Vexed Spoilers
These "spoilers" detail how to solve the various levels in Vexed,
version 1.3 by James McCombe. Read no further if you want to solve
them yourself!
There are eight types of block referred to:
- Circle - block has a single circle on it
- Dot - block has a filled-in black circle on it
- Cross - block has a large "X" on it
- Square - block has a single square on it
- Funnel - block has a funnel-like object on it
- Die - block has a black dot at each corner
- Checker - block has a checkerboard pattern on it
- Bolt - block has fat lightning-bolt on it
"Top", bottom", "left" and "right" refer to the block furthest in
each of those directions. "Middle" means the middle block of three
of the same type, either vertically or horizontally. If only some
blocks can move, the references may refer only to the movable blocks.
Remember that after EACH move the "left", right" etc. may refer to different
blocks! Hopefully the block references are clear enough.
I do not claim these are the only solutions. If you find better ones
by all means let me know. "Better" in this case means fewer moves. And
of course, if I've stuffed up or been ambiguous, please let me know
that too.
And of course, thank you James for a really fun game!
