New Level (adv) - I Can't Recoil

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 7:37 pm

I seem to be stuck in the editor this weekend, too cold to play outside I guess.

This one could definitely be a bit cranky.

Using Janet's 'fenced' texture again, thanks!

This was much much fun, Bob

Your sign for the boxes was very helpful. Needed a few restarts in the upper right corner with the cannon

The sound of the coilys being killed always brings a smile on my face

Thanks a lot

This was truly brilliantly done!!!

It took me quite awhile to figure out what to do when and dodge those cannons in the process

thanks for the helpful sign

so I grabbed up all the coins and made my way to the exit thinking I was on my way home

okay another dozen times later I finally made it, very tricky!

Thank you for this brain strainer.

I'm afraid I'm gonna need some time on this one, Bob. You're just to brilliant to not boil my brain

Even with your sign, I haven't a clue where to begin.
I've been able to travelate down to the generator, but I can't get that cannon to take out the keg.
It's a great bamboozler and I love the title!

Here are some screen shots for the start.

Oh, so I did get it right the first time

Too bad I didn't stick to it then

Amazing!

The travelator work is tops and put together with the items involved makes it spectacular.

The prisms going off on the right was awesome and just to be sure, I did get the sign, it was the right side that held me up.

Thanks for the great level and the lesson in, "Travelaotor 101"

PS - The title is perfect

Awesome!

I finally got to see your fireworks display!

Loved the cool travelator moves, especially on the right side.

This one really had me stumped all day!

If it wasn't for your opening spoiler I would still be stuck.
I had been pushing the metal boxes in the upper right part instead of the lower section where the sign was.

I did complete it without using one metal box on the left side.
Though I sank it elsewhere for purposes of the ending.
Also I never touched the boulder, so I'm not sure what it was meant for.

Here's what I did on the left side:

I pushed the wood box down first, used the travelator to fetch the coin on the right, then sank one metal box below the wood box.

I agree with Kiki! This is an amazing level, Bob. Thanks. BTW - I didn't use the boulder at the top.

You don't need to use the boulder if you hustle a bit, at least I assume that's how you and Mark did it, but at the end it means one less box to push.

Also, using the boulder allows you a moment to reflect on what your next move will be.

And Mark, I had a feeling someone would do something different with the wood box, initially it was metal but I liked the idea of the coiley bouncing around so I made it wood. Doesn't really matter, it has no impact one way or another on the outcome.

Thanks for your comments everyone, I liked this one myself.

Great level! But without the pictures I had probably still no idea how to start with the boxes. Everything I wanted to say more about the level, is been said by Mark yet.

Thanks for the fun!

It's always amazing how different our minds work

Here I was solving this in about an hour and some of the best level makers/solvers are crying for hints.

On the other hand there are levels where I'm completely blind and you solve it in a moment...

Am I the alien or are you?

Lutz, let me tell you a secret, we're all aliens in Wonderland. You are the only human being.

Finally got my gold

Still trying with this one Bob - I'll get there in the end, promise!

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Thu Feb 26, 2009 9:10 pm

I had a heck of a time with this one. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do the right side so it took me a lot of restarts. I never used the boulder either. I did once and it was just in my way.

Have to show ya a pic though. I pushed the cannon and went thru the tp and pushed the metal box all in one smooth move, I had a good laugh on that one and of course another restart.

Thanks for help with the boxes. This was a pretty cool level. Thanx Bob..

Finally made it through with this one. Great fireworks.

Your levels are getting more and more amazing Bobster!

Thanks.
