Well guess who's had levelmakers block for a fortnight ? - and what terrible timing, just short of the milestone ! :roll:

I think I've ironed out all the alternative routes and shortcuts in this one but you know me ... play it your own way :wink:

I'm using one of my favourite textures, I think it was Virtlands' creation and I love it .. many thanks.

I'll post a hint or 2 here just in case it's a bit stinky. Plenty of forward planning required. :wink:
1. A few items have more than one use.
2. Don't forget another character can block a TP
Please have fun now :P

Kazza :) :)

:D :D :D As I struggle through the valley of the shadow of Kazza's amazing level, I shall fear no cannon/barrel/box/boulder For thee are with me Peegue and Loof, And we carry a big stick and are very happy to have solved this 400th fabulous level. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Kaz. Boy-O-Boy, I think I found all your traps, Two or three times each, I spent about 2 hours straight on this stinker, :shock: I really enjoyed the method to get the bonus and one rainbow coins in the upper left corner of course you do have to plan ahead for that one, If you don't, :twisted: Well you all will see, Finally everything began to fall into place, Every room a fine puzzle to solve and there is an order to follow, Well done. :D
I'm very proud to have played and completed this gem of a puzzle Kaz. I must say that I have enjoyed your levels from the time I first joined the forum and always look forward to a new post from you, The forum would not be the same without your chat and levels every one top quality, Thank You. 8) Cheers Matey! I look forward to another 400, Carry on... :D :D :D :D

Congrats on #400 Kaz! Your levels are so creative and challenging and I have enjoyed everyone of them! This one took a lot of trial and error and I can tell you I had a bunch of the error part!! Kept at it until I made progress section by section! Didn't realize the way to the bonus coins until it was too late! I thought that was cool how you set it up! Finally made it to the exit and collected another gold star! Thanks for numerous hours of excellent fun, hope to see many many more levels from you!

Oh Good Golly! This was a brain strain, Kaz. Just wonderful! I came back from a vacation of 4 days and thought I'd judt jump right back in to playing, and was greeted by this. And I guess that wondervibe had left me because I just sat and stared at that red boulder/box thing forever. All day I tried to puzzle that out and then, finally I got it. here's to another 400!

Well Kaz, you certainly came back with a "bang". I think that stinker was brewing in your brain for quite awhile. Now I'm the one with the brain block. There are so many different ways to try the first part; and none of them are working for me. I think I need a hint on this one. (These are the types I usually just "quit" on, but I hate to quit a Kazza level!!)

THANKS for all your comments guys - it's a pleasure to make em, if you enjoy playing it's a bonus :P

Here's a spoiler for each bit, pick out what you need and thanks for playing :D :D

First Bit
1. Peegue goes right, pushes barrel in water, barrel gen starts.
2. Peegue goes thru yellow tp, then back thru it again to tramp into Loof's enclosure.
3. Fill puddle and place wooden box on yellow button.
4. One character goes thru white TP and stands still, 2nd character goes thru and stands still, first character steps down out of the way, 2nd character pushes barrel in water, first character pushes barrel north thru white TP, now you have a spare item to cover red AND yellow buttons, 2nd character hoys barrel right thru white TP (it explodes, you don't need it).
5. Next step is to block bottom of white TP with the goobs and the other side by someone standing there allowing the other character to reach the pink button
Second Bit
1. One character remains on pink button whilst the other tramps into the next section (landing on green button).
2. First move the solitary prism a couple of squares to the left, you only have one shot with the cannon. Access via bridge tile on lowest part of the ice slide.
3. Fetch cannon from the that little ice slide room and shoot the top row of 4 prisms, the others should all smash too.
4. Put cannon on green button
Third Bit
1. Bottom right room, move both steel boxes one square (left and right) so they are adjacent to the ice and set red boulder moving - it will go back and forth.
2. I think you can start either side, I start with the right hand steel box. as boulder is rolling back to the left, dash round and move the right hand steel box level with the puddle. As boulder comes back and passes, step down, boulder will stop where you were standing.
3. Now push steel box in the water and set boulder rolling again.
4. Get ready to run behind the other steel box and push it back towards the right to block red boulder level with the puddle.
5. Push boulder in the puddle to complete bridge and then place remaining steel box at the bottom of the ice slide.
Fourth Bit
1. Jump sequence for top left bonus coins/conveyor area. Stand where the row of 4 prisms were and prepare to tramp to the right.
Go R D D U and finally L as character goes thru the red TP.
Fifth Bit
1. Switch to the other character that was on the pink button all this time. First collect the rainbow coins in that room where all the prisms were (and white timer switch).
2. Avoiding cannon fire, collect rainbow coin in conveyor switch room and then push the cannon into this room. The prism will smash and this action delievers a transporter to the stranded charater top left.
3. The stranded character can now head to the main section on the transporter, doubling back at one stage for some bonus coins round the island - it doesn't complicate the ride.
Sixth Bit
1. Meanwhile, the lower long puddle should now be filling up with boulders, the last one will activate the white timer switch.
2. Now bridge is complete, character can walk round to the pink goop and tramp bit.
3. Tramp north, then coming back, push the pink goop one square south and the ice cube over the wall to destroy the cannon.
4. Follow the ice cube and walk over the timer switch and stand on the round conveyor button - the other charater can now step off the transporter
Last Sequence
1. The character which has just stepped off the transporter must put the steel box on the dark blue button before leaving that room and head for the exit.
2. Before tramping north into the last corridot home, throw pink goop over the wall onto the pink button.
3. Now both characters can exit
:D :D :D :D

