I'm taking a breather from creating levels and Wonderland.
Until then, here's one designed by my alter ego, Brentnor.

Have fun

Nooooooooooo, Say it ain't so. I so look forward to all your levels, Oh well! I guess you have your reasons.

This level was a great challenge ifin I ever sawn one, At first i just stared

Like I do with all your levels at first glance,

Bit by bit I started to unravel the mystery of each room, Brilliant puzzlers all around. This type of level design in among my favourites. Bravo for this little gem and thanks for the great challenge Mark.

a truly fabulous level, it was hard to start with and gradually got harder

I seem to be stuck Mark.

I can't get the bottom coin in the top left area, I've tried pushing the keg in and quickly stepping down but I keep getting caught! Is this the desired route? Otherwise the keg blocks the coin and I can't see another way to get it.

Thanks,

Hi Bob,
Sounds like you're doing it correctly. Quickly push the keg left and go down one until it generates more. That's how I did it.

Thats how I did it too.

That's what I've been trying to do for days and days, it seems. but, I can't make the corner fast enough and I always get smacked by the newly generated keg. I push and run without pausing even a second and the game registers that I've got the coin, but I still die. Like it's tripping my heels as I exit the square.

And I even know what to do next to exit. But I can't.

Any advice?

EDIT: A little kookoo bird gave me the advice I sought. Got it finally. Brentnor, you stinker!

Ah-ha! Yes, it's all much clearer now, no need to scamper like a frightened deer at all.

Thanks for the little push in the right direction and a truly fun level to work out!

Sad to see you go, Mark, but glad to have my gold coin for this nice level.

Help to get started please

I'm not gone forever, just taking a break.

I have alot going on in my life right now with work.

First, don't cover the timer button with the boulder.

Use the two boulders on the far right to fill in the open-bridge of the NW garden.
Use the barrel as a guide to position the two boulders, and then push the barrel into the water above and collect the coin.
Use the boulder in the NW garden for the button puzzle in the SE garden.

I was doing it all wrong, no wonder I couldn't get anywhere! Thanks to your help about getting started I finally started working my way through! Had many restarts before I got to the end! At last, a gold star!

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 11:13 pm

Just wanted to say what a brilliant level this was. I played it and completed it the other day (thanks for the help on the start)! I was so pleased to work my way through the rest on my own!

Splendid puzzle - you are so clever Mr Mark The Magic Man! The TP/box/tramp section was truly marvellous

My favourite level of yours ever methinks - thanks so much for your cleverness Buddy

You tricky dicky!

I didn't fell for the timer covering trap -- because I fell for a similar trap on another level of yours.

Still took me a good while to find out how to start, THEN I saw your spoiler.

And for a longest time I was always smacked by a keg in the end, until I found how to get rid of this keg in a less obvious way.

A devil of a level, thanks!

Doesn't work for me. I tried it for ages but every time I am hit by the new generated keg

Hi, Lutz.

DON'T push the keg in the starting room in the water. Push it in the yellow teleporter and step down.

Lutz · Post by **Lutz** » Sun Sep 03, 2006 10:02 am

Thanks for the help, Mark and muzozavr

Finally I was able to finish this first class stinker. Thanks for an excellent level, Mark

Oh

that ending is giving me more grey hair than I like !

I tried to step down, to the side, I tried to push and pull, but no, still got killed by that keg

Thanks for the hints though, Mark. It really helped me getting started

Darned, I missed Mishas hint!

Salin · Post by **Salin** » Sun Sep 03, 2006 1:26 pm

NOW I feel silly

Maybe I need to start reading more carefully?

Made it hop with the gold, eventually

Thanks Mark, for another ace level.
