It's been about year since I posted a level, so I might be a bit rusty.
This one is for Bob who inspired me with his new Conveyor series.

Have Fun!

I'm also using Popo's Walled Garden texture.

It's great to see you back, Mark

Hi Mark!

So glad to see you back level making. I'm off to try this one now.

See you in a few months I guess

Actually, this level was posted only several months before. I still can't figure that one out. Well, I'm going to play now!

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Tue Feb 19, 2013 2:22 pm

Yay, I made it!!!

Mark is Mark - and this is a typical Mark!

Thanks!!!

LCD - I could only solve the last one when Mark helped me with the cannon puzzle. That was the key to that level.

Mark - needless to say this is a total enigma. The main problem is of course those flames by the black TPs. I just don't see how to send anything up there. So far I have managed to cover the white button and put something in the water below the ice slide/tramp combo, but I'm sure that's not right.

Still thinking ...

Hey Mark,

I think I may be missing a trick with a barrel and the black TPs. Am I going in the right direction? I'm thinking that I need to

use the barrel going back and forth to be able to head the prism up to one of the flames.

Is that correct?

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Tue Feb 19, 2013 5:48 pm

Anne, No, don't worry about the flames.

Great level Mark!

History is a good teacher and having played a lot of levels is helpful sometimes, especially when it comes to remembering some of the many unusual things that can happen...even when you're sure they shouldn't.

Still this took a good while to work out and I enjoyed it all the way.

Thanks

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Tue Feb 19, 2013 6:55 pm

Thanks, Bob. Will you please remind me about the trick?

Mark · Post by **Mark** » Tue Feb 19, 2013 7:28 pm

Thank you everyone for your comments!

Sorry L'Carpetron Dookmarriot 3 that I never posted a solution for "All Summer In A Day".
It's been so long, that I don't remember.

Liz has a much better memory. Thanks Liz!

I'm not sure if there is more than one way to solve this one.

My tester, Marinus has been missing for many months now.

The "banking move" I created for "Genesis" was the inspiration for this outing.
When I saw it still being used in Bob's excellent "Conveyor Boy" I invented a variation for it.

Anne, you are on the right track about the combo jump.
Don't worry about putting out those flames.

I am positive that there is no other way!

As usual, it's a very hard level for me. Can't figure it.

L'Carpetron Dookmarriot 3 · Post by **L'Carpetron Dookmarriot 3** » Tue Feb 19, 2013 10:28 pm

Ohhh dear. I've tried it, haven't gotten very far yet though. I'll get it............eventually.

Hi Mark

It was great to play a new level from you.

I only could make it reading Bob's hint about unusual things that can happen... Thanks for the fine challenge.

I hope you're fine. Please send a few rays of the Californian sun to our bitter cold Switzerland.

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 3:55 am

This was fun to figure out, Mark. Thanks for your help, Bob. I haven't figured out how to not get shot by the cannon, but I will - eventually

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 9:52 am

The above help re Bob's Conveyor Boy level doesn't help me at all.
Obviously I didn't solve that level the way it was meant to be solved because I never made any ice jumps at all.

Back to Nefarious: Now I know something is supposed to be sliding back and forth on the ice I have no idea how. If I try to use a barrel it blows up the prism. If I try to use a prism the same thing happens.

I'm out today so I have no more time to try.

Later ...

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 11:56 am

If I try to use a barrel it blows up the prism. If I try to use a prism the same thing happens.

True: Can you think of another blocker other than the prism or barrel?

Hi Liz,

The reference for "Conveyor Boy" is regarding a combo-jump off a moving object.
The moving object in "Nefarious" doesn't use a conveyor or ice, which is the reason I designed it.

The ice on the left side is to get the barrel where it needs to go.
Some flying is necessary for the barrel.

TP or not TP, that is the question...

There is just one object here that can bank the barrel without destruction.
Only time will tell.

Thank you for the video image of my level, Andy!

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 2:50 pm

Back, again. Thought I had it all figured out and just needed to stop getting shot by the cannon. Wrong.

With a bit more help from Mark, I went through the very scary exit.

L'Carpetron Dookmarriot 3 · Post by **L'Carpetron Dookmarriot 3** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 2:57 pm

AH!

That secret wall is the trick to everything. Maybe I'll get a bit further now.

L'Carpetron Dookmarriot 3 · Post by **L'Carpetron Dookmarriot 3** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 10:13 pm

Ok, so now I know how to move stuff off the trampolines, but the barrel or prism always seems to be stuck on the black TPs. What do you do after this?

Help please.

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 11:57 pm

So...it's not ok to have a barrel stuck in the black TPs??

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 12:07 am

but the barrel or prism always seems to be stuck on the black TPs. What do you do after this?

After this, Place a barrel below the trampoline so you can jump up 2, then down 3. There is something else to do before jumping, but I'll let you find it out youself.

Yay! Progress! I managed to get to the cannon room, but after I kill the z-bots and the shadow stinker I just don't see what to do. I hope I did everything right. If I destroy the box, the cannon will always kill me before I have a chance to get the coins. I don't see any other way to complete it though. I hate to ask for more help, but I'm trying to beat this one.

The cannon will not kill you if the gun-powder is wet

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 8:54 am

Made it at last!

Bob helped me out with the opening move which I was always getting wrong, and that move is crucial. And he confirmed that a few of my previous moves were right.

After that, many, many tries later I finally reached home. The z-bot area caused me lots of retries

Mark - thanks so much for another pushing, jumping, sliding, enigma.

doodlebug · Post by **doodlebug** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 8:03 pm

Could I have the opening moves please. I know what needs to be done for it all but do not know how start to get it done.

Thanks

Annie

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 8:53 pm

Opening moves:
Down into secret wall, right, up over trampoline, push barrel left (bonus coin) push barrel down over ice then right 3 places, come around and push it up, then left onto ice and trampolines and QUICKLY push prism right.
Then replace timer with prism, then bring remaining barrel all the way down next to button and gate, then jump...

doodlebug · Post by **doodlebug** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 10:09 pm

I spoke too soon I thought when I jumped I could get past the fire and use the box for the buttons but that did not work for me I still need to know how to get to the blue button and cover it. I know how to do the yellow dude part once I get my blue button covered.

Thanks

Annie
