New Level -- Rise to the Occasion

Post by Muzozavr »

Came up with the central idea (that everything else caters to) one night, right before going to sleep... had to quickly sketch it out on paper just to be able to zzzzzz.

Some actual design work later + some testing (and a few "I can't get this alternate solution to work, but I know how to provably remove it even if it exists" changes) = a new level. Have fun, and beware... this might be a wee bit tricky. :wink:

This was the most amazing level - thanks a lot and so nice to see you here again!

Took me over a day to solve - the central idea was not difficult to find, but having it all together in that tight space was.

Thanks again!!!!!!!

Amnon, I haven't seen you comment on Double Bind (a different level I made semi-recently), so maybe you've missed the two versions of it:

viewtopic.php?t=28733
viewtopic.php?t=28734

As for this level, let's just say that in the initial designs the bridge tile was just a coin and there was a bit more space up top near the spheres... which, indeed, made things easier to shuffle. I was pretty happy when I tried with the bridge tile, and even more happy when I realized it could be 1-step. :wink: So yes, there was a bit of layout tightening in the process.

Yes, I was so far not able to solve either of the Double Bind levels, so they are still in my "too hard" basket - one day I will solve them...

Hi Muzozavr; I loved this one. It was a little scary at first :oops: but I passed with flying colours :)

In fact, I actually found a way to solve this without the break tile at all. I'll let you figure it out on your own, but I'll provide a hint below if you'd like. ;)

Beautiful level. Hope to have a solution up soon enough. :mrgreen:

Amazing, Jutomi!

Once you pointed at this possibility I found the way to do it too (without the hint).

How about rewarding finding the way to do it without the break-tile, while preserving all the conundrums around that tile?

For example:

Ack, I wish I figured that additional bit during design, especially because I'm technically already using something similar for another bit in the level... yeah, that would've been a clever addition, indeed. Great job, Jutomi.

(Amnon, this does work, but the fake walls may be a bit much. :lol: I do like it being a proper reason to have a bonus coin, though. Nice touch.)
