You know the bug where you end up walking through an item? well I used it to my advantage in this level *evil grin*

Very good Mark! I like this style of level you have been making.

Well, now that is cute.

POSSIBLE VAGUE SPOILER -- BUT ONLY IF YOU'RE THINKING BETTER THAN ME:

I've protected myself through the there and back trip, but I don't know to what end. I stood at the beginning with my hard-earned prize and wondered -- WHAT NOW?

Get the boxes on the right hand side of the first part of the level to the left, and get over the water to the switch. This will free Loof up.

If I can ever make that many trips back and forth without getting creamed that is -- AND IT'S A BIG IF, ZIP! But I do love the site of Stinky skating across the ice dodging those fireballs with the big grin on his face. This level really has me laughing. Maybe I'll get the timing down eventually and succeed at this one, but even if I don't, this is a WONDERFUL level!

WHEEEE! Finally got my timing down and got it! What a happy surprise at the end, too! (I was really scared for Stinky going into that.)

Do you mean when the UFO's go bang?

This was one of your best levels yet!

It took me a few goes at it til' I finally succeeded. HOORAY!

Well done Mark.

I have played about 100 of the custom levels, so far, haven't beaten them all but this one was ingenius! the best level I have played in these forums!

Congrats!

Yeah, that's what I mean. I was not looking forward to teleporting in to that mess, and was glad to find out I didn't have to!

Your cheque is in the post.

If I had one wish, it would be more items in the level editor! forget being a millionaire, I want more stuff to play with

This is a smart level BigZ; very clever use of the boulder on the ice.

But one thing does puzzle me; what did you intend with all the boulders and conveyors in the middle?

I only shifted 2 boulders to get to the blue switch. I know I have a tendency to do stuff differently, but I like to figure what the author intended too. Just wondering.

The intention was you had to destroy the box, but because of limitations in the items in the game, I couldnt find something that would be destroyed by a boulder, but not my a fireball, I hope some people noticed this and did it the way I intended.

I did guess that was the plan, but surely solving the puzzle by any (fair) method is allowed.

Not necessarily refering to this level in particular, (which I will repeat is a cracker, one of the very best so far), but would you guys not agree that there is always the possibilty that the author thought the puzzle a bit more complicated to solve that it really was.

Keep them coming BigZ.

I said previously I felt the best was yet to come from you; this level proves me right. I do feel your frustration limitationswise (?). Hopefully Patrick and the guys at Midnight Synergy will give you what you need to really fox us all in Wonderland 3.

I think he means that some people, may be able to solve your puzzle, in a way that you did not anticipate

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!

I've read all these posts, and it seems that everyone can get past the first part but me!!!!!!

BIGZIPZ · Post by **BIGZIPZ** » Tue Mar 30, 2004 1:11 am

why can't you get past it, what is holding you back?

Jersey · Post by **Jersey** » Tue Mar 30, 2004 1:34 am

Either I'm hopeless, or my graphic thingy in the computer isn't up to speed, but I can't seem to get past the UFO's to follow the first box.

I've only tried it about 10 times, so chances are I just need to keep trying, I tend to get frustrated really quickly.

BIGZIPZ · Post by **BIGZIPZ** » Tue Mar 30, 2004 2:05 am

its all about timing

- if you can't do a section you could edit it out in the level editor.

Spot on, JG; that is exactly what I meant.

Hi Jersey! As you can see from above posts, I had the same problem getting past the first part of this level. Just couldn't get Stinky's timing right at first. Eventually, with lots of practice, I got it and Stinky was able to skid safely across the ice every time, armed with his trusty boulder. Good thing, too, as I had to do this quite a few times to get past problems I ran into with the rest of the level. Keep trying -- the satisfaction of completing this one was huge!
