377LIZM - Pirate Quest 21 The Flying Dutchman

On the high seas at last, Loof has his first encounter with The Flying Dutchman.

Using the same "ship" texture that I used for PQ17 and 20, so you should have it already.

Also using an assortment of models from Popo. Thanks so much Pauline.

This is a new mixture so you will need to download the model file.

EDIT: I've posted a revised version so that Loof has to exit in the lower left corner if you want a gold star. An extra gate has been added to exclude a jump to the top island.

Malaloof, the Flying Dutchman had a bit of a problem. Loof-Lad came to save him. They worked together to get rid of the baddie. Loof-Lad went in search of treasure and Pegnose Peegue, while Malaloof got his ship in order. Great fun! Thanks Liz!

Loof has saved the day and the 'Flying Dutchman' is sailing off into the sunset!

Thanks Lizzie,

Great teamwork level and not always easy to switch between the two ships

One step closer to Jellyfish Island. Thanks, Liz

Malaloof, the Flying Dutchman had a bit of trouble with that ghost on his ship but with some help fron Loof-Lad they took care of the problem but not before the ghost got Malaloof a few times before the Lad had time to react. Then with some team work they loaded the cannon. Loof Lad is once again off on his quest.

This was a thinker stinker. Wasn't sure at 1st what I needed. Malaloof was running around trying to read signs and being chased by a ghost........whew. The the lad didn't know if he was going to need that metal box, since he saw 2 buttons over there on the other ship. Another great one Liz. Enjoying this quest.

Wasn't sure I was gonna be able to post on this, so soon - due to that rascally ghost. Him and me tangled way too much

Had to play the level and then go back and read your signs

was too worried about taking care of that scurvy ghost and the fire lizard was booted outta there.

Excellant fun all the way, thank you.

Just thought of something....

Malaloof, the flying dutchman

Sort of fits him seeing as he just took his first flight and all.

Yarr! He's the Flying Dutchman for that very reason Monica!

Popo - where did you get those brilliant smilies? Did you make them?
I want the Piratey one.

popo · Post by **popo** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 10:48 am

Yep I made em, well I'm in the process of makin' em. Copy the URL in the properties menu when you right click it, and put it between Img tags like you would a picture.

I'm hoping Patrick will put em on the forum when I've done em.

Take your pick.....

Finally got the timing right for the jump to the island, I had been looking for a way to get rid of the cannon but couldn't find one. I have to admit to looking in the editor at the start cos the ghostie wouldn't leave the Flying Dutchman alone long enough to see what I had to do.

Off to search for Jellyfish Island now, me hearties.

EDIT
Pirate smilies now available under 'view more emoticons' when posting a message. Thanks Patrick.

You had me going on this one Liz. But Loofie finally saw his way through the fog and bid farewell to Flyguy Mahaloof. He was a little afraid to enter the cave at the end however, as it was bumping around like a bad case of indigestion!

(Great smilies Popo, thanks!!)

wonderlandlover · Post by **wonderlandlover** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 4:21 pm

I died more times than I care to count from the ghost in the beginning, and killed the shadow stinker more than a few times! This was a very tough adventure!

I am wondering how many people actually exited the bottom exit? Loof did!

Thanks!

I didn't, left that for the next adventure and went to help the Flying Dutchman

I can't get enough time to figure it out yet

Mahaloof · Post by **Mahaloof** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 4:55 pm

What a thrill to be part of Pirate Quest!! Big kiss, Liz...

I haven't gotten this far yet, but I will. Looks clompicate with that ghost floating around...

What? There wa a bottom exit? Now I'll have to go look again.

Brilliant level, Liz! (love the smilies, popo!)

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 5:32 pm

Looks like there are many ways to do this as well.

Jump to the island? Loof was meant to ride there on the transporter.

Maybe I'll have to revise this one.

Thanks Patrick for making the Pirate smileys available.
And mega thanks Pauline for making them in the first place!

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 5:51 pm

Here's the revised version. Now Loof has to exit in the lower left corner if you want a gold star. Also you can't jump to the upper island.

Maybe LooptheLoop Loirae can!

My Loof did too! Had to leave Malaloof to take care of his ship!

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 6:43 pm

Wow did I mess this poor thing up bad! I finally figured out that there was a generator DUH! I wasn't getting rid of what I had to in the beginning to get that baby going so I was totally confoozled! Then I had to jump to the exit also cuz I couldn't figure out how to get what I needed in the right spot to build a bridge to exit out the bottom left. SHEESH whatta goober I am today!

Good thing I had the flying Dutchman to help out! Great fun Lizzie....not sure if I'm ready to try the revised version yet

popo · Post by **popo** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 7:11 pm

You mean I wasn't supposed to jump in front of the cannon?????

No wonder I was having a hard time doing it.

I can see I'm gonna have to have another go at this one. Good job I'm a masochist that's all I can say.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Tue Aug 21, 2007 8:27 pm

Oops, I had Loof use the tramps also. Malaloof pushed one box in the brink first before Loof sent the transporter over with the rolling rock, and he did exit out the bottom but only because I couldn't get him back to where Malaloof was because I put the wood box in the brink there.

I did get the cannon part right though.

You'll be making a revised version for every level you create, because no matter what someone is going to find a loop hole or a different way to do it. Makes it more interesting..........

Off to play the revised version.

OK, sorry Liz, I just don't know how to get rid of all the boxes if Loof rides the transporter over to Malaloof. He still had to send it by boulder then tramp over there even though you said he couldn't, but he did. Then he exited out the bottom while the dutchman went out the upper exit.

Of course I can!

I'm not sure what you changed other than adding the stuff at the bottom. But Looflad collected all those coins, stood at the bottom exit, and said, "Huh. The dutchman seems to need help getting his coins!" So looflad went back to the boat, then tramped over to Mahaloof's ship, helped him gather the coins and they both went below deck for a couple mugs of rum.

Still much fun!!

Finally got to the revised version. Other than absolutely having to go out the bottom with one of the gang I finally figured out the box generator DUH!!! Got one out the bottom and one out the top!

Off to the next adventure!!!

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Wed Aug 22, 2007 5:42 pm

Finally got this one done, dangy doo Liz, I kept trying to do the impossible and I didn't see the one ghost dude at first and why you ask! Cuz i kept shooting him by having Stinky hide from the other ghost dude by standing on the blue button, DOH!!!

I just couldn't figure out what I was missing all along.
Once I got that part sorted I flew down to the caves and I say that Looflad is a brave soul, He went right in, Mahaloof went on his merry way after helping out.
Brilliant and dangerous level, Thanks for the fun, now I can carry on!

Ha ha ha, just played the revised version and found it much easier than the first one. That red gate helped save my bum from blisters ... AND ... only while playing this one did I realise I could take a raft to the island instead of jumping there

I wish I'd noticed that the first time.

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Fri Aug 24, 2007 4:18 pm

Spent an age on this one Pirate Master Lizzie

I just wasn't seeing what the cannon's use was for and was even entering that area and getting blocked in

Finally got my act together and both pirates made it home in one piece - eventually! That damn spooky ghost deserves to walk the plank!

This level looked brillaint - you are so good at creating ambience and fun in your levels!

Many thanks

Took several restarts before I realized what I was doing wrong! Finally got the help in the right places so Loof-Lad and the Flying Dutchman could get everything done! Great fun, thanks!
