New Level - Tori's Studio

Post by Tech Warrior » Thu Jun 29, 2023 8:16 pm

The Morklin Foundation has commissioned Tori for a big project, but her studio is a mess! Can you help her reorganize and clean things up in preparation for what she expects will be a flood of new clients? She'll be forever grateful.

But wait... what's the big exhibition, exactly? Well, let's just say Tori is a character you may see again soon. :)

EDIT: Variation added which utilizes Amnon's brilliant solution (JOEY002A).

DIFFICULTY: 9/10

Intended solution HERE.
Amnon's solution HERE.

Perhaps Tori's Studio was a bit too much of a mess, but never fear, for the video solution is HERE.

I am still working on this one - I haven't given up.
One thing for sure, it is not difficulty-level 7/10, it is much more than that.

Just watching the video solution, I have to agree :lol:

I've already stressed this elsewhere but watching it was an absolute blast! Top quality. Just way beyond the realms of my own capabilities as a potential solver :oops:

Thanks Jutomi! Hopefully soon I can put out a level that's actually a 7/10 - I just can't help myself most of the time. :oops:

Difficulty updated to 9/10 for now, but maybe it's a 9.5? It would be crazy to think it is on par with some of my insane puzzles from the QFE series, but perhaps this is the case!!

Curious what sections are causing you the most trouble, and what interactions you have had with the rainbow spirit as of yet?

Well: I know where the cannon must fly, Qookie could fly there herself, but then she would not find her way back. The thing is, there is not enough time between pressing the square blue button, pushing the cannon to the right and then coming around to push it down - that boulder would be long gone by then. And there is no way to place the cannon in the proper place without accidentally stepping on the blue button too early.

I finally gave up and had a look at the editor, there I found a hidden object that made all the difference.

Even then I needed at least 30 tries to get it all together.

If that object was visible, then I would rate this level 8 or 8.5, but of course it isn't.

I did it somewhat differently but the main two moves were the same.

Nice work.

Interestingly, I anticipated that you'd find the hidden object early on, mostly just through exploring the area, and that your biggest trouble would rather be: dealing with the bottom-most pink gate after moving the red sphere where it inevitably must go.

Did you use the other objects in the same way as my solution, or did you find some other way?

No, I used the objects differently - not the least the red spheres. A little surprise about them awaits in my video solution: https://ln5.sync.com/dl/4e1257050/y882w ... 9-7smzmcbu

(if you can, please copy this solution to some stable location)

Lemme know if you wanna upload them, Joey. Otherwise I'll upload it somewhere safe Wednesday :P

Edit: My gosh you were not kidding about that ending :lol: Incredible!

What an incredible solution, Amnon! I didn't even realize you could manipulate the chomper in the opening moves to allow pushing the red sphere to the right, shame on me... However, what you've done with the rest of the level is quite amazing because you still use all the items in multiple ways, especially that prism. I also enjoyed how you utilized the boulder behind the blue gate, since I regretfully admit that was never intended to have a dual purpose in the original solution.

Your solution also shows that the red sphere generator is actually superfluous, because that prism can have one final use...

What I love about this solution is the fact that you actually do clean up the studio, as is the idea behind the level. Because of this, I was inspired to upload a second variation of the level that forces your solution, by removing the item mentioned above.

Your video solution is available HERE.
