The Wonderland Board

It's been about two years since I opened the editor.
Thought it was about time I Return to Wonderland.

N' Joy!

Great to see you again, Mark!

A very nice level and not too hard.

Thanks!!!

Hi Amnon,

I had one object too many.
Not sure if that will make a difference in your solution.

I removed one box in the new update.

Yes Mark, I did the ending in two different ways. That object is not necessary, but if you take away a box, more dodging would be necessary and the level would become more action-oriented rather than a pure puzzle.

There's absolutely no dodging in my solution.
I use a box or cube to misdirect the UFO to another location hence the title.
It sounds like you were doing a scary circle dance.

Finally I managed the revised version with a bit of less dodging and a more predictable outcome.

Two Steps to Avoid Dodging:

SPOILER:
Push the box up on the TP as the UFO passes by the other TP, the box will sit on top of the TP.
When the coast is clear, push the box one up to misdirect the UFO into the north room by stepping on the aqua button.

Your hint will really be helpful for me. Thanks!

However, you should use #f0f0f0 or #EFEFEF colour for creating spoiler text.

Those Two Steps are obvious. The dodging I referred to occur much later, when the need arises to permanently cover the button but the only available equipment is dangerous to bring.

Then how would you bypass that dodging? I see.

I don't know what the intended way is, but what I did is to keep the UFO in the right chamber and carefully bring it the keg when it patrols the top part of the chamber. It's still kind of dodging, but not as risky.

That's how I solved it. I only consider it dodging, when the enemy is in the same room at very close quarters.

Spoiler:
I wait until UFO passes the open gate travelling up, and then push the keg near the door, then quickly step up one.

Thank you Aryan and you're welcome for the hint!
Since I've been gone from the forum they updated the interface.
Took awhile to see where they put attachments for adding a file.

Your hint was a helpful one, indeed... but not for that part.

I had the overall solution pretty quickly in my mind, but didn't figure out the teleporter trick (for some reason), so I was actually trying to dodge the UFO the whole way through. It's not impossible, but I was also trying to bring the ice cube "the long way round" and that required even more dodging and was a pain. I would eventually pull it off, I guess, but since I already had the puzzle figured out in my mind, I decided to read the hint and use it.

First solution (not the first try, though) -- I use your hint, spend a lot of time to-and-froing and solve the level with about 20 seconds left on the clock.

Second solution -- I dodge the UFO, but then I use the teleporter trick to shorten the path for the ice cube, which made things significantly easier. Left with about two and a half minutes on the clock, which is a better score.

I guess you can combine both teleporter tricks to make both the start and the ice cube easier, but I got out with a decent time on the clock, so I'm OK with doing what I did.

Not too difficult to figure out, but very elegantly crafted. The coin on the water and the overall starting puzzle leading up to it was my favorite part of the level.

Mark and Amnon - That was my solution too, I thought there's any easier way than that.

And like Muzo, without knowing the teleporter trick, went to circle the UFO. But with your hint, I got it.

And yea, thanks for the pretty nice level, Mark!

Waiting for more from you.

This was a tough one for me.
It finally came together when I realized where I needed to send the UFO.
Didn't use the tp trick, wish I had remembered it.

Thanks Mark!

This is a maddeningly tricky puzzle! Par for the course for Mark.

I'm stuck in the exit room with a box blocking the doorway and a UFO circling menacingly in the lobby.
I'm wondering now if I was supposed to do something different with the barrel. Help anyone???

It is still possible, with great difficulty, but at this stage there should no longer be a UFO, which would make it so much easier!

The UFO should have gone at the same time with the metal box.

Lol, it appears that I missed a critical miss direction! Thanks for the hint.
