It started with Lillie and ended with me.

Now it's up to you.

Great level, amazing new concepts I've not seen before.

Well done - again, Mark at his best!

Thank you, Amnon. I do appreciate your comment!

I was beginning to wonder if everyone has stopped playing.

It's discouraging to invest so much time without any feedback.

This one is a personal favorite of mine.
It would make the perfect swan song.
The only thing I don't like is the title.
It really, really stinks!

Maybe I should change the title to "Swan Song"

Hi Mark

Of course I start playing your levels as soon as I discover them. But most of them are really challenging, so I often can't give a feedback for several days. Never fear, I always hang on it, and sooner or later (probably later in this case...

) you'll get my reply.

No doubt that it will be enthusiastic...

Hi Chip,

I consider asking for help a form of feedback.
My concern is that players have become more reliant
on video solutions, instead of asking for help or hints.

I realize that my creations can often be abstract.
So here's a set of clues for you, or anyone else.
And feel free to post or message me for more.

FIVE CLUES:

1) Never take what appears to be the obvious path.
2) Green teleports can do more than provide travel.
3) The light blue button requires a square item.
4) The dark blue button does not require a square item.
5) Only ONE object will go up in flames.

I'm off to play. Is Lillie back?

I just read your hints and I must be doing this entirely wrong. The only object I can see that could go up in flames is holding the red gate open.

Back to the drawing board.

Hi Anne,

No, unfortunately Lillie is not back, but her wonderful legacy still lives on.
I was replaying through her "Dangy Doo" series and borrowed the opening from the third one.
If you look at "Dangy Doo Dum!" you'll see the same 3 boxes, 2 buttons and 2 TP's at the top.
Everything else I reconstructed and are a product of my mental ravings.

Hi Bob,

The object that goes up in flames should be brown.

It turns out I was on the right track and after many, many restarts to move things where I needed them I managed to exit our heroes with a shiny gold star.

Quite a workout, thanks Mark.

I'm working on this one Mark.

After reading your clues I realised I was doing it completely wrong, except for a brown object going up in flames - and for all I know it's the wrong object.

I also have a yellow object exploding, and that's probably not supposed to happen, but it does allow other things to happen.

Well, as usual I'm confused, but I'm sure all will be revealed in due course!

Hi Liz,

Just the brown object should go up in flames.

Video Solution

Hi Mark
I almost made my way through this masterpiece. I can get all coins and open the exit gate, but I can't exit with both heroes. There must be a last secret that eludes me. Can you give me another little nudge? I don't want to watch the solution when I'm so close.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Chip,
Try exiting just one hero, and watch what happens...

Chip · Post by **Chip** » Wed Feb 11, 2015 3:03 am

Hi Mark
Oh, no! It was so obvious, but I didn't notice it.

Although it's clearly visible in the beginning I never noticed that last little surprise under the exit.

Considering your hint my friendly yellow helper changed into a multifunctional friendly yellow helper.

And everything came together...

I totally agree with Amnon: What an inventive level!
Thanks for this masterpiece and for your help, my friend.

This is a totally amazing level Mark!
So original and inventive.

I'd never have got it without the video.

Thanks for another masterpiece
