I kinda thought the crossed-arms sprite made that obvious.

Ahaaa, solved it! That was fun.

OK, so what is the intended solution for Part 1? I used the unintended one because I've seen it used before and I'm frustratingly, hopelessly, stuck in Part 2, to the point of wanting to murder Mr. Zurkon.

The intended solution to Part 1 is to do the intended solution to Part 2.

Oh!

That is genius!

I know right? The second part was the hardest part for me.
Hint:

For the first part, if you trap yourself in a floing bubble on a Brr pad, the Brr pad won't disappear.
For the second part, cast the first floing bubble on the ice tile nearest to you. Then quickly create a Brr pad on the second water tile from you, and collect the Floing charge. Run and trap yourself in the first bubble. After it bursts, cast a second bubble and trap yourself in there too. Proceed to get blink. Blink onto the ice pad.

I found this adventure somewhat unfair though (not to me, of course, but still). Not everyone knows about the Ice Blink trick, and the other tricks used. But I liked how the floing ice trick works. Thanks for a great puzzle!

That's not a hint so much as it is the full solution.

I knew someone was gonna say that
Wait it was nobody.
Actually the first part was a hint, but I saw no way to give a hint for the second part. Sorry if I misled anyone, esp Wonderman.

Sorry about all the tricks/exploits/whatever that were required to beat this adventure. I'll try to avoid using this sort of thing in my future adventures. I'm glad you enjoyed this adventure though.

Wonderful adventure... it was quite tricky at start but then was easy. The use of quite awkward tricks and the exploits were fun. I never knew there were these many ways of making adventures... (I know only one way - the hub's adventures style)

Anyways, it has given me something to ponder about the WAE

Nah - I think as long as it's clear there is no "legit" solution, doing stuff like this is fine. It only gets mean when these exploits are used in a very complex puzzle and you don't even have a chance of figuring it out.

Brilliant!
This adventure was really fun and neat!
It's really clever!
(I also kinda had to read some of the first part's hints..)

I'm actually quite OK with using glitches like that. They're fun (to learn and execute), and I might use them too in my adventures!
Do continue using them!

What I'm saying is that I feel a level should have a notice if glitches are to be used (just like Muz's Unfair or Wonderman's Garden Problems), just in case a repeat of River Crossings (WA1, I used the quick Brr trick in my initial solution). Sorry for the ambiguity!

EDIT: In retrospect I think my OP was uncalled for. I realised that the whole challenge of this puzzle was to think out of the box, and this puzzle has made me do that. Even in "mainstream adventures", I realise it's acceptable to use glitches (I even exploited the Ice Blink trick in Icy Waters, POTZ, does that make me a hypocrite), although I'd prefer to use them only if the level says so.

The absolute last thing that I remember doing in the first WA is finishing "River Crossings" without the quick brr trick. It is an absolute nightmare of a level, but it is possible.

Ice Blink trick in Icy Waters

If you mean "blinking on ice does not collapse the brr pad" then I thought that was an intentional part of the design? I think we even discussed that in the beta forum.

Now, the "floing on ice" trick is a version I didn't know before.

Wow. That makes my Original Post even more irrelevant and extra. I must apologise, Kooky.

Um if I remember correctly the legit way I used to solve it was quite simple?

Nicely done. I consider any glitch "legit" as long as it doesn't require a save/load slot. (And I don't really think the MooBot thing you used was a glitch, actually.)

It would've been cool if you had used the ZapBot Laser Glitch in your level, though.

Wonderland King wrote:(And I don't really think the MooBot thing you used was a glitch, actually.)

Wait a minute. I thought for the Moobot

spoilers wrote:you just drown it by making it stop on a Brr pad? That's not a glitch. Unless you used a different solution?

That's exactly what I did. And also, I, sadly, have no qualms using glitches in official levels. I did a lot of minor stuff (pretty sure I used the Sliding Blink trick in "Icy Waters") and I'm ashamed to say that I was perfectly fine with DESTROYING the intended solution in MOFI's "Brr At The Shore" with the fast recovery trick.

I would've given up by now if it wasn't for samuelthx's hint on Section 1, but then I got the rest on my own pretty quickly. And I only realized after people started mentioning it that the music is Kaboom! Village's theme song.

Yeah, it was a nice little level. (But really, what was the point of all those Lurkers at the end?)

Wonderman109 wrote:(But really, what was the point of all those Lurkers at the end?)

To show that you can spring over them.

Wonderman109 wrote:(But really, what was the point of all those Lurkers at the end?)

Hey! Don't be racist towards the Lurkers!

I wasn't being racist, I was just saying...oh never mind.

And wait, why are YOU racist against crabs? They deserve to live, they make interesting companions, and they blend in with the environment so nicely.

I completely understand why you're upset, but if it makes you feel better, crabs can be killed with firetraps!
