To furmulate the rules, I used the GDash story mode. Thus, this game only makes sense if you have the story mode switched ON in the GDash Options!
Thanks Arno, not only for the release, but also for testing the game and checking whether all the challenges are formulated clearly!
Have fun with the challenges - I had a lot of fun making and recording them!
Cheers, Dustin
