546LIZM - Let's Get Spherical 1

Hi All

Inspired by Olivia Newton John's - Let's Get Physical but sort of in reverse!

Using Janet Galle's lovely bright texture RWB, which has been used before.
Thanks JG!

Hey Liz,

If I'm seeing this right, I don't think I can move my fingers fast enough around the generator to get the timing right.

Is there another way that I'm not seeing?

Fun challenge so far.

There's plenty of time Anne, even for my arthritic fingers.

Just look where the generated balls are going and make a plan.

Hey Liz,

I went back at took another look. I was making it way too complicated. Thanks for the fun level.

Great level!

I hope I did it as intended because I didn't use one box.

Thanks!

Well I guess that box can go in the store cupboard of unused items!

Clearly you did it differently Amnon. No surprise!

I'm still working on this one, Liz.
I can figure out how to hop the tramps at the end,
but I'm still stuck on eliminating all of the spheres.
There are just so many possibilities for moving them around.

EDIT: Well, I finally got the generator going, so everything fell into place.
Though I did not need the box with the sphere inside.
Guess I'll have to wait for that video.

Thank you, Liz! You are a creative genius!

Yes, that's the box which I also did not need.

I was thinking maybe Liz intended that box as part of a 'Boomer Sandwich',
but with the tramp there and a bit of careful timing it didn't appear necessary.
I must be missing something... Hmm.

If I can find a way other than careful timing, that's the way I'm going to go. The "boomer sandwich" was a perfect set up. Thanks, Liz!

Anne, did you bounce the box on Boomer's head or find a creative way to squeeze him?

That's exactly what I was going to ask: any recipe for a boomer-sandwich that does not require exacting cooking times?

There is an alternate way of using two boxes, but you still have to tramp the box at a specific time.
Though the timing may have to be less precise with two boxes. Oh well...

Yes, I have tried it, but I usually miss while with the one box I almost always get it right.

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Tue Jul 02, 2013 7:53 pm

I put one box by the jump then tramped the second box over. That's what I meant by "squeezing". The timing this way doesn't require as much precision as using just one box - in fact I could never get it to work using only one box.

I tramp the box just before Kaboom touches the bottom edge of the tile (located one space west of the yellow tile).

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Wed Jul 03, 2013 6:37 am

Well that box certainly has caused a lot of discussion!

My way was the boomer sandwich way, which I agree still does take some precise timing, but not so precise as Amnon's way. I have tried to do it a few times using Amnon's method but haven't managed it yet.

Hello all, how do i get the yellow generator to go at different times, i just not quick enough i have been trying for 2 days now and had to give in and ask for help, love your games Liz I always look for them.
thanks

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Thu Jul 04, 2013 7:38 pm

Hey fiffi,

Get it started without removing the coins first. Then go from there. I did the same thing.

fiffi · Post by **fiffi** » Thu Jul 04, 2013 8:03 pm

Thanks Anne but now i will have to rethink the yellow spheres as i am left with 1 at the start and cant get back unless i jump and take away some coins
and my old brain takes time to figure it out so any help would be much appreciated,

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Thu Jul 04, 2013 8:20 pm

Spoiler:

push the sphere in the box down then right.

Chip · Post by **Chip** » Thu Jul 04, 2013 11:03 pm

Hi Liz
My way was the boomer sandwich too, and I loved to figure out the timing.

Thanks for another gem.

Fun level ,I finally had time to play it and after getting the yellow balls where they go, with the boomer sandwich hints I got the rest. Thanks for the fun.

Annie

Thanks for playing everyone

Wow! You had a lot of extra long jumps in your video!

I took the travelator just after all the gates opened up.
Then I tramped the boulder right, smashed it on the coin.
Grabbed the coins and pushed the sphere down exiting through the fake wall.
Then I was able to jump to travelator and make my getaway with the yellow gate closed.
I guess I cheated... Sorry Liz.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Fri Jul 05, 2013 8:28 am

You didn't cheat Mark!

You did it your way.

I'm famous for always taking the long way round.
