Inaccurate Level Description wrote:Size: Medium

Feel: Natural, Alien, Hostile
Family: Contest
Reward: Well(High?)
Well, here is the level that was initially to be in Pawelec's weekly challenge inbox; sadly, there were only two contestants.
So, I shall be posting my submission here.
P.S. When I post the video solution(which is all ready recorded), you may notice that I spelled it "Chrimson" and not "
Crimson".

Yeap... I only learned the spelling via the spellcheck on this forum.
I hope you enjoy!
Oh, and here is the video solution, too.

Is this to be played in the WAE or the PotZE?

PotZE because the file is .wa3

I can see your point, though - if it were to be crimson magic.
It was just called "The Crimson Challenge" because...
maybe "The Red Challenge" doesn't sound as official?

I can get all of the gems except two in the northwest corner. I'm stumped. If only a certain tentacle didn't exist!

Would these happen to be the gems?

Yep, those are the ones!

Same here - I have an idea, but I don't have nearly enough time to pull it off. If only there was one vine more

I'm stuck after you get conveyor access. How do you get it to go the other direction?

The description in the most recent level I made for my hub that included
grow would fit greatly, here - except you'd change "
Grow" to "
Flo".
This would be:

it can do stranger.
I hope this helps.

My guess was that you would have to

I assure you...
it's possible.
It's kind of mean, though.

Oh, sorry if this is a bump, but I uploaded the video solution to this level.
P.S. I changed Chrimson to
Crimson.

Ultimately, I had to watch the video solution to get this. The one crucial piece I was missing was where I had to leave the green conveyor before retrieving the Water Chomper. Brilliant puzzle!

Aw, thanks, Kooky.
Oh! All so, because of what Pawelec told me(Thank goodness!), I changed "Wonderman's contest" to "Pawelect's contest" to "Pawelec's contest".

This was brilliant! One of the hardest puzzles uploaded so far since the release of POTZE! This reminded me of your Grand River Crossing, as both levels had very tricky misdirection.
I'm amazed how you managed to fulfil the criteria set by the WCP so nicely. I'm sure Pawelec would be proud to play this.

Honestly, I think the weekly challenge helped inspire me to try and make a particularly better level.
I think, however, that I, unfortunately, sort of bumped into a sudden stump - for no apparent reason.
I am coming up with ideas for inventions, no problem, but...
I can't come up with how to implement them.

Yeah, really cool! Also had to watch the video solution because of that darn green transporter

Thanks for good puzzle. I had to think.
