New Level (Adv) - Do You Still Have The Knack?

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Mon Apr 24, 2006 11:31 am

There are a couple of hidden things (!) in nooks and crannies - hope you enjoy

I just made a slight adjustment - the Chickster found a little clever loophole

I still got it!!!!! Great level. This is one of those levels that if you put a lot of thought into how to complete it you can end up making it so much harder than it has to be which is what I did. Then I finally simplified things and made it home with the gold and avoiding the knack.

Thanks Lillie for this level:

it was not easy, but I finally got it.

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Mon Apr 24, 2006 3:17 pm

Chickster found a clever little way of missing out a part of the puzzle (quite a big part actually

). I've slightly amended it. Those of you who didn't need to do anything with the circling kabooms - you do now

Sorry - da da da da da Inspector Gadget

Hi Lillie!
I finished your revised version and it's a Dooooooooozie!!!!

And people say my levels are hard?

You are capable of leaving the rest of us in the dust!

Not sure if I have the knack, but you most certainly do!

Had the toughest time generating without getting nailed!

Used everything except that trampoline beside the Yellow TP.

You just keep getting better with each level!

So please don't stop!

Muchos Gracias!
Mark

Pretty little stinker

The box generator caused serious trouble until I decided to do something before different.

Clever challenge and great fun, thanks

I agree with Mark, You design some real humdingers, I haven't solved this stinker yet and no I'm not asking for a hint, " Knack Down Around The Be Bopping Off The Knick Knocking Knocker Clocker Bonkers Bouncing Lillie"

I still got it, took me several restarts to figure this stinker out but I enjoyed the

I did have to walk away for just a tad

to screw the

back on but I won out in the end

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Mon Apr 24, 2006 8:49 pm

I still have the knack Lillie. Absolutely brilliant level, Very intricate design, The start had me getting bouldered to death so many times,

Finally worked it out one step at a time, I think I'll knack knack you when I see you, Ya know! The last part

Thanks for the great fun.

Tough level to get through, Lillie! When I finally thought the end was in sight, I had no way to keep the pink gate open! Had to start all over again and try to figure out a different way to go! Finally got it when I figured out how to arrange things before I lost the knack!! Thanks for a great challenge!

I didn't have the knack all afternoon, but I came back to it tonight and the solution presented itself quickly. I guess I do have the knack.

Guess I just don't have the knack...I've spent far too much time on this one, and still getting nowhere fast. I'm stuck at the generator part, teeny tiny hint please??
Thanks

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Wed Apr 26, 2006 9:45 am

Hi Wonderfull. I am assuming that you have killed the kaboom in the doorway to the cannon area using two wooden boxes? First, push another box into water (red X) and the second into the water where you killed the kaboom (yellow X). The generator will then generate new wooden boxes, two for the water by the generator and one for the white button

Hope that helps

Not how I did it. But clever!

I did it your way Lillie (without the spoiler). Ace level to work out. I was in fits wondering if I should destroy the cannon or not, but it was OK.

The ending was

Enjoyed it loads hon! Thanks.

wonderfull · Post by **wonderfull** » Wed Apr 26, 2006 2:59 pm

Thanks Lillie; I had actually tried that way but couldn't see my way clearly to get the remaining box to the white button. But now the fog has cleared (the brain fog that is) and I found your little trick. I really thought I had tried everything!~ Thanks for the help.

I still have the knack, but not until after many, many restarts. I made alot of mistakes, but am glad to have worked it out.

Thanks for this great puzzle!

Truly loved that opening sequence, very clever! Quite enjoyed working this one out and I got the big clue this time!

Thanks Lillie,

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Fri Jan 12, 2007 11:04 pm

I did the boxes different also. But..........is Peeque supposed to snatch that coin away from the circling boomers or am I missing something? I found the knack knack btw. A bit of help please.

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Sat Jan 13, 2007 12:08 pm

Sorry Monica - I have guests here this weekend. I haven't the time to replay the level - but I do remember you can safely tramp into the kaboom area and nick that coin on the tramp and they don't kill you. You would think that you would get kaboombled - but you don't!

I should be around Monday afternoon if you need more help!

Hope that helps you in some way

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Sat Jan 13, 2007 3:13 pm

I knew about the 'leap of faith' through the tp. I decided to take another look this morning and I studied the tramps in the barrel part. I figured out what had to be done, the boomers had to go. Peeque got the chomp to do his bidding and he got that coin and went on his way home. I was sending 2 barrels through the tp instead of sending Peeque through 1st then a barrel for the button. I sure enjoy working out your levels, they make sure pause to think. Thank you Lille, have a good weekend.

I couldn't complete the last part, so I decided to go to the editor to work it out, because you have fake walls in this level.
I saw the hidden chomper and instantly found the solution.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 7:41 am

I didn't t need a chomper at all... I think I did in a totally different way.
PM is on the way, Lillie!

gr8places · Post by **gr8places** » Sat Jan 20, 2007 11:40 pm

I can't even get into the barrel room with the tramps.
Killing the kaboom in the first room takes 2 boxes leaving one box not 2 as shown in the screen shot.

Something just isn't going right for me and this one has me stumped!

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 5:21 am

1. If you kill him in the "doorway" only one box will be used.
2. I recommend you to leave him alive (just avoid him) and then walk down in the TP when everything is done, the kaboom will walk right into the circling kabooms sooner or later and as soon as it's done, all five commit suicide.

It just took me ages to work out the first room!

You have to get the wood box generator started! To do this you must squash the kaboom in the entrance to the pink button room (where the cannon was). I always sneak into the kaboom room and follow him around and then push the top box right to direct him into the gap and then use the second top box to squash him. Push the third box into the wate to the left of the gen. Three new ones will generate (see my spoiler above).

In the barrel room - in my solution you have to clear the righthand barrels out of the way (keep one in the top section to kill the circling kabooms, you can tramp over to retrieve it after) and lure out the chomper (there is a sign that tells you where the chomper is) and get him to blow the barrels on the left side so that you can tramp a barrel over to kill the kabooms.

Hope that helps

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 10:31 am

THAT's what the chomper was for?! Gosh, that's complicated!!!

Better make the five boomies commit suicide.

Then you don't need the chomper at all.

Oh my gosh what a "killer" ending! Thanks for a great level, Lillie!
