Destroy some UFO "chicks" and then their mother "hen" so you can finish the level.

I've tried this about 50 times and just can't get through without being zapped by something. :shock: :o :shock:

Have eliminated all the chicks but the hen just won't die before I get eliminated by the next wave or by the cannon!

Too hard for me Kiki (I'm a bit old and me fingers don't work so quick any more).

Liz :D :D

I'm with you Liz....
I have managed to have the Hen killed off, once, but there is no way I can get thru the cannon fire to get the coins on the sides, it is too tight. I gave up.
Sorry. It is a very good idea, and I love a level like this with UFO's.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

No, No, No. I hate ufo's (and ghosts, and coilys etc. etc.), and Motherships are even worse - they just won't quit.

I've tried this one too many times as well. It looks wonderful, and I love watching it, but I sure can't finish it.

Sorry Kiki, your levels are super, but just too hard for me. Wish I could do them, but I'm handicapped by low level brain power and slow fingers. :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Kiki, the level looks great but like the rest of these women, it is too hard for me.

Great effort.

Kiki, have to agree with all my fellow WONDERLANDERS. Gettling blown up at every turn isn't much fun!! Your levels are very cleverly designed, but it's just not much fun playing them since there needs to be some puzzle incorporated into the level other than being destroyed at every turn. Please keep making levels, but just give us a bit of a puzzle too where we can actually sort out what needs to be done.

Well put Tasha.

A good level is solving a puzzle; how do I get there? How can I avoid this; What tools are available for me to use; Can I make the route this way, that way? That is not to say a level must be HARD to be good.
This level has excellent possiblilites and I would like to see you redo it.
Looking back at some of my early levels, I have made some that were DUDS. Encouragement for all of us is good, but so is constructive criticizm.
Please don't take offense as none is meant....you have some nice ideas.
You may also get some posts from those who do not find this puzzle too difficult at all. :wink: And, maybe those are the ones this was made for!

Not true! :D

It can be done without killing Ma!! (see below)

It can be done by killing her too, of course, (I've done both), but this is easier. Still tricky, with good timing required, but easier.

Bear 8)

btw. This is a nice puzzle, and it is a puzzle! Figure out the route to take and then watch the 'chicks' movements and you won't get "destroyed at every turn". (sorry Tasha :D ).

Of course it is a puzzle, they are all puzzles, but some PUZZLES just aren't enjoyable to the masses and, unfortunately, this is one of them :!: :!: I guess the old adage applies -- "TO EACH HIS OWN" -- some luv 'em & some hate 'em. There was never any doubt that Old Bear would be able to complete this puzzle, but I can't complete any of his so what does that tell you.

Tasha :P :P

With this kind of attitude, you will probably end up being one of the best level makers we have here! :D BTW, I have been known to get carried away with levels myself. Especially in SIZE! :shock: Anyway, if no one tells us what's wrong with a level, how will we know not to make the same mistake again! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!! :D

Tasha - I honestly thought you were about 30ish. You must be very young at heart because you come across as a little girlie :lol: :lol: :lol: Not that 61 is old of course :P

I've enjoyed your level, kiki - and finally made it to the exit after being shot several times :roll:

There are always levels which you think you will never finish (and I even have some of this type created by Liz or Old Grandma , which I can't manage to finish :? ).
So what! Try again later - or finally delete it from your CustomLevels-folder.

Well kiki, I'm proud to say I did this one. Not easy at all and not my usual kind of level but it's a great feeling to succeed. :D

You did a good job of this and I look forward to seeing more levels from you. :wink:

Thanks for all the effort you are making to please everyone (an impossible task! :shock: ) it's greatly appreciated. :D

YEEEEE-HAAAAAAA! I did it! And I didn't kill Mama (see screenshot) - only because I couldn't :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am as pleased as punch Kiki! This was truly an excellent challenging level - in fact, it would not be out of place if it were included in the RTW game itself. Patrick, you have some competition here :wink:

Well done Kiki - you have a lot of talent in creating levels - I look forward to your next (I think) :shock: :lol: :wink:

Kiki, FINALLY! I did it! Twice! The first time I was missing 2 bonus coins. I bet you know where they were too. So I went back and did it again being sure to get those two coins. I did do away with the Hen both times, didn't want to miss the big explosion.

Great fun, Thanks! :D

Heh. A very fun and puzzling level too. Was this your first level, kiki, because you usually capitalize things?

It must have been an extremely early one - this level was made 4 days after kiki joined the forum. This would explain why the download to the level is missing. It had to be deleted to make room in his quota.

The level is available in the Nutters site level download area.
