New Level from Bob and Lutz (adv) - An Agency Drama

Lutz · Post by **Lutz** » Fri May 02, 2008 1:14 pm

A coproduction from Bob and me - a bit tricky in parts but you wouldn't expect anything else

The brick texture is Mette's. Thanks

The one who first finds the deeper meaning of the level title wins a dinner with me (but you have to travel

).

The cooperation with you was a pleasure, Bob

And now have fun

Well I don't know the "deeper" meaning of the title and I am a little lightheaded to think about it right now. I realized that when I got to the end of this one I forgot to breath. This was fantastic all the way through. That beginning was a doozy. I can even tell you how many times I died through it all, but I did get the gold. Thanks for a fantastic coproduction.

I'm still working on this gem but I'm gonna send you my guess as to the "deeper meaning".
Maybe I'll be back with the gold

What a treat this is........off to try my luck

Lutz · Post by **Lutz** » Fri May 02, 2008 3:01 pm

Wow, Chickie, you're quick

Cathy, got your PM, but probably it's more fun for all when you discuss An Agency Drama publicly

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Fri May 02, 2008 3:04 pm

Okay, here is what I sent!

Could the meaning be a "busy work place with alot of gossiping people?"

Edit: All I can say is WOW!!!! Hats off to both of you, this was awesome. That start was fiendish but brilliant. Thank you

As to the meaning, I'm still stuck on the work place

That's wrong

Excellent puzzling guys, I had the hardest time with my timing at the start, Great beginning!
I really liked the right side moves with the box and sphere.
Deeper meaning, The only thing that comes to mind is "What lies beneath"
Or "Board room drama"

Nice collaboration, thanks for the fun!

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Fri May 02, 2008 8:22 pm

Well I am still getting bashed on the head at the start by the goobie gen!

But I DO have the answer to your puzzle boys!

CANADA GERMANY

From an English girl!

Excellent Lillie

You're invited for dinner

Give me a call a day in advance, please

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Fri May 02, 2008 9:23 pm

Maybe you can come here for dinner?

Then maybe you can help me with this stinker level!

Corn dogs and pizza OK?

I am nearly there actually - just gotta try and beat that red sphere top right!

Lutz · Post by **Lutz** » Fri May 02, 2008 9:30 pm

So you think you're nearly there...

Pizza is o.k. but I don't eat dogs

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Fri May 02, 2008 9:54 pm

Holy moly this was sure a doozie boys er uh MEN!

I got out without one bonus coin but of course I had to try again and got it.

Wow what timing, what mechanics, what NOISE!!!

Thanks a ton for this, you two should make more together!

If you're trying to get the box, go at it from the right side.

BTW, nice job on deciphering the anagram. I'll buy you dinner as well, there's a nice litttle place here in Toronto that I like. Let me know when and I'll make reservations. Bring Stan and we'll make a party out of it!

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Sat May 03, 2008 2:15 am

Boy, I sure was waaaay out in left field,

Nice work Lilz!

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sat May 03, 2008 9:51 am

I think this is really cruel.

Canada & Germany? Seems to me like WW2.

Lutz I was thinking you don't like those tricky quickfinger / milliseconds timing things either and now you're doing this to someone else?

BTW England & Germany;

Enjoy your dinner together and have a good time.

Lutz wrote: I don't eat dogs

Not even when they're hot?

Maybe I try this later again

Edit:

So that was it!

I had completely no idea.

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sat May 03, 2008 12:29 pm

To reconsider my opinion; Hooray for Germany and Canada! (and England

) I kept trying and when I finally was able to do the first "war" part, I changed it with the editor so that I didn't need to do that

first part over and over again

for that really was bad for my nerves

And there was one thing I never had seen before and I even didn't know:

That it's not possible to move a keg above a ufo-mothership and that the ship first needed to be destroyed. That was the reason for the other keg wasn't it? "I hope you destroy that boulder"

But when I finally knew that the rest was almost self-evident.

I enjoyed it!

After all a genius level! So LUBO, thanks for the fun.

PS. Bob, are you originally Dutch maybe? For Mahaloof said such once if I'm right and your last name seems Dutch to me as well.

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Sat May 03, 2008 1:27 pm

Yes, I was born in Amsterdam.

