New Level - Crisscross *

[Mark]

Bob and I were both inspired by Kiki's "Cross Over".
This is my spin on it with a bit more bouncing...

Have Fun!

This does resemble Cross Over but there's a big difference, I can solve Cross Over, I'm not getting very far with this one. It seems that lately I'm only batting .500 when it comes to your levels. Maybe its aging.

I haven't given up entirely but tell me this, is there a glitch somewhere?

Hi Bob,

This level is a revised version of Kiki's "Cross Over".
My solution is different except for a few of the jumps.
There are no glitches. Everything is fair and logical.

I didn't realize it until just now, but you can solve
Kiki's "Cross Over"with a variation of my solution.
But on his level, you'll have three boxes left over.

Where are you stuck?

Where are you stuck?.

Where am I stuck!?

Where do I begin. I can cover all the buttons but then I can't get to the upper left. I don't know what to do with the keg, I have the sphere on the green button. I can set up a block for my long jump but then I don't have the items I need to eliminate the lower left flame. And what about the shadow, do I kill him, do I leave him?

There, that's where I'm stuck.

Hi Bob,

Here's some help:

The keg is used in two different locations at different times.
The sphere does not go on the green button. It just looks that way.
The Shadow must die. The space he occupies is very important.

Mother of pearl was this ever a lot of work!

I found the right place for the sphere but I was making a mistake right at the start that kept me from leaving the top left area. I always forget to check which gates need to be open and for how long.

Thanks for the challenge and the nudge.

Just a short note to let you know Mark that I am still working on this:

It may take me another week, or a month or a year, but eventually I shall crack this one.

Sorry Amnon,

I promise to make my next Holiday level, an easy one.

Well it didn't take another week - only a few more hours on top of a few days earlier. Now Loof reports he is ready for his next mission.

Thanks for this humdinger, Mark!

Here's the step-by-step solution:

While the conveyor is stopped,
Push box 1 D and push prism 1 L then R onto the blue button (with coin).
Cross the break-tile D and move box 1 R.

Just before ghost passes between the cubes,
Jump U - D - L - L (pushing box 1 L).

Take break-tile bridge on the east side 2 tiles up.
Tramp cube L to destroy Shadow Peegue.
Step down on travelator and go R - U onto break-tile.
Step down on travelator and go D - U - L onto island.
Roll sphere (inside keg) R - D into the water.
Move keg L - U onto green button.
Take travelator D - U - R and step D on the TP.
Jump L and move wood-box 1 U.

Just before ghost passes between cubes,
Jump U - D - L - D onto break-tile.
Move cube U 1 and steel box 2 L - 3 U - 3 L.
Move wood-box 1 L - 1 U - 1 L.
Move cube 3 L.
Just before ghost passes between cubes,
Jump U - D - U - R onto the TP.
Use the break-tile to move keg 3 D.
Take travelator L and move keg 1 R.
Take tavelator D - U - R and move keg 1 U.
Move keg D into TP and follow.

Take new travelator R - L - U moving box 1 U.
Take travelator D - U - R and push wood-box L onto travelator to west side.

Just before ghost passes between cubes,
Jump U - D - L - L - U - L to the white button (moving R to escape the chomper).

Push wood-box down into water and travelate to the east side.
Push L box U into the water.
Wait for the keg to destroy the ghost.
Jump U - D - L - L to push box 1 L & 1 U into the water (making a bridge).

Jump U - D - U - D for hidden coin in the wall.
Push cube 1 U and 2 L onto the travelator.
Push cube 2 D into the flame.
Take travelator R - D - L - D.
Take coin on the aqua button and push cube 2 U.
Step R into TP.
Come back and and push cube D on the aqua button.

Cross break-tile bridge U and jump L.
Step on moving conveyor and push the box U.
Push lower box D into the water.
Push L box U.
Slide U on the ice and tramp top box D.
Slide U on the ice and push L box in the water(forming a bridge).
Slide U on the ice and jump D.
Jump U and push the box on the conveyor button with the flame.
Jump D and R on the blue button for the last coin.
Jump U on the ice to exit.

Hi Mark
Loof needed a long time (and a little help from you) to cross this level, but he finally made it.
Thanks for this great challenge and the hints.

[Liz Mayhew]

Oh boy! Mark you've excelled yourself with this one.
What a complex level.
I struggled with it, jumping all over the place, but not getting anywhere.

Thanks for that walkthrough - I needed every bit of it.

I think this is one of the most challenging levels I've seen.

[sassy]

Wow finally got it, that was fun! so glad when the ghost got killed! LOL the first time I went and took the coin on the blue button and well that got me stuck in the end! I won't be so greedy next time hehehehe Thanks for a great and creative level!!
