Intensity XS and IXS ReCharge

My youngest grandsons are playing these games I bought for another grandson who is now a junior in college. I couldn't get them to run on the two Dell workstations running Windows 10 64-bit they use for their games in my home. I installed Windows 7 64-bit on second hard drives I had lying around and...

This is what Max told his mother

I meant I finished Max's and not Alex's :shock: Yeap, I did most of Max's level today. :D And I thank you so much for putting in spikes and not electric tiles like I had fatefully done to a numbing extent in Electronic Arts. :lol: Unfortunately, I was not able to finish Max's level... I got stuck w...

I am just an observer - I don't play the games

Remember these are just little boys and they work and work on these levels. They can complete them because they are so familiar with their own work. They have no idea how difficult the levels may be to others. For Max especially, bigger is better. Alex helps Max sometimes. I am amazed they figured o...

It will take awhile for a reply

The boys won't be here for a week or so.

I will relay your question to Max when they are here again.

timer

I am surprised Alex put a timer in his level...the boys hated timers when they were little and I remember being able to turn them off.

the boys will be pleased when I read them your reply

Thanks, they will be tickled pink when I read them your reply.

I am no help at all if anyone has a question about these levels but I can ask the boys the next time they come for grandparents day.

They have been posted

I told Alex I could post his level on the internet and he was very excited so it had been posted. Max's latest "not impossible" level is also posted.

These aren't their first levels as my post may imply. I would guess they each have created at least fifty levels...probably more.

Alex (8 years old) and Max (6 years old)..their first levels

I am their grandpa, their computer consultant. I helped them play these games when they were little but now they are on their own. I sometimes type in the text for signs for Max. I watched them complete their levels to make sure the games are not impossible. Alex's levels are very well done. Max's l...

All of these games are amazing

My two young (kindergarten and second grade) grandsons love these games and spend hours at my house (they don't play computer games at home) not only playing the games but using the Level Editor to create their own games. They know the Level Editor inside-out and now that the older one can read I no...
