New Level-Theo Got Lucky and Found The Mark

This one is for (If you haven't guessed) Theo, Lucky Luc and Mark, I hope its worthy. These three Sirs put out some stinker levels and have given us hours of hair pulling fun.

Not only is Theo Lucky, but we all are to have such amazing puzzle makers. Those three (and others) have my brain in knots all the time. Love it! And this tribute to them was great. Love your poetry.

Kiki!
I really appreciate the thought that went into this!

Theo and Lucas will be honored as well!

What an ace puzzler!
Not quite sure if I did the end correctly since I didn't destroy the UFO.
I just managed to dodge it very carefully.
Was that your intention?

Thank you so much!

Yes it was just a fast finger dodge the UFO or die moment at the end. Sounds like you did it right.

Hi Kiki,

I solved it again, and found a way of taking out that UFO!
Enoyed it better this time!
UFO's are very scary!

Edited due to inaccuracies. Was commenting on the wrong level. Kiki.

Mark it sounds like you found the magic barrel, Or should I say the UFO found it, The last thing it ever

found.

Wow! I'm proud that such a great level was dedicated to me!

Don't really understand why the boulder got destroyed, but it did, and that's most important! In the beginning, I was scared of these chompers - until I found out that they're locked in! This dodging-the-lower-chomper-while-luring-him-onto-the-button-part was a real stinker!!!

For me, not the UFO found the magic barrel, but the chomper...

And then, when I thought I've solved this stinker, I got shot

. But I could manage it the next time...

Thanks for a great level and for dedicating it to me (and Mark and Theo!!!

PS: Didn't even notice me in the title in the beginning. But I found it out quite soon

Whle doing this nice little level, I wondered whether the end-of-days has arrived, as stated in Isaiah: "and the wolf shalt dwell with the lamb" - what stopped those chompers from attacking Stinky? then I found that even more strangely, when a boulder passes over, the land is no longer that sacred, so the chompers are now happy to cross it.

Finally, the level-editor revealed the secret: Rainbow Spirits!

But how come those spirits were not in motion?
the official manual just says that they are a "mystery"!

does anyone know more about the mysterious qualities of rainbow spirits?

Amnon, those are actually the UFO Motherships that are holding the Chompers back.
They act as an invisible barrier to creatures and objects... unless they are destroyed.

As usual I can't do it!

I should have guessed with a level dedicated to 3 of our most fiendishly talented level makers.

If I get most buttons covered, I can't get a chomper to follow me for the aqua button.

The UFO seems to self-destruct after I grab the coin. Then I get destroyed by the spawn of the motherships.

If I destroy the motherships first, then I don't have boulders for the rest of the buttons (except chompers for the aqua button).

It seems to be a Catch 22 situation, and I can't see the way out. Any hints would be welcome!

Wow, thanks Kiki!

This level was VERY complicated, but I figured it out step by step.
The hardest part was keeping one of the chompers alive, they kept running under boulders and suiciding in other ways

One of your levels I can do!

Oh yes! Truly an inspired work, lots happening in a small space and everything has to be just so, including some freelance running moves to avoid a certain chomper!

I really enjoyed this Keeks and an excellent tribute to some fine level-makers! It did take many restarts as I worked through it, but that was all part of the fun!

Big thanks buddy!

What a great tribute!!!! I have been having the hardest time on your levels lately so I am surprise I was actually able to complete this one. It was very tricky and fast fingers are required and I think I just got Lucky!!!! I would have to say though KiKi that I think you are right up there with Theo, Luckyluc and Mark, so my hat is off to you too.

A wee hint--

Spoiler---Once you collect the coin above the Motherships and roll the boulder up into the barrel hidden in the wall,
Step through the lower right TP, When you emerge from the TP get up in one of the safe spots to avoid the on coming freshly generated boulder, so you and that one Chomp don't get killed,
Once the two generated boulders cover their buttons, Go back through the TP and the chomp should cover the aqua button in his mad attempt to get to you.
As far as the UFO, I always get that coin right before I exit and just fast finger my way right past him, and it bye bye time with gold star waiting.

That was a most intriquing level. I worked through it bit by bit, but couldn't understand the why's of it, until I read your hint. Had the most trouble with the chompers until I realized I didn't have to outrun one like I was. Got past the UFO on my second try and ran like the wind to the finish.

Tricky level Kiki! So many weird things going on in this level that it took many tries to make my way through and collect all the coins! Finally figured it out through various mistakes and lucky moves! After I grabbed the last coin, I ran back to avoid the ufo. Fortunately he found another hidden surprise and then I was home free! Awesome trickster level worthy of dedication to the three trickster Luc, Mark and Theo!

Another level I am posting late on

and no spolier needed and I didn't even peak in the editor this time

Just needed luck and perseverity

but I was able to trap one chomp and take out the enemy and make my way to gold. Thanks for the fun.

Great tribute for these guys.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 6:12 am

Thanks so much for posting the spoiler Kiki - I'd never have managed without it.

My PC was freed up from exam revision sessions, so at last I was able to play.

You definitely needed fast fingers at the end of this very clever little gem. Brilliant stuff as ever Kiki. Thanks.

Finally got this one Keeks

A great tribute level for "The Glitchy Boys"

I really enjoyed it! Had many scary mary moments with the chomp on the dark blue button. I couldn't get past the UFO so I left the bonus coin till the end and the UFO got deaded and then I had another scary mary moment outrunning the last chomp

Great fun - thanks Bud

This was a great level, and a fabulous tribute to those three guys.

I must confess, I have to use Alt-X with many of your levels. I just couldn't do it, otherwise!

And, it certainly came in handy here. I ended up using the one barrel to take out the UFO, and just dodging the red chomper to collect that bonus coin. It was much easier that way!

Thanks for the fun!
