New Level (adv) - Five Spheres

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Tue Sep 09, 2008 10:21 pm

I had some quiet time so I thought I would make a level but I couldn't think of a title.

Uses my 'wharf' texture which I've used probably too many times before.

Edit: I made a big mistake. There's supposed to be a wall behind Stinky when the level opens, not a break-tile!

Please re-download the proper version. Thanks and sorry.

I must say this is sure one heck of a challenging puzzle. I've figured it all out, collected all the coins, got the bottie to do its job but somewhere I messed up. I had left the upper left coin and after the bottie did it's thang the gate was closed and I couldn't get that coin, but with a little boulder help I got the coin but then the green gate was closed and Loof couldn't make the exit.

I'll have to rethink this one tomorrow.

I made a mistake and have corrected it, see above.

The change should solve the green gate issue.

Really a nice level! Not to hard and not to easy but just fun. Thanks!

Well, now I'm really confused, I see no way to cover the yellow button.

I found out my problem, it had to do with that first boulder and what I was or wasn't doing with that. Once I took care of that little problem the rest came together right nicely.

I knew what to do just not how to do it.

Thanks for the help Marinus and Bob...great level Bob...thank you

Hey Bob,

I really enjoyed playing this level. I appreciate your puzzle making skills and logical thinking in laying out the objects.

Every now and then, I think I'm ready to make a level, then balk. Although I've played around in the editor, I'm not sure how to begin thinking in developing a level. Any hints?

Great stuff Bobster, so glad you found some time

Thanks to Monica I got this one done finally. That yellow button was giving me fits I tell ya, just fits! I never would have figured that move out on my own

Thanks Bobster this was FUN!

Excellent moves to sort this one out, I really had a time of it with the start.
After I made it to the left area I had to rethink some early moves but finally got there.
Thanks for the level Buddy!

Sometimes I will put a coin in an insane spot then make puzzles to get to it.
Other times I will put in an exit then a starting point and go from there.
But most of the time I just start putting items down then build around them and tweak things around until it works.

I would love to see another level maker, so I hope you carry on.

Do you remeber when you were a kid and you would take a pencil and close your eyes and randomnly draw all over the page then fill in the areas with color?

That's how I make levels.

I start with walls, then water and I tweak it until it works.

All you need is the start point then the tweeks start to take on a direction and you just follow it. And if you get stuck go through the editor and see what's available. Maybe that ghost could play a part or run a slide here and there.

And if you want help, just send your idea to myself or Keeks. I probably shouldn't speak for him but I'm willing to bet he'll agree.

Absolutely, I would be glad to help any way I can.

Thanks for the ideas, Kiki and Bob. I just may need to "suck it up" and give her a go! ::::she says as her knees quake:::: I really don't know what my fear is about. I'll give it a try this weekend.

This one is driving me mad. I've done the beginning a thousand times by now and I always get stuck! HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!

There's a green sphere inside the boulder, push it down when the z-bot is blocking the lower green sphere. Now push the boulder down and stay where you are. The z-bot should be directed up to the keg blowing it and the boulder and starting the generator.
