New Level - Slow Boat To China

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Sat Feb 18, 2006 8:25 pm

I hope I haven't missed something very obvious here

and that there is only one way to solve this - but I have been known to be very wrong in the past

Enjoy

Can't get my gold star

. Neat looking level, Lillie! I have used the trampolines to move around the level and collect the coins and have exited with all the bonus coins except the 2 through the pink tp because I can not get out through the gates. Is it just a matter of really fast fingers to get the boulder rolling and the metal box in place to keep it going? Or am I just stuck in a mindset and can't see the obvious solution?!!

I'm with Donna on this. I have tried and tried to get the metal box in place so the boulder rolls but can't do it

I am afraid that you are - fast fingers needed - but not in the way you are thinking

Too early for hints yet - sorry

Ooooo, you are so clever, Lillie! Started over from square one and after a lot of trying this and trying that, I finally figured it out! I knew my fingers could never be as fast as I was trying to make them! Cool level!

Lillieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! do you hear me cursing your name?

I have tried everything I know to do. I've pushed, pulled, swapped, been cornered and rolled over. If I put it here, I have to go from there. If I put it there, I have to go from here. If I put it there and then go there and put that other here, I still can't get over there before the there gets back here. I even used my warm fingers for this one.

I've already moved on to the rest of the puzzle. and have it all figured out. Now, if only I could get the beginning sorted.

Lillie you little stinker. I'm happy to say that I finished both versions and what a couple of humdingers, That had to be one of the most brilliant jump puzzles I've seen, Had me stumped for a bit, Finally saw the way, Ace levels,

Cheers Mate.

PS--I had me a barrel left over.

Hi Lillie,

Well - I am sure you would wish for me to comment on this level

At first I thought you had made a boo-boo

HOWEVER - an excellent puzzle, without doubt

I admit it took me some time this morning to get my thoughts as to how to do 'you know what'

Thanks and enjoy the match this afternoon.

I'm happy to say that I finally reached China. But I had to take the long way round. Ace jumping fun. Thanks

I think I need some hints please, am stuck with the boulder, all the other are in place, but...

"Slow Boat" is right!!!

It took me all day to get to China!
Must confess, this is the longest I've spend on one of your levels.

I didn't have any barrels left over, and I'm kind of wondering if I
solved it correctly, since my solution seemed rather far-fetched.

So you can perform magic too!

Excellent Misdirection!
Thank you for another Tricky Trip!!!

I finally got this one and I owe my success to visiting the Lost Coast. If I hadn't stumbeld upon keek's treasure map, I would've never gotten that boulder rolling!

thanks to kiki for inadvertantly helping, and thanks to Lillieeeeeeeeee for a brain teaser that kept me swearing for days!

I can't tell you how thrilled I am to have stumped you on a level - made my day!

As to the match - a win would have been the best result - not a draw

I enjoyed the beers with the lads anyway

For anyone struggling with this one - it is impossible to get the boulder rolling over the timer switches in the first section. You have to get the boulder in position and work out a jumping sequence via the tramps to get the boulder rolling (need to step out of the way pretty quickly too - secret is to have the up arrow pressed in mid air for when you land

) If you need more help - please ask

Oh Lillie, you are so clever!!! Off course, I missed a landingspace, but now I`m well of to china!

Thanks hon, for another challenge

I had to put this one on ice for awhile. When I came back to it, I realized there had to be another way to get the boulder going. I didn't cheat, honest! Very clever beginning, and the barrels, too.

Thanks for the fun!

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 7:36 pm

This was certainly tricky and if I hadn't played one of Kiki's levels I wouldn't have figured out the key to the boulder!

Moving on to more of your levels right now!

Thanks,

I agree with Bob, TRICKY! I tried this one days ago and got no where. Came back today and finally made it through. It took a little adjusting here and there. Thanks for loads of fun, Lillie!

Wow I'm so glad Mark brought this one up in the Midnight Post!

This was great fun Sassypants! That box/box/boulder/bounce thang had me going for dozens of tries.

So glad ya didn't use this again!

Mark · Post by **Mark** » Fri Apr 04, 2008 12:04 am

Thanks for bringing this one back up, Robyn!

Even after two years, I still remember this beauty!

Of course my name has changed since then.

I need help with the jump sequence. I know how to do all the rest but I cant figure out the jump to land in the right spot to get the ball rolling. I would really like to finish this one. Thanks Annie

Thanks to Rescue fire for the help. I had the jump correct all along I just figured when you told me how to jump that I had the ball in the wrong position. I never considered moving the ball. It was so easy after that.

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 1:37 pm

Gosh - I tried to do this one and couldn't manage it!

Hey Mr Mark - any chance you could help out please - seeing as though you "recommended" it ya stinker!

Thanks and I apologise for not being able to solve one of my own levels

Hey Robyn - thanks for bringing this one back. I never could do it way back then.

Today I managed to do the whole first boulder thing and got the timers going. That's a first.

Then I was completely stumped about how to start the barrel generator

Sad to say, I had to cheat and look in the editor. All became clear, and I got away with the gold.
You are so sneaky Lillie. This is an ace puzzle.
