New Level (adv) - Damn Rafts!

This could be a bit stinky, my apologies in advance.

Using the 'DarkGreen' texture, thanks Mette!

I was expecting something "stinky" but found nothing of the sort - it was just a smooth ride, half the objects were not used and the whole journey took just 38 seconds.

(update: got it down to 26 seconds)

Yea, I'm not surprised you got it so fast...I forgot the white gate.

I fixed it. It should be a touch more difficult now.

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 3:40 am

Yea, now it is much more difficult - I got to the gate at almost the last tick.

Amazing level - I believe that there are a few ways to do it, but some are more difficult (it is possible to use several barrels, for example).

Ok Bob,

I had to work last night but I took a quick look at your level before going to work. We were very busy but whenever there was a lull in activity I thought about how to solve the level. I thought I had it all figured out---wrong

My memory of the level was totally wrong. I started with a clean slate and finished with a gold star.

All I can say is "Damn Rafts"

Thanks

Michelle

No idea at all with this one. Got everything covered except that damn white button. I just can't get the white button covered. I know how I'm supposed to do it (I think?) but I can't get a raft into the right place, and then get off again to push stuff.

I know it's too soon for spoilers, but I'll be looking out for one.

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 4:56 pm

Me too but my problem is the pink button. Can't leave what I want to leave in the right place to get er done.

I'll be waitin' with Lizzie hehehe

Got any of those crumpet thingies with ya?

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Sun Feb 10, 2008 5:22 pm

Here's a little nudge,

I send a blue sphere and the prism over the tramp to help create a path

Hope that helps.

I have been on this ever since you put the white gate in, It was a walk in the park before that.
I finally quit wasting a vital piece of equipment and made some real headway and walked into the exit, I read your hint, But I'm sure I did it a bit different, Either way twas brilliant work, Thanks Bob!

Just one last thing...%$#@ Damn rafts.

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 12:01 pm

Could I have the version WITHOUT the white gate please

I have spent about two hours on this Bobster - I can't stop doing the same thang which is obviously the wrong thang

I can get all the coins except the old chestnut in the white gate! What I cannot do is get a raft in the right spot to push something over the tramps pour le button blanc. I can get two things in the water after the first tramp but then I am soogar boogered!

Bit more help please

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 12:13 pm

The white gate is my problemo also. I got everything else covered and collected.

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 2:48 pm

Hmmm now I was having trouble with the pink gate and today I got that first try. I never did cover the white button though. Now I have to go back and see where this white gate is yer all talkin' about

Oh and FUN level Bobster!!! Especially since I could get it hehehe Thanks handsome

Edit: I don't have a white gate

I have a white button but no white gate.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 3:30 pm

Hi Robyn and Lillie and Monica - here's the crumpets freshly toasted.
Anyone else want some?

Robyn - How come you haven't got a white gate? Mine's in the bottom left corner and I wish I could kick it right out of the level.

I've been trying this for HOURS and I've done what Bob said, but that doesn't help with getting a raft in the right place.

We're waving the white flag here Bob. More help please!

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 4:22 pm

Bottom left by the ice curves I have a blue gate.....Bobster? Did you change sumpin' here? Did I get the easy one? hehehe I like easy! er I am easy? Uh...never mind

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 9:31 pm

Robyn, if you read the third post from the top you will understand the 'white gate' situation.

I will assume that everyone has made it past the generator and onto the first raft. Here's how I do it from there, of course there are probably other ways.

-yellow sphere left
-raft down to pink button, cross over and raft left
-boulder/sphere up, collect coin, yellow sphere right onto raft and pink button
-walk up and collect coin on ice slide, take top raft down
-tramp up and take top raft left and down
-tramp back up and take right raft down to the break-tile, step across and raft up below the white button
-take the left raft back and stop left of the tramp, jump over and raft back to the pink button
-raft back to the boulder in the water
-tramp up and raft back down so you have three rafts in a row above the boulder
-now use the prism as a blocker and send one blue sphere over the tramp into the water, position the other sphere to follow later and then send the prism over the tramp
-raft back to pink button and place a raft beside the sunken prism
-get the coin from the red chomper and raft back to main island
-push sphere over tramp, collect coins, curse Bob, go home!

Good luck!

So you used no barrel, Bob?

I used one, but I can also see how the level can be solved using several (but then it is not easy to keep the chomper from interfering).

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 10:31 pm

Actually I tried using a barrel technique but I kept getting blown up!

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 10:45 pm

Oh goody I got it before ya made it right hehehe

I ain't goin' back. I got my Gold and I suck at those kinds of puzzles so I'm keepin' my star and ain't givin' it up

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Tue Feb 12, 2008 11:44 pm

Using the first barrel (the one that is already there from the beginning) is easy, but it is difficult to extract two from the alligator's jaws (and dump them in the water successfully). Using one barrel I didn't need to use two of the spheres (the yellow ones remained ashore till the end) and the prism was only used as a door-stop.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 1:00 am

push sphere over tramp, collect coins, curse Bob, go home

I ain't goin' back. I got my Gold and I suck at those kinds of puzzles so I'm keepin' my star and ain't givin' it up

chicken

Thanks for the help Bob. I had collected the coin from in front of the chomper before hand so I had to trick him, wasn't sure how I even pulled this one together. Even with your spoiler I got a bit confused with so many rafts but I still managed to get that button covered and that's all that mattered. This was fun figuring out, thanks...

Jumping Jehosephat! Was that some level! I'm not sure if I want to thank you yet!!!

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 12:51 pm

Thanks so much for the walkthrough Bobster - that was really intricate and I had to follow your every move!!!!

I was NOWHERE near solving it your way - was doing all sorts of things with a barrel and was sending both the boulder and the green sphere over the tramps

Very tricky and very clever - muchos thanks Doooooode

PS: You were well cursed I can tell ya!

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 1:20 pm

But Lillie, you were doing it just like me!

Oh I am so happy that I have been "connected" in some way with Amnon's mega-level-solving brain!

Only difference is you solved it "our" way and I didn't

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 2:15 pm

Done it at last Bobster!

I was using the Amnon/Lillie solution too, but couldn't make it work.

Step by step got me there. Quite a workout.

What a convoluted brain you have mate! Thanks (I think)
