Well hopefully this will work after all the problems I've had finding this level.

I'm using the lizmetal texture which I used in my last published level, Stinky's Metal Jacket. This was a long time ago so I've included the texture here in case you don't have it.

Have fun! :D

EDIT: WRONG VERSION POSTED. WILL BE BACK WHEN AND IF I FIND THE FINISHED LEVEL.

DOUBLE DOG EDIT: IT'S OK NOW!!!)

I've reached the steel box area, but I don't know what to do now. I can't see any "top conveyor" anywhere... :?

Hey Liz,

I am excited to be able to play another level from you. I have the yellow and blue timer going. I'm stuck, too, at the two steel boxes. Am I going out of order? Did you, perhaps, forget to put in a travelator? A wee hint, please.

Thank you Liz for posting this! :D :D :D
It's like a walk down memory lane! 8)

Hi Liz
It's fantastic to see a new level from you. How I missed your smart ideas and your careful designs. :D
I've the same questions as the others here: No possibility to continue and to exit. Guess you didn't load up the final version of your level due to the problems with the directories of your new computer.
No cause for concern: Take your time to clear the situation. We can wait.
:lol: "The computer is a great device to solve problems, that wouldn't exist without it..." :lol:

Hi Liz! I can't find an exit or a "top conveyor".

So I'm stuck too.

EDIT: I posted at the same time as Chip! How weird...

EDIT2: By the way, that texture looks fantastic!

I too am stuck - even looked at the editor, but to no avail.

Even I have encountered the same scene. There is no solution after the steel box area. A UP conveyor is missing. Otherwise, it was a very wise level.

Sorry everyone.

You saw that I was having problems finding the level I'd made.

When I actually did find the level with the correct title, I assumed that was the completed level and didn't even think to check it

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Instead I've posted an earlier unfinished version.

Catastrophe!

I'M REMOVING THIS ONE AND WILL POST THE FINISHED LEVEL IF I FIND IT.

It should all be OK now!

I've uninstalled all the Midnight Synergy files and reinstalled them in the C: root directory. This seems to have done the trick.

Hope it works for you all. Sorry for the mess up! :roll:

Well, this level was a huge step from the first one! Wow! There is a lot of stuff going on there. I'm still at those blue spheres, but no hints please. I think I can figure it out after a while. :D

Spectacular Adventure Liz! :D
I'm still sussing out the blue sphere room.

Awesome Puzzles! 8)

Great level, Liz. I'm at the blue sphere puzzle and will ask for a hint. Thanks!

Hey Technos 72 - I see you've been playing Minecraft. That was where I spent a lot of my time when in the wilderness away from Wonderland.
I have no life either :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Anne - I don't know where you're at with the blue sphere room. Here are a couple of small hints. No peeking if you don't want to know:
After you push the sphere in the boulder left, push the prism beside the bottom blue sphere up onto the timer.
You need 2 blue spheres in the left side water.
Use the boulder to blow the barrel.

Finally made it - took me many hours.

My solution for the blue room was much clumsier, too many times going round and round - yours is more elegant.

Thanks!

OK, count me dumb here. How do you get back to the yellow sphere area without needing three balls plus one prism to fill the two water holes on the left in the blue area?

Ok, so I have the path open to the yellow sphere room and I have all the coins, but I don't know what to do with the breaktile. See the picture.

EDIT: The picture was too big, so here is a smaller one.

Hi Liz

Once lernt, never forgotten.

This was an exciting adventure from start to finish. The puzzle with the ice cube is brilliant, but I also loved to figure out the jumps and the moves on the rafts, and the end was really thrilling.
Thank you very much for this fantastic comeback. :D

What a BRILLIANT MIND you have, Liz! 8)

It took me all day to unravel the ZILLION challenges. :twisted:

So for all this time you were without Wonderland
It must have had all been bottled up in you
For your talent runneth over! :D

Thank you, my lady, for a day well spent! :wink:

Thank you everyone, you're all very kind.

Amnon - the hints I gave for Anne were only the beginning. After that you have to ride round and round on the rafts many times, so my way was probably no more elegant than yours.

LCD, I notice from your screenshot you have a sphere in the central water. You need 2 spheres in the far left water beside the breaktile.

Here's a walkthrough for the first bit of the blue sphere room.
Push the sphere inside the boulder L. Go down and push the prism U onto the timer. Push the blue sphere D and L. Push the boulder U to blow the barrel and step up. When the boulder stops push it down and leave it there for now. Push the prism up the ice onto the conveyor button and leave it there for now.
Here's a walkthrough for the raft bit.
Get on the raft and ride L, D, U, L, D. Change to the other raft and collect the 2 remaining coins on the water, ending up just above the first raft.
Ride the rafts round and round the top section until they are in a horizontal line at the bottom of the ice, then ride the raft D and R.
The prism/breaktile bit:
Using the ice curve push the prism down and onto the lower raft so it goes to the other side. Ride the top raft L, U, R, D, L and push the prism all the way L above the blue boulders in the water. Use the breaktile to collect the 3 coins and push the prism up onto the conveyor and into the water. Ride the raft round and push the other prism off the ice and into the water. Change to the lower raft and ride up to the top section.
And finally the timer bit:
Ride round and round until you have one raft at the bottom of the ice and other other beside the blue timer. Push the blue sphere round the conveyors to start the timer and ride the top raft L to leave the area.
See ... nothing complicated about it :lol: :lol: :lol:
I guess I got a bit carried away :oops: :D

All righty. Got this very clever level done. Thanks for the help with the blue sphere area, Liz. More levels to come from you, I hope.

No, my way was ugly :oops: and required more and unnecessary round-rafting than yours.

Whew, this was a workout. I was making a shambles of the blue sphere room and finally went looking for a little direction, and found it, thank-you. :)

Not too many problems with the rest of the level, a fireball got Peegue but those things happen...

Thanks Liz, a very enjoyable puzzle.

HELP PLEASE

This is not a dude - this is our beloved Qookie!!!

"dude" is what you usually call those bad red shadow-guys that shoot at you.

Anyway, you get to Qookie's area via the trampoline, jumping right and then down.

fiffi - I'll try to do a video solution - if I can remember how to do it myself now :oops: :lol:

First comes the blue sphere room, then the red button room; and you get there by jumping right then down on top-most trampoline.
