I Was A Barrel Murderer Once Part 1

The start of something different, IWABMO has an antagonist as the player in an unfitting creepy, dark environment. Enjoy!

This should be interesting...

YOU BROKE THE SACRED RULE OF THREE WORDS PER TENNIS TITLE! YOU SHALL PAY!

But uh, I'll mess with this later. The barrel spam and Faint Magic is overwhelming me.

Me too...

I have to take a break, now.

Your tennis level's overwhelming me too, Nobody, if that's comforting.

I don't get it.

What am I supposed to do in the right room?

What do you do after the part where the main Anti-Pro-Tagonist is feeling like he's being watched? I'm sorta stuck.

Use Flash to move barrels and get keys. Try to put them in spots not in your way as much as possible.

Flash the barrel on the right on the button.

Flash the barrel on the right on the button.

I did that already, I left the room and entered the 'Foundry A' to have the door close on me then nothing happens.

I've opened the door yet nothing still happens.

I'm stuck on the room with the Brr and Blink.

I might be able to solve it later, on account of that I just now solved the Pow room...
but, until then, I am stuck.

You should have 1 last Flash if you did the puzzle right. Get rid of the barrel in front of the terminal and read the terminal. Then something will happen.

I solved the Flash room with 2 Flashes to spare and the Blink/Brr room with 1 Blink to spare. The Pow room (with the color changer buttons) took me a while to solve. Very nicely done!

There's only two real complaints I have:

1. The darkness is kind of used as fake difficulty, since you can't view the entire rooms well with the Spy-Eye. And these were puzzles that definitely required lots of planning throughout the entirety of each room, which you can't really do with darkness.

2. THE BARRELS AREN'T CRABS! I'D RATHER BE A CRAB MURDERER, NOT A BARREL MURDERER!

Could you put in spoilers what solutions you used? I was pretty sure I eliminated any ways to save charges.

I didn't really want the levels to be dark because I realized that would be an issue, but it would've ruined the atmosphere to have too much light.

Wait for my first storyline adventure. There will be a whole section for crabs, to introduce my crab character.

Okay, here are my solutions.

Flash puzzle:

Instead of Flashing the barrel in the southeast room, I used one of my already-Flashed barrels to press the circle button. This saved me two charges.

Blink/Brr puzzle (I might've remembered some of these button colors wrong):

1. Take all 4 available Blinks.
2. Blink to the westmost platform.
3. Blink to the nearby button and press it. Blink again to the yellow button before the teleporter opens all the way. Collect the key as well.
4. Enter the yellow teleporter. You should have 1 Blink charge remaining.
5. Use the key and the last Blink to retrieve the northeast Brr charges.
6. Use the fast recovery trick to retrieve the key and hit the red button. Use the red teleporter to return.
7. Use the key to retrieve the southeast Blink charges.
8. Use 2 blink charges to press the green button.
9. Use the spring to get the indigo key. Blink to the right to land on the indigo gate's platform. You should have 1 Blink charge remaining.

Wonderman109 · Post by **Wonderman109** » Thu Mar 20, 2014 11:48 pm

Well, that seems more complex than mine, but it sure seems interesting. And you don't need to blink from the spring landing spot to the indigo gate anyway.

Well, that was a thing.

I had to redo a puzzle in order to let a Thwart-thing get away though, since in the way I initially did it the Thwart-thing got stuck and just stood there.

Jutomi · Post by **Jutomi** » Fri Mar 21, 2014 3:46 am

Me too.

I didn't mind, though; I found the Flash section much easier than the Pow section.

What transformation buttons do you use for the left room? I'm sorta stuck considering there is no moss transformation button.

Huh, I thought I fixed that when it happened to me.

Do you have the "Default' texture in your Custom/Objecttextures directory?

Koopson44 · Post by **Koopson44** » Sat Mar 22, 2014 2:41 am

No. Can you tell me where it is?

Wonderman109 · Post by **Wonderman109** » Sat Mar 22, 2014 2:45 am

It's supposed to already be in that folder when you install the editor, but here it is. It goes in UserData/ Custom/ Objecttextures.

Koopson44 · Post by **Koopson44** » Sat Mar 22, 2014 2:47 am

Ah it was in the models folder

Jutomi · Post by **Jutomi** » Fri Mar 28, 2014 3:10 pm

Wonderman...

I just wanted you to know that I've still not solved this.

Jutomi · Post by **Jutomi** » Fri Mar 28, 2014 3:36 pm

YES!

Victory is mine!

And all done with two blink and two brr left over.

Ah well, this wasn't really about the puzzle quality anyways...

Jutomi · Post by **Jutomi** » Fri Mar 28, 2014 11:00 pm

Are you kidding? It was magnificent!

I spent well over a week trying to solve it.

Wonderman109 · Post by **Wonderman109** » Sat Mar 29, 2014 7:17 pm

If it was, I would have uploaded a new version fixing the 'glitches.' I'm not going to bother, because they don't ruin the level.

llarson · Post by **llarson** » Sat Mar 29, 2014 7:40 pm

I finished this a few days ago. However I needed Jutomi's hint for the Blink / Brr part. That was a neat opener. Can't wait to see part 2!
