Have fun! There is a new texture attached.

Very nice level, Anne, but I didn't do it your way - Qookie only used 3 (the leftmost) out the 7 wooden boxes.

With that much stuff available it's doubtful that I completed this your way.

I'll be interested to read what exactly you wanted where.

Good fun nonetheless, thanks Anne!

That was fun and pretty easy.

Thanks

Annie

Lemme try this out!

Well, obviously there was a much easier way to do this with many fewer objects. Go figure.

I would be interested in knowing how everyone did it without using all of the objects. Did you allow the boomer to roam?

I would be interested in knowing how everyone did it without using all of the objects.

Here is the outline:
1. Four boulders make a bridge to the raft and the cannon on the blue button.
2. Jump to the left room, quickly press the red square button and block the way of the kaboom (until we're ready).
3. Extinguish the flame with a box and take the lower barrel way right through the white gate, out of reach of the kaboom.
4. Let the kaboom in to blow the top barrel, after it steps on the timer, follow behind with the remaining barrel.
5. Set the time-bomb for the barrel to explode in the gate and run for the exit.

Thanks, Amnon. When I went to play it your way, I noticed that after I did a last minute change, I forgot to put a wall back in its original place.

If you all would like to play again, I have the corrected level uploaded.

That's better, but I can still complete this level without touching two of the boxes.

The secret is: to block the bottom-row right-most two squares (including the grey TP) with two boulders (or a boulder and the cannon)

I'm not sure how you did that, Amnon. Do you have time to tell me the steps you took?

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 3:02 pm

I'm not sure how you did that, Amnon. Do you have time to tell me the steps you took?

Here: Second-to-bottom boulder right and down, top-boulder right and down., bottom-boulder left, remaining boulder and cannon on blue-button and forming part of the bridge to transporter. Now only one wooden-block from the left side is needed to complete the bridge. One block on the left is therefore untouched and so is the block on the right side.

I see. Thanks. I was using boxes where you used boulders/cannon. Same concept, different utensils

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Sat Mar 09, 2013 4:27 pm

That wall changed my game plan significantly. I ended up using two boxes to get to the raft. One boulder on the blue button and two boulders in the drink below it. The cannon ended up below the generator and the boomer activated the yellow timer for me. I ended up with a boulder left over, a keg, a box and I didn't need the two boulders in the water but I wanted them out of my way.

Is that exactly how you planned it Anne?

I had fun and that's what counts!

That's how I think with the boomers, botties, UFOs, etc. I want them gone!!

bob roest wrote:Is that exactly how you planned it Anne?

Sure, that's how I planned it. If you believe that, I have some property to sell.

I agree, Bob. It's all about having fun. And I love it when you guys find alternative ways to complete a level and tell me about it. I then go back to try to figure out those other ways - keeps my brain cells hopping.

Hi Anne
This one was fun to figure out. Seems I did it your way.

Thanks.

I've been working on this a while Anne and I'm coming nowhere near to solving it in spite of all the help above.

One day I'll do it. Hopefully!

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Thu Mar 14, 2013 4:00 pm

Would you like some help, Liz? If so, please tell me where you are stuck.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Fri Mar 15, 2013 6:25 am

Hi Anne

The main problem for me is the kaboom. He always gets destroyed before he can blow up the top barrel, and I think I need him to operate the yellow timer anyway.

I can't get the cannon through to the left side without it being destroyed in the white gate.

I don't see how to use the wooden box on the right side.

The whole thing is a complete mess.

Probably the main problem is all the work we're doing on the house. There isn't the time and space to concentrate properly at the moment.

If you take his bottom barrel out of the way, he'll have to come back and blow the top barrel. You don't need him for the yellow timer.

Thanks Anne - I'll see if I can make that happen.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Fri Mar 15, 2013 7:50 am

OK - I managed to do that, but now I can't reach the raft.

I don't see how to get any of the boxes or barrels into the water by the raft.

Video to come once I get it worked out.

Thanks for going to the trouble of making a video. Sorry to say I can't view it. This is the message:

OK, here you go. I learned FRAPS and have it uploaded to YouTube.

Great! You're on YouTube!

I'd never have got the solution without the video.

It was that quick jump following the boulder up the ice which I hadn't thought of.

That was all very clever.

Thanks for the level and the video!

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Sat Mar 16, 2013 10:00 am

The video is so totally different - such a solution would never cross my mind!
