Make a new level

NEW COMBINED RANKING. By demand I've written the page, 4th-10th is pretty close. Also, new levels now available (have been since midday GMT, 1st December 2004). See discussion forums and download page.

Welcome to a very practical page. From here you can check out the current player records and hiscores as well as the latest updates for BD4.

  • Layout: Change the menu and level set link layout.
  • Forums: Discussion forums for levels, player, news and more.
  • FAQ: Frequently asked questions and general game documentation.
  • Java Version: Does not require downloading and works behind all firewalls (I think, as from 5 Dec 1998). Recently updated to work a lot better with almost all features! It is generally slower and missing a few features (record/playback and level editor support) from the downloadable versions.
  • Documentation Full game documentation. Some in the form of FAQs and big scary dynamic web pages.
  • Player Rankings: Player ranking, generated realtime based on the high scores.
  • High scores: The current global high scores for all versions (UNIX/Java/PC/BeOS).

  • Hints, challeneges and recorded games: Hints to levels, recorded games (better hints) and other things.
  • Game statistics: The number of games played and logged from around the world and a few other things.
