Featured Game: Mystic Spindles!

As EPICon winds down, let's revisit one of Subeta's older offerings, Mystic Spindles! This game of organization is sure to help us clear out the clutter in our brains after memorizing the rules for so many different games over these last few weeks! If you manage to get the gears of your brain especially well oiled and complete an intermediate, hard or very hard game, there are some bonus points with your name on them!



As always you can earn bonus points for playing any selection of our previously featured games, and the contestants in the Cosplay Contest are counting on you to help get them to the top spot!

I got the four corners achievement but honestly I still don't know what the hell happened
I think I just kept trying until it came up with an easy set up lol Did it in 1:06 minutes

Bioshock

Did four corners in 1 minute 51 seconds, (got the achievement) and felt really proud. Then done the next two games in 1:48 and 1:23 respectively and realised it isn't even a hard achievement to get haha.

...those bonus points pretty much handed themselves to me. xD
This is definitely my favorite older game on the site, really glad to see it out in the spotlight like this.

The clock is ticking but there is nothing for me to do?? :( the game isn't loading for me

I didn't think I was going to be able to get the under 2 minute achievement.
With a time of 1:48, I was close to not getting it. My heart was racing. LOL. I hate time trials. ;a;

Lypsyl

Thank you so much for the revamp on this game! I was dreading the idea of getting bonus points when I saw the game of the day, but when I went to actually play it, the game was great. I may play this way more often now!

indulge

For anyone unaware, you can play more than 10 times to get bonus points, it just won't count towards the achievements and you won't get any sp! :)

I'm stuck on "game paused" ._. I can't get it to resume.

Marx

excellent revamp, my only problem is i have to wait ages for the game to start up, and it gives me no notice that it is loading. i need to click the 'start over' button dozens of times before any of the blocks even appear; despite this, the timer keeps running.
0

Gossamer

If you're having problems moving things, they are drag and drop. No keys, no clicking the buttons like MS used to be. Just drag the stacks to the spindle you want them on.
0

crashingnightingales

Does anyone know what keys/controls to use for the game? I can't figure out how to make a move & am uncertain as to whether it's my browser or something else.

Gremlin

Correction: I can help you with the easier ones if you ask.

Tucker

omg I think I actually love this game now. No more having to, click, click, refresh the page, click, click, repeat. :D It's going to take me a bit to get the hang of the new discs though. I was really use to have the dots on them actually corresponding with the size. Now I keep mistaking the fifth disc as being disc number four. They're all not even label odd or even. :o

I figured out how to play the classic 6 ages ago. I drew out my own version on pieces of paper and wrote out the moves as I played. lol
0

Cresenta

Yes! Got all the bonus points! :D Cant't believe I figured it out considering my fail of a track record with mind puzzle games. ^____^
0

BlueLeafeon

How about Matial's Jewels for tomorrow's featured game? I am an ace at that one. Okay, maybe not, but I'm sure I could get the bonus points easily.
0

Tucker

ooo spindles look spiffy now. Also lol at the intelligence experience points achievement. Easiest one to get for me since I somehow have over 1k points already. Off to see how the game plays now.

Gremlin

If anyone doesn't understand this game drop me a comment and I'll help you out.

Omg I just got one solved! Lol I suck so bad at these things, XD

If I thought the puzzle game yesterday was bad this one is just as bad. I don't understand either of them but congrats to those that do.

They need to edit the bonus points requirements details on the game to actually reflect the bonus points requirements. Now.

JackyMedan

omg I just got lucky with the starting positions of the discs in four corners. a lot of them were already in the right place and order, so I actually just got the around the world in two minutes achievement :O didn't think I would
0

Kiarae

I was thinking about this game just a little bit ago thanks to all the gaming going on. Was kind of dreading having to do it too, but the revamp has helped with the reason I remember hating it - waiting on discs to move... XP Classic 5 was my game though, so I'm glad to play it again and I love what's been done with it~

FLUX

Wah I can figure out the easy one in like 1 second but I'm too slow with my mouse for the 10 second thing so far, grr.

Liking the revamp a lot :) Can't tell how you know if you got intelligence points, though... (or how to get them)

Oh I am not good at this game at all. No bonus points today :X

Skolletta

Hey everyone! :) FOR BONUS POINTS, "COMPLETE AN INTERMEDIATE, HARD OR VERY HARD GAME." It says so right in the middle of the news post, although it's easy to miss.
0

Dickie

How do you "win"? I've "won" ten times but none of those counted for the bonus points :(
0

Carpathia

Wow, don't know if it's the revamp or if it's just easier than I ever thought, but I'm doing pretty good! I just have problems getting it to the middle. It takes me three times as long for that.
0

Impure

nice revamp! thank you!!
0

Phlizz

So happy this game got its long-overdue update. :heart: I played it a lot when it was new but the layout had been kind of broken for years, not to mention how slow it was when each move required a new page load. *goes off to farm some int exp*

FLUX

ENOUGH GAMES THAT REQUIRE THOUGHT. Just let me shoot at something, wah.

