Name change coming soon

New name? Why? Yes, after thinking about it for a while, I've decided that this game needs a name change. The reason is pretty simple: B.i.t.Lock is just not a good name...

addedSo what's the new name?It's Block in the Lock. That's actually still B.i.t.Lock, but spelled out completely. Yep, the B.i.t. part of B.i.t.Lock was actually an abbreviation all along. It was originally an inside joke, but it fits so well that it will soon be the new official name for the game. It describes the game well, is easy to search for and doesn't invalidate the old name. It will still take a little while before the change is complete since I need to edit a lot of artwork and rebuild the game.

New name? Why?

Yes, after thinking about it for a while, I've decided that this game needs a name change. The reason is pretty simple: B.i.t.Lock is just not a good name... It sounded cool on paper and has grown on me a lot, but I realized that it has some major flaws. It isn't search-friendly, can be tedious to type because of the dots in the name and sometimes even confuses people. With this change I aim for a better user experience with a more search-friendly term that gives a clearer statement to what the game is about.

So what's the new name?

That's it for now. I just wanted to tell you all, so nobody gets to confused about it.
