New level - Have a drink

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sat May 17, 2008 8:55 pm

Just an easy level for the fun.

(For lazy people like me

) Maybe it should be in the kids levels part but kids shouldn't drink that much.

Thanks to an idea from Dizzy's morning level. Thank you dear.

Edit: I think the level was a bit too easy so I added a revised version.

Yippee! You made a level.

Congratulations and I'm so happy my level helped.

Here I go to try it......wish me luck.

Good luck Dizzy

I don't think so...it's in the correct forum, but maybe too many light years ahead of our time.

I'm going to keep trying, but gee whiz!

I was afraid yet it's a level from year zero

What means gee whiz?

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Sat May 17, 2008 10:34 pm

Year zero!

Gee Whiz means Gosh, or Golly, or Jeepers, it's a word of exclamation! Usually used as a form of Surprise!

I don't know where to start on this level, but don't tell me anything yet. Wait until someone actually solves it, ok.

Hint: My favorite levels are 14 x 14 and very player friendly.

Certainly not a kids level. I'm confused by it. Moved the boulder first hoping that would help but the second box landed where the boulder was. I can push boxes here and there but they seem to end up in the water where the other box already landed.

You might have to give us a nudge on this one Marinus.

Interesting level. Got the gold. Thanks for submitting it, Marinus!

I'll do if it's necessary but be patient

Edit: Anne thanks for playing my first level

Dank je wel voor het bier, Marinus.

Nice to see you start making levels.
I enjoyed this one and you must have put some thought in it to get all water tiles covered.
Needed a few tries until I found a way not to cover the button with a box.
Thanks for the fun

Got it on my second try, But! Me thinks I got lucky in finding the key to the level, Enjoyed my coffee while I waited.

I will say there is a bit of genius in this one, I can't even fathom designing something like this, My brain would sizzle to a crisp trying to put it all together.

Glad to see you making a level and I hope there will be more.
Thanks for the level and gold star, Carry on!

Bitte sehr Lutz

Kiki I think it's too much praise for me

Thank you both for playing and your nice comments

Yep yep I have to agree there's some mechanical genius stuff goin' on here Marinus.

I just flailed around until I found the way to move the key. Then the first time I wasn't able to get one coin UGH then the next two times the conveyors were stopped too soon. Finally the last time I collected and scooted before the conveyors were stopped again.

I have no idea what path I took to get the conveyors to do what was intended but it worked on the fourth try. Like Kiki, it makes my brain hurt just thinking about how to set something like this up.

Truly amazing! I sure hope you have more levels up yer sleeve

Thanks for this!

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Sun May 18, 2008 1:23 pm

Yup, I did the moving around reversing some of the keys but I'm no good at this kind of stuff. It is quite a level of a puzzle though.

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sun May 18, 2008 2:25 pm

Thank you Robyn and Monica for playing and replying. And Robyn, I think I never can create a level such as yours or Kiki's

Actually I think it's a bit too easy so I added a revised version (MARS1A) which is more the way I intended.

But for them who think it's too difficult I'll explain.

The original is quite easy. Follow the path the box has to go to the button, and the only thing you have to do is to set the 2 conveyors near the button in the opposite direction as the button is. At least, I tried it a few times with only the last two conveyors and it seem to work. But it was my intention to let you set all conveyors set in a specific direction. So I changed a little by making 4 buttons and now you have to set more conveyors in the opposite direction. Just set all conveyors in the opposite position of the buttons, roll the boulder, enjoy your coffee waiting until it's quiet. Piece of cake
(But I think only the last two near each button is enough)

Very nice, really interesting and fun!

I got my gold star but I must have made a wrong move with one of the stopped conveyors because after the fourth(?) box I had to tramp over and quickly adjust a moving conveyor, fortunately it worked.

Thanks for this, I'm looking forward to your next one.

Hey I got it. I was hulling strawberries and thinking about this level so I decided to take a break and come try it. I changed the two arrows up top there then Loof just stood and watched all the action. Nice puzzle Marinus. Very good for a first level. Thanks....

I managed to be a lazy person after all instead of just a less lazy person.

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sun May 18, 2008 2:56 pm

Thank you Bob!

I hope you didn't mind I used the wood texture.

Monica enjoy your strawberries. Of course you can use the waiting time to eat strawberries instead of drinking coffee.

I'm glad you are all looking forward for my next level, but please don't expect too much from me.

You may have noticed the filename is just ..1 instead of ..001

I was to intent on the puzzle, didn't notice.

WOW Marinus....I've just added you to my Genius list!!!

Before you posted the hint, I wasn't changing two arrows. Now I got it. This was really incredible to watch.

THANKS for the FUN!!!!

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sun May 18, 2008 4:45 pm

Thanks for playing and your comment Dizzy

Youcholdio youchai! I'm on your genius list.

Hey Marinus - I don't know how I missed this one (plus one)!

How great that you've joined the ranks of the level makers.

Lots of fun, and a very original idea.

I got the easy one on my second try, but it's taken me about 6 tries to get it right with the harder one.

More please Marinus!

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Fri May 23, 2008 10:25 pm

Wonderful to see you found the Editor Mari-Madonna

Two fine levels - very clever and a lot of planning needed

I wouldn't say that either were too easy actually - just right!

Hope you make another soon - thanks for the drink!

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sat May 24, 2008 7:55 am

Lillie and Liz, Thanks you for playing and posting!

Allthough I'm not quite satisfied about the level itself, I'm happy to read that you've enjoyed it.

And if I ever make another level? Who knows?

At the moment I've no idea. If I want to work with the editor I think it's no problem to learn that. But how to get some creative ideas?

Mark · Post by **Mark** » Fri Dec 26, 2008 12:48 am

Well I had me a that beer, and I must have deserved it after getting that contraption to work!

This was most remarkable, Marinus!

I don't believe the greatest mathematician in the world could invent a marvel such as this. Pure genius!

Mark · Post by **Mark** » Sun Apr 14, 2013 10:44 am

I'm bumping this level up in memory of Marinus.

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Sun Apr 14, 2013 11:37 am

That was amazing!

I am so sorry that I was not aware that Marinus could do such amazing things during his lifetime, so I could thank him.

Thanks, I couldn't even solve this complex level from 5 years ago.

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Mon Apr 15, 2013 11:11 pm

Thanks, I couldn't even solve this complex level from 5 years ago.

This level is not that complex to solve, if you just get the idea, but it must have been so extremely complex to write!