THANK YOU to the lovely people who revamped this game! I very rarely played because of how long it took to play one game. Thank you, you guys all deserve a medal for all this stuff.

Carpathia

I can do it on easy. Or I have once! Ha. Maybe I'll try harder levels.
0

RedSekhmet

It would have been nice is "win" had been more defined I sent my score on the easiest levels first since it wasn't specified which difficult that counted for and of course it didn't count for the bonus points. Now I can't get as many bonus points today as I would have been able to if it had been specified what difficulty we were supposed to be playing on. Next time there is a game with multiple difficulties PLEASE specify which difficulty will net the bonus points so everyone understands the requirements. Just using "win" when it doesn't count for games won on easier difficulties is not clear. :c
0

InvaderGEL

What counts as a 'win'? I just sent score twice but it's only counting as a 'play'....

i used to play this game all the time and the revamp is beautiful. if i have time i might try it out. :)

Wow that's a big revamp of one of the oldest games! Good job there!
0

Taters

I agree with deanosaur :U I really like games. I felt like before the event there werent many that grabbed me. And with these I can do games instead of always questing, especially when laggy. I might forget to vote for cosplay, but I love this bit of epicon. So stop complain :U
0

Bioshock

Just throwing this out there. For all you people that 'wish this was ending' etc, you know you can just stop playing if you're bored of the event right? There is a fuck tonne of people (like me) who are actually still enjoying this, and wishing that the event was over only effects those who actually want to participate, not those that don't.

Taters

@Goblin
I am horrid at math, to a point where I was in beginning pre algebra in senior year. And I am doing just fine at this. Its less math and more puzzle. Start with the biggest pieces, work your way up. Similar to how youd do the slide :P But I also love and do a ton of puzzle/memory games irl to challenge myself. But once you get the rythm down its better. My first game on very hard was 15min, I just did it again in 6min. So practice :D

Goblin

Oh...it's a "mathematical" game. No wonder I suck at it lol *failed math 2 years in a row* :/

Omg yes! I love this game but hated how the page reloaded every single move. This will be playable for me now! I would get migraines before. So excited for the revamp :]

Darnit! Almost got the under 2 minutes achievement for the four corners. UGH. I had 2:05 :C
0

Natsume

For points you have to go to the Mystic Spindles Shop, when you click it your points should register + any achievements.
The achievement should pop up when you do the under 10 seconds one but it might not appear in achievements right away, it showed up on my profile though.

I finally won hard ;) in ten minutes. I think I'll have to think this over a little more if I want to get to that 2 minute mark.

You need to win in intermediate, hard or very hard to get a bonus point.

If you manage to get the gears of your brain especially well oiled and complete an intermediate, hard or very hard game, there are some bonus points with your name on them!

I was so proud of myself for finishing a Four Corners mode (very nice revamp, btw), until I reread the achievement.
Two minutes? Haaah, took me about seven = u =

I love how quickly I can complete games now. It use to take so much time when the page had to be refreshed with every move. I just have to remember to double check the bases when playing Matchmaker.

aaaaah now! thanks ^^

Darling

If you don't see a "send score" button that pops up upon completion, do a hard refresh; it should show up for subsequent games.
0

Lyriel

is it broken? o_O
i tried an easy one and won, and an intermediate one and won, and nothing counted

I guess a win like the page says doesnt = bonus point :-|

I appreciate that this game was revamped, though! It actually has a really nice reward system so it's nice to see it get some love :)

Achievements are not given either for both the completion ones, the intelligence one is working fine.

I just did the 10 seconds on twice in 7 seconds

Also took a peek at the game before going to bed since it looks like it's having troubles. Very nice update!! It was LONG overdue.

It's wonderful that this game got an update, but I've won a few games and it didn't register my wins in the Daily Score or hand out SP/points.

Okay, glad I'm not the only one with the game restarting every time and not sending the score.

Getting really tired of games not working right when they're released. No way to send scores, wins aren't auto posting on the epicon score page. So how in the heck do we get points for this?
Get it together subeta :-/

would be nice if you could actually send your score 8) 8)

I appreciate the fact that the int exp achievement is retroactive. I don't understand how scoring works though. I finished a game of 'Classics 3' in 7 seconds but didn't get the achievement, and it didn't say how many exp points I won.
0

Leixan

please just let all the games (all of them please) stay for forever
0

Dessa

Okay, so... I beat Classic 3 in under 10 seconds (9, in fact), and no achievement. Like others have said, there's no way to submit your score, so how are you supposed to get points?

I'm just as lost as Azazel. I finished a classic 3 in under 10 seconds, but... there's no send score...? So no achievement for me. o.o;
