New Level (Adv) Fireball Four

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Sun Apr 13, 2014 8:10 pm

I haven't made a level for awhile so I thought, "what the hey..".

I hope this isn't overly tricky but I have a feeling it might be, sorry. I couldn't think of a way to simplify it.

Using Paulines 'Industrial' texture. Thanks popo.

Welcome back to the Editor, Bob.

I was actually musing today when your next one would appear... and here it is!

Tricky can be a good thing, unless they're too tricky.

EDIT: I finally got my gold star!

That was quite clever, Bob.

I had 4 fireballs flying and I'm hopeful I did it the intended way.

I can see in a general way how it is intended to be, but it's so difficult to get those prisms correctly, so instead I found a different way that requires only one fireball (unlike the sign, so I know it's not the intended way). Of course it is not possible to create only one fireball, but the fewer the easier.

Maybe I should try again to do it as intended when I've got the time.

Hey Bob!

It's good to see you back with a level. I have the top part finished and am working on the bottom. Be back much later : )

Hi Bob! Great to see another level from you.

As usual I have no idea how to proceed, and am trapped by the continuous fireball at the top of the level.

I'll keep trying of course.

Some help for the start:
Make certain the blue timer is activated then jump into the black tp and immediately step back onto it from the light blue one. Step back when the two boulders approach, then back in to the black again. You need to get both rafts to the left of the black tp so you can push the keg through the blue tp and eventually follow yourself.

Thanks for the advice Bob. I'm not trapped in a fireball any more, but I still can't make any progress.

Back later

Here's a bit more if needed,
I use the prisms to re-direct fire into the reflector room thus destroying the two boxes then I push the top right reflector into the ice slide room and onto the far right conveyor button. I then push the bottom right reflector over and push it the same as the first one. When the time is right I push them again and they both go up one after the other while I stay on the conveyor button and they destroy the chomps in one huge burst. There is a fair bit of rafting around involved...probably too much.

Hi Bob
Thanks for the hints, I couldn't find a reasonable use for the prisms.
But now the phalanx of chompers is history.

A fantastic puzzle with an amazing solution. It's great to see you back to the editor.

Hi Chip,

I couldn't find a reasonable use for the prisms.

3 prisms for 3 chompers.

Sorry Bob - I just can't do it. I've tried for days on and off but it's too difficult for me. I can't get a prism into the box room at all.

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 10:55 am

Hi Liz,

I can't get a prism into the box room at all.

Then perhaps you like to try it my way - I didn't bring any prism to the box room.

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Sun Apr 20, 2014 3:05 pm

I would try Amnon's way Liz. It sounds much simpler way than my convoluted solution.

Has anybody else posted a level they wish they could take back and entirely re-do?

I've come close with Electronic Arts.

All the time, Bob.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Mon Apr 21, 2014 8:11 am

Me too - I often replay old ones of mine and wish I'd done various things differently.

I groan every time I post a level.
