Title: Puzzle Game
Post by: Silvanoshei on April 23, 2003 10:26 pm CDT

There was a game I found about half a year ago. It was an old puzzle game that originated in Taiwan or Korea or something. (I don't remember that well.) It's kinda popular these days, so you guys have probably seen it in some form, somewhere. Myself, the first time I saw it was in Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinistrals for SNES. Here something I made in paint to show you what it looks like...

The point of the game was to get that blue 2x2 square to the very bottom middle. The pieces could be slid around like your standard sliding puzzle game... Anyway, the point of this topic is to see if any of you know or remember the name of the orignal puzzle/legend. There was a Flash version of the game that I wanted to play again. If it helps any, I remember that it was called, "(The) Escape of K___ ____". It was an old Asian name, so I can't remember it. Argh. Thanks ahead if anyone can help me.

(And, as a sidenote, for anyone who's interested, I'm also making this game in Visual Basic.)

I wasn't asking for a solution, however foolish.

I have been playing that game for the last 30 minutes, and it is driving me crazy.
