Loirae · Post by **Loirae** » Wed May 17, 2006 8:11 am

Copper and Snow all together in one little game. I hope you still enjoy. Feel free to ask for hints if you get a bit stuck.

Using JG's copper texture which is awesome, so if you don't have it, grab it.

Hi Lowray. For awhile I was completely mystified by the start of this masterpiece, I love the texture, One of my favourites, I think this is one of your best levels yet, brilliant all the way, Love the solution for the red timer. Thanks for the fine puzzler.

This is me when I started this one--

This is me when I finished--

Can't believe you did this in 10 minutes, Kiki

I'm at it for ages now. Picked up all the coins and am ready to exit. I already provided myself with a set of new boxes, but I don't see a way to put one of them onto the yellow button.

Help please

It took way longer than ten minutes Lutz. I tested it for Loirae and it took way longer than ten minutes. It was a stinker.

OK, the beginning is a stinker, I guess. Here's some hints to get you going. Later tonight (USA night

), I'll post more spoilery tips.

highlight if you're stuck in the trampoline/box area:

Take care of the bottom box first.
For the two side boxes: Right box, Left box, Right box.
(Remember things colliding on buttons tend to make buttons stay pushed.)

more to come if needed.

Thanks Loirae

I didn't think about the button thing.
So I made it lots more difficult the last hours.

Now I'm out with gold. Thanks for a clever and tricky level

Wow, Loirae your hint made all the difference! Like Lutz, I spent hours on this one trying to figure out how to cover the yellow button! Didn't even think of the box thing! Thanks for a brain teaser!

Good job, Lutz and Donna.

and, as promised, here is the outright spoiler for the first bit:

Go down and bounce the bottom box back up.
Then push that same box back to the tramp and let it fly over you into the water.
Next, tramp over the right box. Then push it one square right.
Next, tramp over the left box so it lands on the button.
Next push the right box to the tramp so it also lands on the button.
Generator started.
Collect bottom bonus coin.
Go around the top of the generator into the z-bot room.

For some reason I had no trouble with the first bit, after my first wipe-out. Loved the trampoline/box action there.

I was stumped for much longer with the second bit. This took me loads of tries until I worked out the uses of those z-bots. Very cleverly done Loirae!

Brilliant fun from start to finish. Thanks!

What a brilliant level Loiraeeeeeeeee - I just loved it! Got stuck at the start, the middle and the end

I was trying to do the impossible with the z-bots

I finally noticed that I could take some more coins, and that helped me with the red gate and the rest of the level! Ingenious route for the z-bots, and great misdirection for the red gate

Well done - this was an ACE puzzle girlie

This was very brilliant. It took forever to figure out the beginning, but I still could not get the yellow button. I did the whole rest of the level, but still no way to cover the yellow button. I had to use your help to figure it out.

Loved it! Thanks!

Thanks for the hint to get started, Loirae! Once through that part, the rest was a lot of trial and error. Finally discovered everything and was on my way. Thanks for loads of fun!

Without that hint and some serious searching in every nook and cranny I think I might still be working on this one!

Amazing stuff, thank-you Loirae!
