New Level: (Adv) The King and Queen!

Mahaloof · Post by **Mahaloof** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 11:25 pm

I'll tell you a little secret: a long, long time ago, before Lillie and Kiki had even met their current partners, they fell in LOVE with each other. It didn't last very long, (Brits and Americans, I guess) but they did have a lovely day.

They'd rented a little lovenest on Turtle Island, close to the Dutch coast. In fact, that's where I got to know them, as I was a toilet cleaner there. Just for the holidays, you know....
In any case, Lillie looked wonderful, just 18 years old, with her little red cap and a big smile. Keeks wore a top hat all day long (a remnant from the Frisco hippy days) and an even bigger smile.

That glorious summer day they lost each other in Turtle Gardens (famous for the pink Chrysantheminimiums) and had to overcome a load of obstacles to get back to their cottage in time for tea...

This is for the King and Queen of Wonderland. With a total of 1200+ levels under the belt, they earned all their tributes. CHEERS!!!

(And a big, big ThankYou! to the person(s) who made the models and texture... So gorgeous...)

You crack me up sir.

Have you been thinking of these levels in your sleep?

I've 'got movement' but that's as far as I'm going tonight, I'll take another run at it tomorrow.

BTW, the opening move is brill!

You are too funny Loofypops!

Off out for the day with the children - will check this out tonight - thanks Buddy!

I agree your opening movement is impressive

This is a mechanical genious so far, you've got things happening that I didn't even realize I started

And it's wonderful but now I need to figure out how I'm doing them

Right now I'm playing in the blue round rascal field so I definately got movement. Very nice tribute to the King and Queen

Will get back to ya - I hope

Well so far I got "Movement" but that's it, Taking a break for now. Brilliant opening.

Finished!

You really should think about throwing a few more elements into these levels, that way they wouldn't be so easy. This only took two days and 348 restarts.

Seriously though, phenomenal work Mahaloof! The beginning was great and every move there after I had to re-do so many times to get it just right. You did throw in everything but the kitchen sink and I'm not sure if that's not in a fake wall someplace!

Thanks for a great ride,

Okay, I got my water paths filled and the blue gate working and I'm ready to make my final "slide" but I'm shy one item. I think I'm messing up in Lillie's area, coming up short.

I'll send a picture of where I am so I don't give too much away.

Good for you Bob only 348 restarts - you got me beat

Edit: OMG what a wild ride this was - "Oh my Darlin"

Each area contained a level in itself.

Needless to say, You may have invented this in your dreams but I definately know that's ALL I'm gonna be seeing for the next several days.

This was purely a delight to work thru, thanks for the hint at the start and thank you Bob, for the timer hint when I got

.

Excellant fun thru and thru and beautiful to look at as well.

What a romantic story Mahaloof!
Don't you think this level is a bit on the small side? Not that size matters of course.

I can't even get past the beginning. The box on the ice gets me every time. Is there some trick to getting past it?

Anyway my dear, it's a spectacular looking level and a lovely tribute to our King and Queen of level making.

Kisses to you too!

Mahaloof · Post by **Mahaloof** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 5:56 pm

Yes, tis romantic, isn't it? (*sigh*) OK, a few hints to get the crowds started:
The Lillie puzzle involves saving the Red timer for last. No too many options, so y'all will figure it out.
The Kiki puzzle revolves around using a Plasma cube as a bumper to reach the wood box. The latter object is supposed to enter the water leading to the upper part. Use the 2nd Plasma cube to solve a problem you just created.

Hope this helps...
And in the middle area: 3 wood boxes each. Good luck!!

Have fun, Liz...

Your levels are so compelling! You just hate to get so far, and give up. A very funny story line, and a beautifully designed level. I especially liked the ending "puzzle".

Thanks for this!

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 10:04 pm

I'm with Lizzie....I can't get past the box either

Mahaloof · Post by **Mahaloof** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 10:40 pm

OK, a little more help then:

There's no way to get past the boxes like that. First, get the light blue and green boulders out. Then activate the dark blue one and get the coin. Then, when the boulder is rolling around on the ice lane, step on red and see the miracle happen...

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 1:13 am

Hey Loofah! I got er done, OMG! Now I can go on with my normal life,

First Thanks for the level, I'm honored, Second what an incredible journey, I'm awed by the intricate puzzles you designed and then fit them all together, I tackled them one by bloody one, Thanks to a friend from the north with some help on the opening timers, I tried every combo but the one that mattered.
I about died of laughter reading all the signs, what a sweet story.
I was ready for a good night sleep after that walk.
Brilliant work all the way, Thanks again!

