New level - Have a drink

Just an easy level for the fun.

(For lazy people like me

) Maybe it should be in the kids levels part but kids shouldn't drink that much.
Thanks to an idea from Dizzy's morning level. Thank you dear.
Edit: I think the level was a bit too easy so I added a revised version.

Yippee! You made a level.

Congratulations and I'm so happy my level helped.
Here I go to try it......wish me luck.

I don't think so...it's in the correct forum, but maybe too many light years ahead of our time.

I'm going to keep trying, but gee whiz!

I was afraid yet it's a level from year zero
What means gee whiz?

Year zero!
Gee Whiz means Gosh, or Golly, or Jeepers, it's a word of exclamation! Usually used as a form of
Surprise!
I don't know where to start on this level, but don't tell me anything yet. Wait until someone actually solves it, ok.
Hint:
My favorite levels are 14 x 14 and very player friendly.

Certainly not a kids level. I'm confused by it. Moved the boulder first hoping that would help but the second box landed where the boulder was. I can push boxes here and there but they seem to end up in the water where the other box already landed.
You might have to give us a nudge on this one Marinus.

I'll do if it's necessary but be patient
Edit: Anne thanks for playing my first level

Dank je wel voor het bier, Marinus.
Nice to see you start making levels.
I enjoyed this one and you must have put some thought in it to get all water tiles covered.
Needed a few tries until I found a way not to cover the button with a box.
Thanks for the fun

Bitte sehr Lutz
Kiki I think it's too much praise for me
Thank you both for playing and your nice comments

Yep yep I have to agree there's some mechanical genius stuff goin' on here Marinus.
I just flailed around until I found the way to move the key. Then the first time I wasn't able to get one coin UGH then the next two times the conveyors were stopped too soon. Finally the last time I collected and scooted before the conveyors were stopped again.
I have no idea what path I took to get the conveyors to do what was intended but it worked on the fourth try. Like Kiki, it makes my brain hurt just thinking about how to set something like this up.
Truly amazing! I sure hope you have more levels up yer sleeve

Thanks for this!

Yup, I did the moving around reversing some of the keys but I'm no good at this kind of stuff. It is quite a level of a puzzle though.

Thank you Robyn and Monica for playing and replying. And Robyn, I think I never can create a level such as yours or Kiki's
Actually I think it's a bit too easy so I added a revised version (MARS1A) which is more the way I intended.
But for them who think it's too difficult I'll explain.
The original is quite easy. Follow the path the box has to go to the button, and the only thing you have to do is to set the 2 conveyors near the button in the opposite direction as the button is. At least, I tried it a few times with only the last two conveyors and it seem to work. But it was my intention to let you set all conveyors set in a specific direction. So I changed a little by making 4 buttons and now you have to set more conveyors in the opposite direction. Just set all conveyors in the opposite position of the buttons, roll the boulder, enjoy your coffee waiting until it's quiet. Piece of cake
(But I think only the last two near each button is enough)

Very nice, really interesting and fun!
I got my gold star but I must have made a wrong move with one of the stopped conveyors because after the fourth(?) box I had to tramp over and quickly adjust a moving conveyor, fortunately it worked.
Thanks for this, I'm looking forward to your next one.

Hey I got it. I was hulling strawberries and thinking about this level so I decided to take a break and come try it. I changed the two arrows up top there then Loof just stood and watched all the action. Nice puzzle Marinus. Very good for a first level. Thanks....

I managed to be a lazy person after all instead of just a less lazy person.

Thank you Bob!

I hope you didn't mind I used the wood texture.
Monica enjoy your strawberries. Of course you can use the waiting time to eat strawberries instead of drinking coffee.
I'm glad you are all looking forward for my next level, but please don't expect too much from me.

You may have noticed the filename is just ..1 instead of ..001

I was to intent on the puzzle, didn't notice.

WOW Marinus....I've just added you to my Genius list!!!
Before you posted the hint, I wasn't changing two arrows. Now I got it. This was really incredible to watch.
THANKS for the FUN!!!!

Hey Marinus - I don't know how I missed this one (plus one)!
How great that you've joined the ranks of the level makers.
Lots of fun, and a very original idea.
I got the easy one on my second try, but it's taken me about 6 tries to get it right with the harder one.
More please Marinus!

Wonderful to see you found the Editor Mari-Madonna
Two fine levels - very clever and a lot of planning needed

I wouldn't say that either were too easy actually - just right!
Hope you make another soon - thanks for the drink!

Lillie and Liz, Thanks you for playing and posting!

Allthough I'm not quite satisfied about the level itself, I'm happy to read that you've enjoyed it.

And if I ever make another level? Who knows?

At the moment I've no idea. If I want to work with the editor I think it's no problem to learn that. But how to get some creative ideas?

I'm bumping this level up in memory of Marinus.

That was amazing!
I am so sorry that I was not aware that Marinus could do such amazing things during his lifetime, so I could thank him.
Have a Drink

Thanks, I couldn't even solve this complex level from 5 years ago.

This level is not that complex to solve, if you just get the idea, but it must have been so extremely complex to write!
