I'm sorry if the title has been used before but I couldn't think of anything else.

Using Robyn's texture, 'Greystone'. Thanks!

Finally made it past the yellow gate area

not to say the first part was easy cuz it was a right good challenge

Very gratifying to solve, Thanks for the level bud!

PS - I have never seen that title used before.

Phew, this was hard, hard indeed, especially the yellow-button area - took away many hours of my life.... thanks!

Hmmmm, I suppose that yellow button/gate combo can be a bit tricky so here's a little help for those who want it:

one zbot will be trapped for a moment on the yellow button, that gives you just enough time to grab the coin if you lean against the fence just prior to the zbot getting on the button

Hope that helps.

No Bob, I tried that approach, several times, but was always crushed in the gate. Finally had to do something different.

I was able to do it Bob's way but it took some tries.

I leaned on the gate as Bob said collected the coin then went left.
That was all I was fast enough for.

Then how did you guys do it?

Anyway here's a revised version that solves the problem.

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 5:46 pm

I did it as you described above I leaned on the gate got the coin and left the gate going left.
That is all that worked for me.

Sorry Keeks I mis-read your initial comment. I thought you meant you went back and tried it my way.

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 10:06 pm

Then how did you guys do it?

First push a yellow sphere in and make it go down onto the green button using another yellow sphere, then push a barrel inside without following it, come from the bottom and push it onto the yellow button.

Whew! This was a really fun level! It took me forever to figure out the barrels. Thanks, Bob!

[Edit] Just looked at everyone's comments. I did it the leaning part, too; and it worked every time once I saw that the two botties could work together. Great thinking, Bob!

Amnon, just watch when one bot is about to get trapped for a moment and lean against the gate. It's much easier.

Ok Bob, this is lots of fun, but I'm having a problem at this point:

I have the boulder rolling back & forth over the white timer. I have one barrel left on the blue button. Haven't taken the coin by the gray TP yet. So I go up to the yellow sphere area. Push it down over the tramp. It blows up, yellow spheres start coming out, but it also makes another barrel come out down below, which destroys the boulder going over the white timer.

So what did I do wrong?

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 5:12 am

Nothing.

Jump over and destroy the two kegs on the stop buttons.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Tue Nov 18, 2008 1:48 pm

Got it!!!

But now I am at the exit gate and have one tiny flame blocking my way!!?!!

EDIT: WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Nevermind, I found it! Sly dog alert, Sly dog alert!!!

Excellent level Bob. Thanks for the fun!

Great level! But of course I was doing it totally wrong

At least the beginning. I had no idea how to do with the barrels, actually I pushed the first barrel to the wrong direction, so I was running forth and back between the white timer and the gates

After all I read I was supposed to have the boulder going over the white timer.

So then I did it the right way

The yellow button I had no problems with; just leaning at the gate. But after reading this I played Amnon way too. Also a nice solution. Thanks for lots of fun!

Hi there, yes, it's me.

I just don't know what to do here. I know the first keg goes left into the water, then I've been pushing the right keg up and destroying it then pushing the one on the left left into the water hole. I'm doing other stuff but nothings getting me anywhere. Can I get a partial walk-thru?
Please.

Probably the same mistake I made first. If you push it right you can fill all the waterholes/breaktiles between the 2 conveyors with kegs, and then let the boulder roll forth and back to keep the white gate open

I stood there and looked and looked and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to push that barrell to the right....aw jeez louise, just give me good swift kick in the butt. I blew my stinker up so many times. The yellow spheres were easier even though I came up short one every once in awhile.

Got to the end and was wondering about that last flame but I found a way and Stinky snuffed it out after he exited. Thanks for the tip Marinus and thanks for the fun challenge here Bob.

Edit: Finally got the original a bit ago. Getting the coin from the yellow gate was easy. I did manage to hit both botties with the sphere but it blew up the sphere also. But finally got it over the wall only killing one and onto the other button where it was supposed to go. Thanks Bob.