What an epic level

Spent the whole afternoon and part of the evening in there and had the hardest time with Qookies part saving the needed boxes.
Excellent fun, Mahaloof. Dank je wel

Loirae · Post by **Loirae** » Tue Aug 28, 2007 11:17 pm

Wahooeee!!!! What a love story. Strangely, I had the hardest time getting one or both of them to stop playing on the merry go round ainstead of kissing goodnight. I guess they still wanted to play.

Brilliant box/ice puzzles in there. And the opening was compelling, too.

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 3:17 pm

Ok I'd like to go on with my normal life too

I just can't get this one. I got movement, thanks to Bobster I got Peegue out and moved. Got the pink covered and now I have one character in the blue sphere area with cubes and steel boxes and wood boxes and the red dude OH MY and Peegue is just staring at the boxes and conveyors in his area with no clue what to do.

I know what I want to do but it won't work for me. I need some serious help here perty please

Mahaloof · Post by **Mahaloof** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 5:59 pm

RIGHT!!! Puzzle Solving Squad...... Solve......Puzzle!!!

The nice part about this nice part is that you can retrieve the 6 woodboxes in any order you like. Isn't that nice?

Now then: on the Lillie side you can give all three Sticky Cubes a push. The grey boulder goes into the water too, and the 2 Steel boxes go into the lava patch. Don't worry about that woodbox getting blown to smithereens on the left, it's one of the Expendables. Now gently step onto the conveyor taking you to the left. Push the Plasma cube as far left as you can safely go and bring the other Plasma cube to collide with the rightmost Plasma thing to bring out the woodblock on the right. Isn't it wonderful?

Right next to the one remaining Plasma there's a false wall. Check it out...
One woodbox you can safely retrieve by way of the ice slide now. Through the blue gate with it!
Then, you can step on the upper rightmost conveyor to bring another woodbox next to the Plasma. Use a secret passageway to walk around and retrieve same as first box.
One to go! But something's missing... If you haven't noticed yet: walking out to a certain spot activates the thing you need to get behind the 2 woodboxes by the fire. One is Expendable, the other goes left and... through the blue gate with it!

On the Kiki side it's three distinct mini-puzzles.
In # 1, push the box and move UP immediately, thereby turning the conveyor around befóre the box reaches it. It then will come back the same way and you need to make the same move again in order to stay out of its way ánd to push it south and out. Timing is tight, but very doable. Make sure you collected the coin on the little ice patch first, as that's your exit.
In # 2, slide towards the box and you'll both end up in the same spot, warm and cozy. Move out of the puzzle and back in again. Immediately follow the box and see the miracle happen.
In # 3, give the box a push and let it come back. Then push it again and follow it. Tadaaa!

If you have difficulty getting the blue gates open, let me know...

HAVE FUN!!!

Thanks to Bob I got almost to the end....I can't get Kiki and Lillie to KISS! Although I sure feel like I'm on some kinda ride here

please may I have some help? Again

Mahaloof · Post by **Mahaloof** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 11:08 pm

They MUST kiss. It's a Love Story!

However you move here, one of the lovers will end up going in impatient circles. The other should move from the Transporters towards the middle of the square in such a way that they Kiss (or bömp, as inspector Clouseau would say). One should end up in the middle and the other in the upper lane. Then, however you move, the lover in the middle will end up making the rounds. Now the one in the upper lane should enter the scene of battle, but again, in such a way that they Kiss. If you do it too early, they will both chase each other forever. So the bömp is essential. You'll see they will Kiss several times. Such a passionate couple.... (*sigh*)

Maha! My goodness what a lovely story

All that kissin' in the end was gettin' kinda sappy though.

Great stuff Thanks! And thanks to Bob and Loirae for the help

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 8:30 pm

All that kissing with Keeks!!! OH MY!!!!

Or should I say "Oh my darling!"

That mullet just has to go Keekster!

Too funny Loofah - what a laugh! Not the level - that was VERY serious

This has taken me weeks to work through (with a little help from your clues on here and also with some help from a friend) I finally made it to the last section

Had a quick smooch and finally made it home!

For a while I was thinking

!

Very clever as always and an excellent design and funny signs! That opening move was coolio and the next ice section was really tricky dicky!

Very clever and thanks so much for this level - it was ACE!

Now, as we say in London,

so it is time for a beer!

CHEERS LOOFAH!

An interesting level, carefully designed. Thanks!
