Welcome the post-apocalyptic world of Q’Bicles where acid rain floods rivers
and valleys, Trogdors have burninated the countryside, and electric toasters
have become the dominant form of life on Earth!

Well, fine. The real version goes something like this: Q’Bicles is actually a
brilliantly contrived puzzle game from the folks at Dragonfly Game Design.
This is their first big hit, and they actually made it to Bawls’ The BIG C -
Independent Game Competition, where they went up against games such as Alien
Hominid. Hopefully, we’ll see more awesome things come out of DGD, and I
personally can’t wait to get my hands on the new level editor they are expected
to release.

==================================================
;About This GameFAQ
==================================================

Despite the fact that I upped the difficulty to ‘Burning the Midnight Oil’ (I
refuse to play anything on easy ever, except maybe Ikaruga), this GameFAQ was
designed with simplicity in mind. Just keep in mind that these solutions are
only compatable with the Q'Betris level package. And, the solutions probably
won’t work on the easier versions (but I haven’t seen those yet so maybe they
do). I set up all the levels with name, description, requirements, and
finally, a suggested solution. Most of these, if done quick enough, should nab
you a coveted ‘Employee of the Month’ award as well. Also take note that the
requirements section is set up like the shorthand version in game is, but a
* attached to a letter or another asterisk means all, and ** mean all Q’Bes.
With that said, lets show you the legend and get you on your way to Q’Bicling!

==================================================
;The Key
==================================================

R = Red (Managemen) Q'bicles
O = Orange (Engineering) Q'bicles
G = Green (I.T.) Q'bicles
B = Blue (Sales) Q'bicles
L = Light Blue (Custome Service) Q'bicles
___
| ^ |
|< >| = Direction of the Q'Be
|_v_|

o = Push-pinned object

C = Coffee
D = Drink (Soda)
X = Exit
P = Plant/Pillar
W = Water Cooler
S = Sheet of paper
r = Restroom

QE = Queue empty

==================================================
;Q’Bicles Tidbits
==================================================
Q’Bicles has a lot of history with WPI, or Worcester Polytechnic Institute in
MA. Mike Gesner is actually a graduate here, and he had a huge part in the
GDC, or Game Development Club, here on campus. Even today, he still has a hand
in it as the club’s advisor, and he does the occasional seminar for the GDC DG
(Developers’ Guild). Michael Melson, Randy Chong, and Kevin Candiloro are also
alumni of WPI, where the game concept was created. Also, this particular level
pack was created by Allen Seitz, who will be graduating from WPI in May, 2005.
Allen is also a master of this game, and I wouldn’t be surprised if has better
solutions for every single puzzle here.

==================================================
;About the Author
==================================================
My name is Jaime Barriga, also known as JB4GDI, and I am a full time Computer
Science major here at WPI. I am also a member of the GDC here as one of two
execs in charge of annual and weekly events. As far as games go, some current
favorites of mine are Gradius V, Ikaruga, Astro Boy: Omega Factor, Katamari
Damacy, any DDR version, Wario Ware: Touched, and America’s Army. I’m not sure
what my future holds, but WPI has more than enough to keep me busy with for now
and I love it here.

==================================================
This GameFAQ is only to be used on www.gamefaqs.com or my own personal
webpages. If you want to do anything more than look at and/or follow it's
wisdom, e-mail me.

My webpages are http://36echo.com/jb4gdi and http://users.wpi.edu/~jb4/ though
I rarely update things at either place.

You can contact me through e-mail at [email protected] (until 2009) or
[email protected] regarding this GameFAQ or anything about WPI or the GDC here.

Trogdor and the word 'Burninated' are probably a trademark of
www.homestarrunner.com

That whole flying toasters thing was the brainchild of Jon Adler, who lives on
this floor and is certifiably insane.

The ascii art for the title was generated by ASCII Generator which can be found
at http://go.to/ascgen/ The actual level layouts and borders were done by
myself.

This GameFAQ is currently 1.0.0 on April 20th, 2005. I'll add a changelog if
I find errors or make revisions.
