Mark!! How did you make a flat space that could be destroyed and then could be walked on (and I'm not talking about the mothership)!??
This was VERY crazy, and VERY fun

I'm proud to have solved it without any hints, although it took many tries

Well, I solved it but even when I got my last coin and made it to safety I was still standing there thinking, "what the....?"

Push the boulder down and left, that should get you started.

What's this? I didn't notice it.

In the lower left corner of the map (outside the wall) there is a water ditch with a reflector in it. The boulder bounces onto it and explodes but still simulates a filled ditch. It's my workaround for the left-side border glitch.

I placed three motherships on the map, which remain invisible while you play.
The Mothership is an editor tool which instructs the game to spawn
new UFO's to those locations, when the last UFO is destroyed.

eta just noticed i missed the e out of something, it wasn't a trick question!!

If you can escape without destroying the UFO, that's perfectly fine.

I destroyed the UFO to score more points, and also because I don't like them.

i don't like them either, but i leave them well alone if i can because they scare me!

plus, i have a heart, and i think about all those little grey people inside them!

What a challenge Mark! Took tons of tries to figure out what to do! I destroyed the ufo and then couldn't dodge the rest because I hadn't figured out how to get back to the exit side!

Figured that out and spared the ufo the next time! Thanks for an awesome puzzler!

Hi Mark - sorry to be so late on this one - but I wasn't getting very far with it all week

OK - I have got quite far on my own actually - which pleases me a lot

However, I am stuck standing by the tramp to the yellow button! Do I have to "gate" the UFO and get the chomp to go over the yellow button? Every time I try that, the chomp gets "gated" instead - so I am stuck in no-man's land

I guess it is just timing? I'd love to finish this cracker!

A wee hint please

EDIT: I managed to get the UFO out of the gate - but now can't get the chomp in

Hi Lillie,

First grab the coin in front of the Yellow Gate.
When the UFO is circling left, counter-clockwise, step on the yellow button.
As the UFO enters the gate, quickly step off the button to destroy it.
Now search your surronding very carefully.

The first time you escape you may have a mishap!

But remember, there's something in the area pictured above that can help you reach the next area safely!

PS: I noticed you removed the tree from my level!

EDIT: The tree that was hiding my generator at the top.

I don't like to leave my generators stark naked!!!

I haven't removed anything Mark - if you look closely at the screenshot - you can just see a pointy bit of tree on the right side. I only made it smaller so that I didn't give anyone else clue's to how the rest is done

Not my thing looking in the Editor - you should know that - that's why I am always posting for help

Here is my full screenshot.

Thanks for the hint.

EDIT: Finally made it - a very clever level Mark - very tricky - many thanks

yay! I finally solved your Phenomenon level after about 20 retries.
I managed to avoid the red dog and watched the spaceships swarm in.

Cool movie VirtLands

I just realized that I never killed the UFO in that level!
Of course, it doesn't seem to be required anyway
