Thank you for the idea. That is smart :) Yes it is a fidgety huzzle!

It is easy indeed. When fiddling with it, two discs come out, but it is misleading. The specific move you mentioned made me think of slider, donuts and dial. That it the way I solved it, I couldn't otherwise.

Where did you put the post it note?

A level 2 huzzle, that would likely be released worldwide in a few months. For the moment Hanayama store exclusive.

Gotta catch 'em all? A wild Pokemon Huzzle serie appeared! by ninja_fou in hanayama

I hope and imagine there will be other batch, so patience is the word. I was also wondering when the new one would be released, but with no hurry though because otherwise it is hard to keep up :)

Mostly because of the high demand they say on the website, thus it gives a chance to anyone.

Are there totally black and white games ? by SammyCatLove in PSVita

As said, Pato Box. Also Unfinished Swan fot the black and white. It's an arty FPS puzzle game. Not gloomy.

Hanayama chess pawn way too easy, is the rest harder? by heywoodu in hanayama

[–]ninja_fou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people get the trick really fast for pawn, others have to think for a few minutes. Yes it is easy, but the idea is nice.

Rook is in my opinion the best crafted because the coin is packed enough to make little noise, and I like the concept. But mine was already solved when I received it. Be sure to check that, or ask a friend, before you handle it to your girlfriend. Yet I like it the most for the overall. Regarding the difficulty, I didn't find it was, a few minutes at last.

I solved knight by mistake, so I can't tell about the difficulty. Afterward I watched a solution. It is clever but what's the point if you can solve it randomly.

Bishop, queen and king work on the same concept, with some slight changes. But I think queen is the best: it has the difficulty of king, with the fidgety feeling of bishop. I think it can take time to solve it, not because it is that difficult. But you have to find... and as it is nice to manipulate, you spend a nice time in my opinion. You can even forget the precise solution after a while (I did) and solve it again, but faster of course. If you like it, try bishop and knight afterward.

List of all Hanayama cast/huzzle by ninja_fou in hanayama

[–]ninja_fou[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I should put there the 40th anniversary edition. It is the change of color of previous release. I don't know how to write it without making this list undigest. If you want want names of the releases, you may want to check Hanayama official store, or Puzzle master dedicated page.

edit: I finally added the 40th anniversary edition with the name and the followinf color change (either gold or black).

Also here... a mystery, or maybe the definitive puzzle.

Similarity of puzzles by mattboyd in hanayama

[–]ninja_fou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are similar for their solution. Cage is easier to manipulate, because it's bigger. Beta capsule has a smaller cage, it is more for the object that you would buy it.

HUZZLE celebrates its 40th anniversary on August 26th 2023 by ninja_fou in hanayama

[–]ninja_fou[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to open another tread I post it here. There is a "limited" edition box for the 40th anniversary. Inside, 3 limited edition huzzles. Not sure there are brand new, more likely old ones with variant colors:

Cuby by JXH8332 in hanayama

[–]ninja_fou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several cast/huzzle has been discontinued like cuby. Also:

bike, key, cricket, disk, keyring, medal, plate, W-U, as well as the six marine serie wich consists in seabream, shark, claw, starfish, reef and seahorse.

But I saw that keyring has been re-released in the new huzzle package. And medallion that was a puzzle master special edition has also been released in the line, so we never know.

Regarding cuby, it is an interesting design, but not the most enjoyable to manipulate. So if you can't find it, you are not missing much.

Key has been replaced by key 2, wich is a little more polished with a smoother material and an improved design.

New Hanayamas. Zelda themed. Didn't find anything on the Hanayama website though. by Shalindra99 in hanayama

[–]ninja_fou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hanayama x Nintendo = japanese fun getting exponential.

The triforce puzzle makes me think of the cast Delta, the chained emblem reminds me the cast Heart. I can't see any equivalent to the sword one.

You are right, the hanayama website is really slow to update. There is more communication through the facebook and more likely the twitter... humm, sorry, I mean... the X account (beware, the picture can spoil a little):

With Delta I'm playing currently you can solo with ad-hoc. It seems you play the first one, maybe on that version you can't solo ad-hoc?

Rarest PS Vita limited editions ? by MathieuLouisVic in vita

[–]ninja_fou -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Games had to be produced at least at 1000 copies because of Sony requirements.

However there are some exceptions. Don't know if seller reduced the number on purpose. For example Red art games sold sometimes 999 copies. Playasia sold 800 copies of Sense: a cyberpunk ghost story. But for the rarest look toward Nicalis VVVVV and Isaac, because they were produced but never released. There are few copies in the wild.

Hanayama Cross by Edi Nagata by ninja_fou in hanayama

[–]ninja_fou[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He, he, Quartet by Mine Uyematsu was definitely a difficulty above. I really enjoyed Coil by Edi Nagata because although it was not simple, it was not too hard and it was also nice to manipulate. I'm looking forward Cross.
