New Level (adv) - First Flight, Departure!

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Thu Jun 21, 2007 12:44 am

Our friend Mahaloof made his first plane flight last week to join some friends of ours in England. Both Kiki and I were unable to be there but we thought it might be fun to celebrate the fact that he finally got his wings!

Keeks and I have combined two levels 'Departure' and 'Arrival' as a set. You don't have to play them back-to-back, but we thought it would be fun to try something a little different.

You will need the model, you don't need the texture but we think it helps!

what a great level all the way around!!! I still haven't completed it, but I do know what to do now... only now I can't get by the UFO (could while I was confused- LOL) what an awesome fun tribute you and Kiki paid to Mahaloof!

Cute pic, too!

Mahaloof FINALLY departed. Took him many, many tries to get his flight plan organized

but he eventually flew off into the wide blue yonder. Excellent puzzle, Bob, and a wonderful tribute to M

The models were absolutely super -- great job

Hi Bob, I can't open your level. The model is giving me a problem.

Sorry I can't play it

Great idea to put this up for Mahaloof.
Tricky level and fun to play.
Finished yours and am off now to play Kiki's part.
Thanks

Great to have another level from you Bob!

Loved the opening moves, which I got sorted after about 15 tries.
One of the other aircraft was a bit aggressive though.

Mahaloof finally landed safely in London to meet all his buddies!

More please

I'm sorry if that model is giving people trouble. I took it directly from one of Mahaloof's levels so I figured it was fine. I have no idea how to re-size these things so if anyone wants to jump in and help I would be grateful!

Here's the model file resized so that it should work with any graphics card.

So if you're having problems loading the model, just download this one and replace the existing file!

I didn't have any problem with it, but my graphics card isn't picky!

Great fun all the way Bob

and a nice tribute

Got

a few times on the right tramp so I waited like a good little girl

till the boulder did whatever it needed to do

and then was able to make my way down a level. I know there is a left glitchio but didn't realize it happened on the right too.

Thanks for a fun level.

Figured out the Arrival before the Departure - gawd knows where Mahaloof's suitcase ended up

Great fun Bob - I only got that bonus coin the once and can't figure out how I did it again, the gold is almost in reach but landed safely all the same.

Great use of the model

Thanks

Totally AWESOME and thank you so much for this, guys!!

Yep, it was my very first flight ever and I'm 45+, kids. So that means I'm really very old.

I was more afraid that anything might go wrong before that, like certain papers I should have had or something else that everyone knows of but me. The story of my life. And sure enough, I almost missed the plane. My timing at the check-in was spot on. Then I learned that Gate H would open 30 minutes before the plane would take off. However, what I took to be Gate H was actually passport control just before the Taxfree Shopping Area (Someone should tell me about these things, yes?) So I thought I was the first at Gate H, but then, after loads of hallways, conveyor belts and unloading passengers trying to take me the other way, I was the last, just before the Gate closed. Huffing und puffing I knocked on the plane and said in a low voice: "Little stewardess, little stewardess, let me come in."
Still got a window seat when I explained I'd never flown before and I'm not really the big bad wolf.

Finally the plane took a running jump and went waaaay up into the clear blue sky, making the tiny country of Holland even smaller!

My house certainly looked like it wasn't worth the rent.

(...To be continued on Kiki's thread)

Wonderful level Bobster - it looked fab too! Funny signs and loads of fun! Had a right stinker with the beginning - took me ages to work that out!

You and Keeks must have had a right laugh makng these for Mahaloof - BRAVO!

Loofah, Man you are a scream, I can only imagine what it would be like with both you and Bob in the same room, Oh and I'm sure the Dutch invented the Pacific too.

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Sat Jun 23, 2007 3:13 am

Yes yes, great level. Took me ages but I got out without help. Bob yer too kind to do this and you are very talented and FUNNY as hell!!!

Nice tribute and thanks for the great fun!

Took off in 47 seconds :- Stinky did not touch any barrel, red boulder or metal box.

Okay, please PM me and tell me how you managed that!

edit: never mind I figured out how you did it, very clever! Although if I don't push the barrel into the water at the top I can't slide back up through the house, I keep getting blown up by some unseen glitch, beats me

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 11:41 pm

Oops, sorry - Stinky did push the barrel on top, it is the bottom barrels that he did not touch.
