426LIZM - What-a-Mess goes to the Circus

My brain's been feeling like spaghetti this week, and this level is a bit of a mess. Help Stinky tidy it up pleeeeeese!

No game sprites were harmed in the making of this level.

Using my circustent texture which you'll have if you downloaded the Pirate Quest series.

What-a-lot-of-Fun.

I bumped into one of the circus folks a time or two trying to set things up for the light blue timer but that problem was solved by looking ahead a little.

Great stuff to figure out Liz, thanks a bunch!

Ah, What-a-Mess, that name takes me back.

I think he's one of yours, isn't he Lizzie?

I bet Stinky's mess is nowhere near as bad as my Chris's bedroom!!

Yes Poop-deck, he was a favourite storybook character, and just like one of my doggies, only she's a girl. Here she is laughing at me because she rolled in something nasty in the woods:

I have spilled my blood over this one!

Finally after two days of trying every impossible approach, Stinky got out alive with a well deserved gold coin.

Blimey Lizzie - could I please have a hint on what to do with the blue sphere's at the start please

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 11:45 am

I need help too

at what to do with the red sphere?

I''ve gotten all my coins, all the gates open except I can't seem to keep the light blue gate open. Each time I think I have it, that blasted red sphere keeps going off into nowheres land.

Yep me too...I can get the upper left area in a manner that I think is right, the problem I'm having is getting that cyan timer covered. I know what I want to do but can't get it done

Of course what I want to do and what is the right way are probably totally different critters!

So you have sort of done the blue spheres then? Share with me purty please and I will try and help you a bit further on - if I can!

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 1:00 pm

Okay send me the blue spheres

if I had more to work with I could do it and maybe I could help you out

or do you all have a different puzzle than what I have

I've looked twice since your comment and yup mine is red

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 1:04 pm

Ok girlies now you have me confoozled. I don't have any blue spheres in this one. I have it on those on the next one. I'll send you how I handled the blue spheres on the next one......hmmm maybe that's my problem on this one, I haven't found a blue sphere!

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 1:10 pm

Robyn

if she thinks they are blue, go with it okay

Edit: If Lizzie isn't around I can help you with the boomy boys but I'm still stuck on the cyan (light) blue button.

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 1:30 pm

Told you I was 39% stoopid didn't I?

I am SO very sorry for the confusion - I do indeed mean the other Circus level

What a total bananehead!

Sorry girls! I can't do this one either!

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 1:56 pm

Ok here's where I'm stuck. I finally figured out the cyan timer but I can't leave!

I keep thinkin' I need another box to fill that hole over there by the red TP. But I don't have one! Anyone got a spare they can lend me

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 2:01 pm

PM sent Robyn

PM sent to you too Bananahead

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 2:43 pm

Thanks Cathy!!!

This sure was a doozie Lizzie. Ordered mattered a lot! I just couldn't see some of the stuff and how to get it where I wanted.

Whew

finally got outta there. Now I'm off to the next one. I'm sure I'll be yellin' fer help over there too hehehe

It's snowing and windy and totally yucky out so it looks like today is a Wonderland day

Man oh man, do you girlies have me confused. I need help on the blue spheres at the beginning also, only I have no idea which level they're in now!!!

I've tried everything and still can't get it. I'm also missing one box!

Please help, please, please help!

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 5:47 pm

Jeepers Liz this sure had my brain fried. I hate it when I can't think outside the box. I knew exactly where I wanted to send that red sphere but it wouldn't bounce

Thanks to Robyn I was able to see where I was going wrong!

Thanks for this brain strainer. I need to get back into the swing of things and get my head out of the clouds

Dizzy help is on the way

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 8:34 am

Sorry I haven't been around much. I'm terribly busy this week, and am out again today.

I'll post a spoiler later this afternoon.

Thanks for playing, and sorry to have made such a stinker.

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 1:12 pm

Don't be sorry about the stinker Lizzie. That's what makes it FUN too! We all work together to find out way out. I love your levels, easy ones, medium ones and the real stinkers!!

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 4:23 pm

Thanks Robyn!

Here's the L--O--N--G walkthrough for this stinker.

Walkthrough

1. Stand on the red button to let first kaboom into top right room. Then slide left until the other kaboom has passed. Stand on the blue button to let him into the bottom left room. Be careful for the rest of the level not to let the kabooms out or to smash them in the gates.
2. Go through the yellow gate and when safe tramp up to collect the coins in the top right room. Tramp right and lean on the pink gate until it opens, quickly sliding down and back before it shuts. Now walk back round to the middle corridor and back through the yellow gate. Push the wooden box up over the tramps and leave it there for now. Push the ice cube up, then slide round to tramp it under the gate. Walk round and when gate is open quickly push the ice cube up and step back down. Tramp up and right, stepping on the conveyor button and then jumping over the cube and quickly pushing it right and into the corner above the cyan timer.
3. Now go through the green gate. Step right and push the red sphere left. Push the left steel box up and through the red TP. Jump over and collect the coins. Push the box right – it’s on a trampoline so you jump over, and push it left through the red TP to land in the water. Down the middle corridor again and back through the green gate. Slide up the ice to push the steel box down. Now push it left and up through the red TP. Push the red sphere left and the ice cube left to beside the white TP. Push the red sphere up through the red TP and quickly push the ice cube left through the white TP. The cyan timer is now activated.
4. Go down through the green gate and then the yellow gate. When safe jump up and push the box up over the tramp. Tramp right and push the box left along the top corridor and through the red TP.
5. Walk back down the middle corridor and tramp left to get the last coin. This ice cube is for the dark blue button. Push it all the way left and follow over the tramps pushing it back right to the square above the blue button. Go down through the yellow gate and tramp up through the top right room and up into the top corridor. Walk down the middle corridor again. When safe push the ice cube down over the tramp. It bounces back above Stinky. When the kaboom passes the blue gate, push the cube onto the button and step into the room to collect the bonus coins. Wait at the top of the room when the kaboom comes back in again, then go out and tramp down and right into the bottom right room.
6. Now tramp up and left, walk up the middle corridor, left through the red TP, and taking care with the last gates opening and closing, you EXIT!

Thanks for the walkthrough Lizzie - I sure needed it!

It still took me a few tries following your spoiler and I got right to the end and got gated!!!!!

DANGY!

Another few restarts and I finally completed it!

Ace puzzler and very, very clever Missus!

Many thanks

Happy Birthday Lizzie

Have a wonderful day hon! xxx

Crikey Liz, No way could I have sorted this out anytime soon I had to check the spoiler to make some headway, Thanks for that btw!
This one was like a circus with all the chaos, I can only imagine how you thought this one up, You got me good on this one.
Brilliant work! Thanks I think!

This was a lot of fun to figure out, Liz! I'm slowly working my way through the other mess.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 12:13 am

Gosh, what a mess that was. I was starting out in the green room, only because I spied where the metal boxes and red sphere had to go but the cubes weren't going where I wanted so I had to come check for a spoiler. I was reading the posts and wondering where the blue spheres were hidden cause I didn't see any. I knew where all the mess had to go just not how some of it went.

Great level Liz, can't wait to play the others. I'll catch up sooner or later.
