New Level: Shadow Puppet

Post by Jutomi » Sat Oct 02, 2021 8:08 pm

A few experiments went wrong. Fortunately they unearthed something to me I don't realize before. :)

Hope you enjoy! :mrgreen:

Note: This one should be a little easier than my average level*, and is definitely substantially more fun than my previous one, hehe!

*P.S. I fixed a workaround (hence the switcheroo) and also made the level utilize another quirk of shadow stinkers (hence the flames). :)
edit2: removed a dumb box edit3: removed dumb unaesthetic gates that didn't do anything edit4: idk why I changed red gates to white
edit5: added edit4 and subtracted a bracket from a smiley.

Edit 6: My video of my intended solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkBwVaZQe_0
and Tech Warrior's alternate video solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSE8DUP9EIU

Pretty cool mechanics at play here! Though I didn't touch the boxes on the red buttons.

Oof. Then I suppose I overlooked something. :oops:

Ah well, as long as the level was enjoyable, hehe. Glad you guys liked it. :)

Right, of course! How silly of me!

So I actually forgot I could do that making the puzzle, then remembered it, and made it slightly harder - only to forget that there's a simpler way of doing that. :rofl:

I'm not actually disappointed though; it uses everything I wanted used, just in an easier, less round-about way! (And it turns out I could have made those boxes barrels and ditched the whole flame-gate thing!)

Many thanks for that, Tech; I'll be uploading my own solution some time in a few days. :)

Actually the current system works well with the boxes/flames - it adds some level of deception if you don't use them, whereas having barrels would have limited what I could try, leading me to the solution faster. :)

I forgot how tricky shadow stinker mechanics can be.

Both both my video solution and yours in the main post. Very well found. :)

Hope you've all enjoyed. ^-^
