New level [adv] :: GhostField

Hi there, after a few months I'm back,...

Here's my HEXXED level;

Ghostly fields affect their hosts in unusual ways,...
giving the affected matter new properties.

Rainbow spirits are held still;
Saucers are tamed.

You'll have to get all the rainbow coins first,
in order to access the Exit portal.

Love the texture and models Andy. The whole thing is so mysterious and surprising.

I have no idea how you do this trickery but it's very clever indeed.

Can't solve the level yet.

Back later.

Indeed very mysterious and surprising! Also nice texture and models. Since there are so many surprises I like that you made such subtile little lamp models, instead of making big models to hide even more things!

I went totally against my instinct, and got the gold. However, I used the Alt-X keys to find the last bonuscoin, for I knew what would happen if I opened it in the editor.

Thanks for the fun!

Looks like next time I shall try harder to avoid any loopholes.

With a good bit of exploring and alot of trial and error I made it to the exit with all the coins.
Great looking texture and models.
Good to see a level from you Andy, Thanks!

That's freaking eerie...

Got up to the house, but then thought sings means safety and went straight into a ghost.

Thanks for the fun, it was fun and quite easy.

Sorry, I did need to use two of the prisms.

In the end it was quite easy but totally mystifying.

Thanks for the fun Andy.

Indeed it was quite simple, but what's on that sign behind the ghost?

And I didn't need to use two of the prisms, but one just broke due to UFO fire, so I only really had one left.

Here's the YouTube solution for this level,

Some of you were too clever and did it without using the two
prisms,... I haven't been able to personally duplicate that.

Wait, wait, wait.
Pushing prisms INTO the UFOs? No wonder I didn't find that solution.

Here's how I did it without two prisms:

At the top part of the level, push the box off the cyan button and stay there. Then step off when the rainbow spirit is at the LEFT side of the cyan gate.

Step between the UFOs to make them selfdestruct each other. Push the prism one square down if you wish to keep it, but there is no reason for that.

Step onto the cyan button again, to release the rainbow spirit. Wait until the spirit is safely on the right side of the cyan gate, then quickly push the box into the flame, and collect the coins from the other side.

To collect the coin near the UFO, when you're above that coin, go down-down-left. This will make the UFO miss at it's first shot (for whatever reason) and you'll be out of harm's way for the second shot.

The rainbow spirit is now alive and well, so wait until it starts going to the right, and then quickly get into the fake wall and then collect that bonus coin in the house. It's not difficult, however, it's a bit more difficult to get out. Still very doable.

Now that you have managed to sneak in and out, go to the bottom part of the level and do as in the solution.
