on your title!

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Fri Jun 29, 2007 4:11 am

Nobody does boulders like you, Kikaroo!

This was a riot of all things round.
And what a cataclysm!

Your title is hilarious, though the only ball broken was the first one.
Thank you for this wonderful challenge!

This really is a "Ball Breaker", Keeks. I've tried a bit of this and a bit of that but always end up stuck somewhere. Just a wee hint -- do we go down first or up after the initial move with the boulder???

do we go down first

Yes push the first boulder down then stand clear as it rolls back, It will clear all the boxes out of way. then head down to start that bottom sphere on the timer then you'll need that cube.

You really had me going with this one Keeks!

I just could not see a way to destroy the second ice cube

finally thought about the title and reallized how I had to set things up!
A little of this and a little of that and eureka...made it through!

Great fun, thanks bud!

I'm messing up with the ice cubes. Will someone please give me a hint?

I have the bottom done, the first ice cube used and discarded and I've opened all of the gates. That second ice cube keeps getting in the way of my box!!

That second ice cube keeps getting in the way of my box!!

Spoiler-

Once you have the cyan button covered with a boulder,
I push the top cube right onto the conveyor then quickly run down and collect the coin on the blue button and the bonus coins-
Then back up stepping on the timer and onto the moving conveyor then tramping left,
you must run down thru the open blue gate push the spheres right if they are stopped, Then quickly run to the left because the cube to the right will be coming.
it will be a stopper-
Now go left and down push the hidden sphere in the box up but don't follow, Now step back and push the box up and let it bounce back to build your landing platform.
Now tramp up and back then exit.

Now I realize some of you maybe did it different, But this is the way I do it.

It never even occured to me that I didn't have to destroy the second ice cube!

I loved every stinkin second of this. Every time I got bouldered I became more determined! I got to the end a few times but couldn't see my way across until that little light shone upone me!!!! Then I had to gingerly make my way from the beginning! What a hoot, Kiki! Thanks!

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 2:13 am

Boy! I'm about ready to go into the editor and remove that

lightpost there toward the end!!! I cannot beat that last ice cube. Does anyone have a different solution?

Here's how I did it anne,

stop all spheres and boulders and push the ice-cube up and gone. quickly push middle boulder right and top boulder up. push ice-cube all the way to the right and go down to blue button. push boulder on teal button up then right, it will take care of that pesky ice-cube. cross down when safe and push bottom boulder up when middle one is stopped, this should stop the middle boulder, push it down and forget about it. now push top boulder right and tramp left, push blue sphere up and wait in the box for both it and the boulder to come back and fill the water hole. use the box to fill the breaktile spot push it up and stand just to the left of the tramp, the rest I'll leave to you!

Mrs Dimwit here

When I bring the first icecube up from the white timer room - what do I do with it? Stop the sphere's and boulders? There is absolutely not enough time therefore to have the second icecube on the stopped conveyor, tramp left, go into the blue gated room to push the sphere's right again AND do all that and have time to get to the left of the tramping icecube

Me no understand - sorry Keeks

EDIT: OK - did it the Bobster way - thanks Bob

Ace level Keeks - I would like to know how you did it mate - you must have speedy fingers!

Anyway, glad I was able to break your balls

Thanks for another great level!

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 3:44 pm

Got it! Thanks, Bob! I was so excited when I saw your walkthrough I didn't read carefully. I went back to read it again and saw that Lillie had done it. So...read carefully and I'm home!

TASHA · Post by **TASHA** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 3:45 pm

I'm with Lillie on this one ....just wasn't fast enough to do it Keeks way.

Many thanks Bob for providing another route. Finally got 'er done. Great stuff Mr. Keekster

I've been working on this on and off for ages. And that wretched cube kept getting in the way at the end.

It was driving me barmy (more barmy than I already am of course)

Thanks Bob for your help. That was the way I was solving it, except I couldn't destroy the cube.

Tried your way Keeks, but didn't understand it, and the red button didn't get covered.

Ace puzzler and full of brilliant action.

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 5:05 pm

Thanks for jumping in Bob, much appreciated!
Sorry for this one folks, It is a bit over the top with the quick fingers if yo do it my way, I didn't even consider Bob's way which is much better than mine.
My way involves quick movement, Getting to the left side of the cube before it arrives, I barely made it every time

wonderlandlover · Post by **wonderlandlover** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 6:00 pm

This took ages for me to get. After reading all the comments, I see I did it your way, Kiki, because even with fast fingers, it seemed easier. In other words, I couldn't figure out another way!

Nice puzzle! Thanks!

Time for inventory count:

Proudly no ball was broken by its own kind!

One plain ball flew overboard and is missing in action.
Two balls were drowned (one blue one plain).

But the enemy suffered more casualties:

5 wooden boxes destroyed!
1 ice-cube thrown overboard!
4 bridges destroyed!
1 button permanently disabled!

7 coins and 6 pieces of gold captured!

I had a tough time getting through this one! Finally worked my way through and reached the exit. Thanks for a great level Kiki! Now I need to read the spoiler and see if I did it right!

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 6:51 am

I think if you solved it, You did it right, hehe!
this one is chock full of holes, Good job no matter what solution you used.

drushing · Post by **drushing** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 6:55 am

I agree that if you solve a level then you did it the right way! I did this one as you planned though!

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 3:01 pm

This sure was a ball buster. I don't have any balls personally to bust but ya know, the theory of it all.

I came back yesterday, finally, from a short trip and was determinded to get this level done before I even tackled any others. Finally got it and came to post and WOW did I do it weird

I kinda did it Bob's way but did things a bit differently in the boulder/sphere/timer area.

This was a ton of fun to figure out, thanks again for a brilliant level Keekster!

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 4:31 pm

Well I've been trying this one on and off for ages and still can't get it.

I came back looking for clues, I can see I was on the right track just not fast enough

now I'll have to try Bob's way and see if I can get my gold.

Still plugging away at it......

Excellant brain strainer but I don't want to look at it any more

I want to solve it

speegled · Post by **speegled** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 10:29 pm

I can't cover up the red button,Help

kiki · Post by **kiki** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 10:48 pm

I can't cover up the red button,Help

I push the sphere that is inside the cube, Up, This gets the red button covered.