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Sat May 03, 2008 1:38 pm

Finally got this stinkeroonie level! You two are nutters!

I was making a mistake with the two-way conveyor and therefore was sending the newly generated boulder back to the starting room!

That beginning room was very funny and kinda cool once you got your rythmn (can't spell that

) going

So - dinner some time, somewhere between Canada, England and Gemany! Can't wait!

Thanks boys - lots of fun!

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Sat May 03, 2008 2:13 pm

I can get the first part, tried the second and landed on u-know-what. rattled me so bad I had to quit for a bit, but I'll give it another try later. You two sure put your heads together on this one. Stinkeroonie is right.

Edit: Awesome you two, once I played that first part a gazillion times I found the rest easy. This was so much fun, you both did a bang up job, I enjoyed every last restart but I enjoyed the ride to the end more. Now to go soak poor Stinky's feet.

Thanks you Bob and Lutz for a great collaboration.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Sat May 10, 2008 2:18 pm

I've been trying this, on and off for days on end (ie. with the sound switched OFF

)

My timing is hopeless, and I just can only get out of the first area about 1 try in 25. Then I keep messing up later and having to restart another 25 times. My count is up to about 425 restarts so far.

Giving up for now.

You two make a truly dastardly team!!!!!

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Sat May 10, 2008 2:47 pm

Well Lizzie, there's no secret way to handle the first section. I'm afraid you have to get the timing right...sorry, hon.

Lutz · Post by **Lutz** » Sat May 10, 2008 3:43 pm

Sorry, Liz, that goobie part is mine

Here's how I do it after collecting the coins:

Last coin you collect is the one on the water where the goobs fall down.
Grab the coin and step down.
Now you have to push up the pink cube. When it hits the 2nd tramp wait a moment (not too long and not to short) - then follow and jump up and down. Push goob into water and repeat.

Yes Lutzie - I know this is how to do it because I can do it 1 time in 25 but it's getting that timing right. Maybe I need a drink!

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Sat May 10, 2008 6:20 pm

I too played with the sound off for the first part. Then I realized I could get my timing down if I could see and hear when the goobs were being spit out and when they landed. It helped me but that doesn't mean much hehehe

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Sun May 11, 2008 4:12 pm

I'm still staggering round in a daze here.

I can now do the first bit about 1 time in 5, so that's an improvement, YES?

But now I'm totally stuck. I can't see what I'm supposed to do. What I've done is obviously wrong, but I can't go fast enough to push that red sphere up or down, which I suppose is what I should do, YES/NO?

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Sun May 11, 2008 4:16 pm

Let me replay it and I'll get right back to you.

Okay, once you get past Lutz's sinister goob machine push the keg one tile right then walk down and around it, grab the coins tramp up and back.

Now send the keg up and it will take care of the UFO.

Follow the keg, walk up and push the box into the water and take the coin on your left, you'll slide back down.

Tramp back up and right and push the lower keg up and onto the ice flow, it will destroy the top boulder, wait a bit for the red gate to open then slide up and push the boulder into the water.

The box is easily attainable by coming at it from the top right and then it too goes in the drink.

Need more, just whistle!

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Mon May 12, 2008 8:12 am

You must be getting well tired of me!!!!!

I was doing all the first part right, up to pushing the boulder down into the water. Now I've done that.

As you can see from the screenshot, I've pushed the boulder and the box into the drink, but still have nothing to put in the lower waterhole to get across to the right hand side. I went back and destroyed the next circulating boulder in the hope that something else would happen, or that I could push a pink cube to the right, but no luck.

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Mon May 12, 2008 8:23 am

Hi Liz.

As far I can see the boulder that came from the bottom of the gen has gone into the wrong direction. For the 2 direction conveyor is now to the right so the boulder has gone to the left. If that boulder was gone to the right then were on the place where Stinky stands now 2 boulders and you could push the wood in the lower water.

I hope this helps

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Mon May 12, 2008 8:40 am

Mari-Madonna is correct Lizzie - I too kept making that mistake! I only realised it when I saw a boulder circling around on the first ice part

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Mon May 12, 2008 12:53 pm

Thanks so much Marinus and Lillie! I can see what I'm doing wrong now.

I'll give it a try and then get back to you after about the next 5 moves