Kazza :) :)

Thanks for the help Kaz. I was on the right track with the first part (and didn't realize it.) The goobs weren't working for me so I thought I was doing the whole thing wrong. Today the lightbulb came on and was able to move past that part. Now onward and upward to the rest of the puzzle. Thanks so much.

WOWZA Kazzie - what a wonderful puzzle :D :D :D I just loved it! Here I am sitting with my new whizzy PC, flatscreen monitor (how excited am I :D ) and I had this brilliant Kazzie level to complete. My PC has been crashing and re-starting itself for weeks now - and now I can sit and play to my hearts content without the worry of it crashing halfway through posting or playing or creating!

I must admit to peeking at a couple of your clues :oops: - but only for the beginning part (kept getting Peegue barrelled) and for the iceslide/tramp bit (had no idea I had to tramp through the red TP).

This was brilliant, it all linked together perfectly! 8)

Thanks so much for your wonderful levels and for your input into this Forum - you da bomb xxx

Thanks so much for posting those hints Kazbah!

I got the first part worked out OK, but the trampoline bit had me completely lost - mostly because I didn't put the metal box in the required place.

Absolutely ace puzzle. :stinkyhappy:

Absolutely brilliant, Miss Kazzie. Would never have gotten the whole puzzle without your very helpful hints. Had some parts sorted out but definitely required some help in certain places. Many thanks for creating this superb level for your 400th. This must have taken you quite some time to design.

No wonder it took me so long to figure out, Kaz, that's not how I did it! :lol: :lol:

I finally got some time to tackle this little puppy and it was quite a chase!

Loads of fun, with no spoilers or hints necessary, but I did read your walkthrough after I finished and like Loirae, I did this quite a bit differently :shock: ! Nevertheless the result was gold and that's what counts.

Thank-you Kaz, for all of your levels and I'm looking forward to many more!

Hi Kaz,

just wanna say congratulations on your 400th excellent level.

Spitefully I haven't mangaed to solve it yet, but I just saw you put some hints in here. Peeked at the first part because this is where I'm stuck :?

So hopefully I can make some progress now :D

Posted: Fri Jun 02, 2006 8:54 pm
by Lutz
Yeah, did it :P :P :P

Once I get started it was only some more tries to gain gold. This has been a tough workout. Hope you're keeping at 14x14 until the next centennial :wink:

A really fun level, Kaz! Congratulations on 400! I made it through this one partly on my own and partly with your help. Thanks for that help and one more gold star! :D

It seems I've been going back to this one for ages. This was really a stinker. Tonight I finally decided to try for some hints BOY O BOY did you have some great walk throughs! I needed all but the last two bits.

Great stuff Kazzie! You really came up with a puzzlin' puzzler with this one. I'm glad to see you take it a bit easier on us at times. Thanks for this! Now I have to go find a few hundred more of yours that I haven't been able to complete hehe :oops:
