New Level- PopPop PopPop

DiscGolfer · Post by **DiscGolfer** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 12:58 pm

I finally spent more than a few minutes making a level. I think I spent about three hours on this one over a weekend. That's a lot of time for DiscGolfer to devote to anything indoors other than...

nevermind.
Anyway, I'm pretty proud of this one. It has the usual DiscGolfer quirkeness, but turned out to be a pretty nice level also.
You'll see that Stinky has the awesome responsibility of freeing his three friends from their own "prisons". He has to do things just right, or poor Peegue will never be free from the popcorn maker.
I almost called this one "The Redenbachers"

Am now 100% wth your levels -- that is, 100% that I just can't do. I try & try but all to no avail -- I think my brain freezes up

Maybe a martini would help

Tasha, I know exactly how you feel.

I also have a difficult time with a lot of the custom levels, and am still trying to finish Secret Worlds. But it sure is fun trying.
When I design my little levels, they seem easy to me, so I fear they'll be too easy for others. I had a feeling this one would be pretty tough.
Once Stinky does his thing it gets really easy (I think

) I'd be happy to PM you a solution for this one, or any others I've made -except Lightning Strikes because I have a real difficult time getting through that one myself

I'd be happy to PM you a solution for this one,

You can PM me too!

Hi Discgolfer, I think that your levels are harder than you think. I have 56 of your levels, 27 of them do not have scores. I know some of those are visuals, but still, that leaves a lot not done. If you are going to give hints or solutions, please do it in white on the thread so everyone can read if they want. I'm sure Tasha, Cat and I aren't the only ones.

Thanks for the levels I have completed of yours!

Me too please! Got as far as the boulder/buttons then mistakenly sent Stinky home - leaving all the others trapped in generators

DiscGolfer · Post by **DiscGolfer** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 8:14 pm

Here are some clues-
SPOILER/HINTS AHEAD

You have to leave the coin above Stinky in order to use one of the boulders on the left to destroy the 4 wooden boxes that are rotating on the ice. Before getting to the boulder(s) you have to put the three boxes inside the ice into their respective homes, and grab all the coins. Box 1 goes up. Box 2 goes to the left, but requires bouncing it down and quickly moving to the right in order to push the box to the left (or the upper left quadrant) Box 3 goes down, grab the coins and go through the red teleporter. Walk to the left side grabbing a coin along the way, and the one that is obtainable on the far left and up the eventual boulder trail.
Go back down and push the left boulder into the right one. The left boulder will now be on the red switch. You habve to go through the red gate grab the coin and get out. You'll notice boulder two is going through the blue and red teleporters and back onto the ice. That's why the coin is still there. A well timed boulder will smash all four boxes freeing Loof.
I have to go now. Really

I'll check back tomorrow and see if anyone has made it.
I appreciate all of your comments.

DisGolfer -- PM ....P L E A S E........ Thanks.

Tasha

Sorry, please disregard -- didn't see your spoiler until after I posted.

Hey Disco, instead of calling it a spoiler i think you should have called it ... essential information to even get started......
like most of the rest i could do the first lot of boxes and coins, but after that?????

This is a great level, my mind just boggles ( freezes and then has a fit and faints

) at the complexities of it. keep up the good work, will let you know sometime next year when i finally figure it out ( yes even WITH the spoiler )

I'm back at work.

MORE HINTS AHEAD

Rofgive typos. I'm in a hurry

Stinky has to do all of his business- including not to forget to go back and get the first coin- and exit through the white teleoprter before anyone can leave their respective generators.
To get Stinky to the white teleporter, follow the previous hints to get to the boulders. You must destroy the four boxes going around on the ice using the boulder on the right. You have to get the boulder on the right oing by using the boulder on the left. Be sure to grab the coin when the left boulder is on the red switch. If you didnt get the boxes the first try, you still have two more shots at it.

Hopefully you know have the coin below the red gate and are safely back in the playing field. The boulder on the left will now be positioned on the blue button for an upward push, BUT first push the boulder on the right back through the blue teleporter and back to either destroy any boxes remaining, but to really get positioned next to the other boulder for the next step. With both boulders now on Blue and Green buttons, go get the coin behind the blue and green gates.
Now push the boulder on the left up. Push the boulder on the right back through the blue teleporter for your final chance to get those wooden boxes. (The boxes must be destroyed to free Loof and to proceed.)
The boulder will roll back into place for Strinky to push it up.
Now you just walk up and get the frist two coins you can grab- but not that third one!!. Push the remaining boulder to the right and get ready for a weird little step. You are convinced you'll die, but somehow Stinky makes it safely.

I have to go teach my little Wonderlanders their ABC's I'll be back.

PS- I can finish this in 1:20- I'm convinced it can be done even faster

Okay - I have a sleeping bag, rations pack, 2-way radio, storm tent, oxygen mask and a print-out of the spoiler ...

I'm going in guys - I am entering the Discgolfer level

- please send a rescue team if no news in a week

Kazaa,
No First Aid Kit? You are very brave

Spoiler Hints Continued

We last left Stinky standing next to a boulder while three of his friends awaited his next move. The boulder- the one that you used to smash the boxes on the ice, to activate the green swiich and then sent back through the teleportrs to get back into positon so you could push it up to where it now is- must be pushed to the right, into the water, in order to crank up the boulder generator. The boulder generator will allow Qookie to eventually walk free, but more importantly builds a bridge for Stinky to finally end the majority of his responsibilities, and exit through the white teleporter. Getting across the bridge to then white teleporter takes a little timing and this is where you think you'll die, but Wonderland physics enable you to escape by the hair of your chinny chin chin. The key- after the generator spits out it's fourth ball get to that white teleporter fast because the fifth boulder will block your way. Loof Is now free to do his part.

More students arriving for math instruction- Gotta go, gotta teach
I'll be back

OH MY !, Oh me o my, Oh me o my o me o my

This was truly sensational !

I highly recommend trying this if you haven't already - it is extremely well put together. I've managed it in 1:17 but held my breath the whole time.
Excellent fun and extremely rewarding ... I did regret forgetting my first aid kit though - needed it many times

Dare I say ? .. more please ... just prepare your spoiler in advance .. better still, post it with the level

Superb ! .. Kazza

PS - I guarantee there is NO WAY i'd have completed the challenge without the clues

Kazaa,
You get 15 extra minutes of recess today. Good Work!

I really appreciate your comments.
I'm an egomaniac with low self-esteem so that helped me on both counts

Lillian · Post by **Lillian** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 8:59 pm

POP POP POP BLOODY POP POP POP in my ears for the last hour!!!!

YEEEEE-HAAAAAAAAAA!

What a brilliant level - well worthy of an inclusion in The Void! Like Kaz - I would never have completed this without help.

The men on this forum have the most strange brains

Way to go Lillie

You just helped me through the entire emotional spectrum.

I had just finished reading the Mothers Day thread, and was a bit teary-eyed as I opend up the PopPop PopPop thread.

Now, I have tears of laughter in my eyes.

Thanks Lillie
(and "the Cats")

WOOHOO !!
I finally did it, i had to follow thru and re-read the instructions several times before each move ( i misunderstood on the 2gates and coin bit

) but i have it now, you know the sad thing? im gonna miss the rythmic pop pop popping, at first i hated it but now it is kind of soothing, great level disco
