Genoo1 - Rivers

A few weeks ago, Bob sort of challenged me to make a level. This is my effort to respond to that challenge.

Thanks to Bob for his help, suggestions, support and testing.

Thanks to Liz for her texture "Autumn1", which has been used by others before.

Congratulations on getting into the editor Gen!!

Wow! This was an awesome challenge not to mention very complex for a first level! I haven't had time to play lately so I am out of practice for sure but I just had to play your first level! It took a lot of trial and error to figure it out before I discovered the right combinations and techniques in each part! Getting to the exit was the hardest for me to figure out so I probably did it different than intended!

Well done and I look forward to more of your creations when I have more time to play again!

Congratulations Gen, you've crossed over to the "other" side

What a special treat this is. I've been playing and this was a doozy and a half.

It took me several tries to get things in place, a few times we (me and my ball) were stuck on the wrong side

Finally the duo worked out the arrangements and made their way to the gold.

Thank you for a clever puzzler, and I too look forward to more.

This was an absolute delight to help out with. Of course my job was really loop-hole detector and when you design levels with as many loops as I apparently put in them...

A terrific effort with lots of cool twists and some neat sphere moves!

Thanks Gen great fun,

Wow Gen good for you! And yer not kiddin' complex! You have a great style and Bob the looper dooper took out all yer loopers! Hmmm are those even words?

This was confoozling, interesting, mind bending and all around fun to figure out! I came so close to a scream for help but I just couldn't give up so easy on your first!

This was awesome, you make em like you solve em sweetie

More soon?

Alrighty, I can't figure this one out. I've got both boulders rolling over the timers, but I can only cover the blue button and the red button. I know I'm doing something wrong, cause my stinkers are stuck in the upper area. I've tried tramping but quookie keeps landing on a wall or in a tree.

Can I get some help please.

Gen · Post by **Gen** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 11:37 pm

Hi Monica, PM is on the way.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 11:43 pm

Hi Gen, I am so totally stumped on this one!

But all I want is a teensy tiny hint (or PM). In other words, I kinda want to figure some of it out myself (after the tiny hint ofcourse). I am in the same place as Monica was, but I am baffled by the spheres and can't for the life of me, see the way to the other side. A teensy help please.

Gen · Post by **Gen** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 11:48 pm

PM on the way, Dizzy!

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Sat Nov 03, 2007 11:55 pm

I got a pm from Bob also, I had completely forgotten about doing that with the spheres. My brain just isn't functioning lately, thinking about my trip to much, trying to get things together. I remembered the stinker/tramp block but after the fact.

Figured out the end too but my eyeballs are tired so I am leaving this for tomorrow. Thank you Bob and Gen for the PM's and the help.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Sun Nov 04, 2007 12:44 am

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH Gen, you STINKAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

I'm not even finished yet, but had to say this: Never even EVER would have thought about using that as a stopper and never EVER would have remembered you could do that with the boulders. I knew it, but never would've remembered it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are awesome girlie

Ok, now here I go back to figure out the rest. Thanks for the hint.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Sun Nov 04, 2007 3:39 pm

Got it, this was fun Gen, great job for your first level. Quite original, that sphere move hasn't been used in awhile and I think that's why some of us were just lost as to what to do with them.

Took me several tries to get the spheres on the other side going where they needed to be going but finally got it, did mess up a few times with the fumbly fingers syndrome. Great fun Gen, you should do a few more. You've got a knack........Thank you.

My dearest Gen,
I am so happy to see you finally found the editor!

I should have known it would be tricky, after all, we have patiently waited 3 1/2 years for it.

Took me a while, but I finally got the gold. (And enjoyed doing it over and over until I did.)
Good work, keep 'em coming!
Thanks,
jg

COngratulations on a great first level, lots of tricks and twists to suss out. Keep up the good work!

Gen · Post by **Gen** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 6:25 pm

Thanks again to all for playing and for the support!

For anyone who may need it:

Spoiler

For the spheres, place the box above the red sphere on the right. Now push the left red up while at the same time pushing the right red to the right. When one is rolling, you can push another in a different direction. For the blue spheres, place the box to the left of the upper blue. Now you can push the bottom sphere left and at the same time push the upper blue up. Use the box to fill the water hole.

To get to the other side, have Qookie stand at the end of the ice slide as a stopper. Now Stinky can jump R R R R D.

Hi Gen! Congrats on the first level..

I've been admiring this level, but not been able to finish it. I never thought of that Sphere trick!!

However, now that I'm on the other side, I still don't know how to Exit. A teensie weensie little nudge would be appreciated..

Gen · Post by **Gen** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 9:39 pm

Hi Mahaloof, here ya go:

Position the ice cubes as shown in the screenie, then push the boulder right into the water and the green sphere up into the river.

Then push the top ice cube right to the corner (Screen 2). Carefully remove the bonus coin next to the generator. Push the new green sphere up then right and hurry back for the next one. A couple more and you have a pathway to the exit. Run the transporter to collect the coins, then leave it on the upper side so that Qookie can ride it back. Stinky can jump back.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 10:57 pm

GEN I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so excited when I finally got them both to the exit gate; I ran and picked up the phone to call you. LOL

(forgot we're online)

Hint:
I had been trying to do it the way your screenies show, but it wasn't working for me. The way I set the cubes up was the bottom moved to the left one space more (right above the tree) and the top one as a stopper, but had to move it over one square also. Then I could get below the green spheres to push them back up. I also remembered the pink timer trick, but not till I was at the closed pink gate near the exit.

Your level has given me DAYS of fun, trying to figure it out and I'm so glad I finally did! Fantastic level girlie. You should make more

THANKS for the FUN!

tweetyangel · Post by **tweetyangel** » Sat Jun 12, 2010 6:20 pm

What a frustrating level! Even with Gen's spoiler I couldn't get the bottom area to work. After many, many tries, I figured out a different way to do it. If I had read all the way down to Dizzy's post I would have saved myself alot of frustration because that way was alot easier than mine. But I finally got home!!!

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Sun Jun 13, 2010 10:24 am

Thanks for bringing this one back to the top Tweetyangel. I missed it first time round ... must have been on holiday or something.

What an excellent level from Gen! Gen if you're still around, I wish you'd make some more. I had a lot of fun working this one out. I knew what to do with the spheres after all the training we've had from Keeks, but I needed Gen's help about the first green boulder so I could get those coins on the water.

Great fun

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Tue Jun 15, 2010 12:55 pm

What a fascinating level - welcome Gen!

Looking at the posts here, I can see that I solved it very differently.
I only used one of the ice-cubes, and did not take any bonus coins until the very end when it was time to exit (this means that green-spheres were only generated in one direction). Anyway, great fun. Thanks!

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Tue Jun 15, 2010 1:22 pm

All that is left is to grab the 4 bonus coins.

tgravepgrave · Post by **tgravepgrave** » Tue Jun 15, 2010 7:35 pm

I did not read the full spoiler to see if I could complete this on my own. I did complete it a little different than other players. Took many, many tries to get the spheres where I wanted them, but was finally able to master them and both exited

THANKS FOR THE GREAT LEVEL
