The Wonderland Board

Loofoni was practicing his levitation trick
and got stranded on a very small ledge.

Important Note:
If you play any level after "Levitation",
Loof will attempt to use Astral Projection to appear in them.
To exorcise his ghost from your machine,
just exit and restart Return to Wonderland Deluxe.

Very interesting, Mark! I am not sure how you did it but it was weird to see Loof stranded like that! I managed to get through to the exit after a bunch of deadly starts!

Howdy Mr Magic. That was very interesting, You never cease to amaze me, That was the coolest effect, It was like Loof walking out of thin air. Awesome level. Thanks for the experience.

Very well done! I took a cue from Survivor. this time Loof was on Exile Island!

Excellent effect - looked really cool too! I thought I would have a right stinker with it - but was pleasantly surprised!

Thanks for such a fun level - Mr Illusionist! Happy Birthday To You!!!!!

Important Note:

Loirae noticed a peculiar after-effect from playing this level.
Every level that you play after will contain a ghost of Loof.
To exorcise his ghost from your machine, simply shut down
and restart the "Return to Wonderland Deluxe" program.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Mark

BRILLIANT - see how magic you are

I noticed it, too! Very funny level! Very funny glitch!

Hilarious glitch Mark ... You've had me cleaning my specs this morning. This one of your most spectacular illusions yet !

I thank you

Kazza

I have absoluteley no idea what happened here, but Loof found his way

That was so cool

Hey, Marcus, very very funny, but next time let Loof help with the other levels, he is there anyway - could be very useful especially with yours Thanks for the adventure,

Iva

I was the same as Salin. Don't know how it happened but I got it work and went home with the gold! Another great level from the resident Magician!

I was completely stuck with this one, so I decided to try playing other levels to see the glitch. Sure enough there was Loof on every level (except my last Coin Quest 35 - maybe he was inside a wall there). I noticed the ghost shadow under him each time.

So when I went back to play this level, I noticed the ghost shadow, and then found the real Loof, so was able to complete the level.

What a totally excellent effect. You are a master of magic for sure!

Even after a peek in the editor I have no clue what to do

Edit: Thanks for the hint.
You always amaze me with the stuff you're coming up with. Thanks

Scratching my head on this one! I have no idea how that worked, or how I got Loof unstuck, but I did get my gold star!

Thanks for a truly perplexing level!

P.S. It was kind of fun having Loof haunt my levels. It always gave me a start, though!

Dear Amadeus, THAT's the most amazing effect I've ever seen.
I now have 2 Loofs! I've been sitting here studying it and studying it..... After loading it up in the W level editor, apparently 2 loofs pop up, but 2 Loofs don't get saved. Please continue this strange programming, it's a thrill.

Hi Virtlands - what is that blue star icon in your screenshot please? I have never seen that in the Editor!!!

Thanks

Lillie, that's the TP icon. What does yours look like?
See:

Here's how mine looks - that's why I always think of it as white!

I want purty ones like yours and Virtlands

EDIT: Mark just told me how to change the TP's in my options!!!!! Thanks

Loof is stranded on a ledge. Could you PM on how to finish this level?

Here's help getting started...

Hold down the up arrow key while the level is loading and don't release it until you hear an explosion.
Then press the right arrow key for Loof to have an out of body experience.

Woah!
I would never get it without a spoiler -- thanks Mark.
The out-of-body-effect-making is the most spectacular trick I've saw. The level which moves by itself with a familiar but still shocking questioning sound, had my eyes wide open!
After I looked at the editor I understodd where the true Loof was hiding, and how did you change the game focus to be on a ghost Loof, but I'm still wondering why you need to hold the up arrow key (I thought one press is perfectly enough to do that move -- NOT!) and what explodes and how the sphere and the barrel destroy themselves.
Could you please PM me on complete mechanics?

The real Loof goes into the teleporter before you can see the level completely. For some reason this makes the screen fly down way below the real Loof. I think that you just need the exact right placing of the ghost
Loof to get the effect of the ghost Loof being the real Loof.

I worked out that by pressing an arrow key on a different level so that I would quickly get through the teleporter, but the screen went way below the selected character. I worked out that I could fix it by pressing enter
to go to the next character.

ONLY READ THIS IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!

You're not playing with the stranded loof at all! It tries to trick you with that Loof and the sign, but the real Loof on the real sign is actually somewhere else in the level, but as he went through a teleporter just when the level started, The View went to the ghost Loof!

How well I recall this level. It was posted on my birthday last year, and was the first Wonderland level to use hex editing.

To answer your questions.

How did you change the game focus to be on a ghost Loof?

If you enter a teleporter at the very start of a level,
there is a glitch that shifts the point-of-view below the selected character.
This is corrected when entering a teleporter again.

Wondering why you need to hold the up arrow key?
What explodes and how the sphere and the barrel destroy themselves?





The up arrow has Shadow Loof push the boulder down to destroy the barrel and the blue sphere beside it.
This generates a sphere that rolls left through a fake wall passage to destroy the barrel and the box blocking Loof.
With the box and barrel destroyed he can freely walk right.
The point-of view shifted below Loof gives the appearance of an out-of-body experience.

Thanks for the level!
