New Adventure: Z-Bots 2

Post by Fluffshery » Sun Mar 09, 2014 2:34 am

This is kind of a weird adventure with a really ugly-looking spring puzzle, but I feel it's a decent adventure. Not really a sequel to my other Z-Bots level, it just has the same texture.

This is another really clever one! I've wondered about the plausibility of the spring-puzzle you've got here, it's cool to see it in action. 8)

Having said that I can't figure out for the life of me how to get gold, though I do have a hunch... :P

Thanks! :D Getting gold is something you have to set up at the beggining, that's all I'll say for now. :wink:

Hm. I don't really know what to say for this one.
I felt that this was a decent adventure. The reason why I say it was "decent" is because it could have been much better. I got GOLD without using the Moobot (and the blue suction tube), without using the yellow gate/key and without using the Rainbow Teleporters. ;)
Hope you don't take offence at this. Actually I sometimes doubt the legitimacy of my reviews, since I haven't even created an adventure yet. I'm planning to do a pseudo-adventure/tutorial on the Flash Without Walls exploit. (see it's not even a real adventure) :cry:

I found this very baffling, indeed!

I couldn't figure out when things went where; I still couldn't get gold on this, honestly.

Though, honestly, I think I know a way I could do it, so I'll probably be testing that in time of this post.

Thanks for such an unusual adventure! :D

Oops! Nope, can't figure it out.

P.S. I felt really happy obliterating the barrels. :mrgreen:

I don't, I'm just curious how you did it. Could you post your solution to how you avoided some of the parts?

Thank you for the review! Do you want a hint on getting gold?

I did too. I always enjoy using POW!

Pow and Pop are so simple, and yet so useful; and, in many cases, fun.

Never underestimate the power of Pop.
(I read somebody doing so somewhere in the tricky puzzles topic)

Of course. :oops:
1. Obtain blink and spring yourself westward
2. Use the star trail to press the green button and take the green keycard. (I really liked this clever puzzle).
3. Rearrange the springs so it points eastward. Send the star trail to a dead end, so that a bridge is formed, making the red and yellow gate unnecessary
4. Blink onto Pow charger, and destroy all barrels. Press the orange, then red diamond button.
5. Take the suction tube and fly toward the area with Pop. Eliminate the Zapbot and barrel.
6. Collect Pop and pop the bridge button. Collect 2 blink charges and pink keycard
7. Open the green gate, and blink into the button near the gem. Blink to the star.

Wow, I'm impressed. I never would've gotten that. Nice job! :D

Just beating this adventure was simple enough. However, getting Gold took some doing. I really enjoyed this one. Amazing work! :D

This reminds me. Would someone be willing to post their solution here? Cos my solution omits many elements present in this level.

Sure! Here's my solution, although I also ended up not using a few things.
1. Obtain Blink.
2. Blink to the Pow charger.
3. Destroy all barrels except the one on the southwest tile adjacent to the Pow charger.
4. Press red and orange buttons.
5. Destroy the Zapbot using Pow.
6. Blink to the Pop charger.
7. Use the yellow keycard to open the yellow gate.
8. Use the star trail to press the green button.
9. Collect the purple keycard. Leave the nearby Blink charger uncollected for now.
10. Use Pop on the white Moobot to get it onto the indigo button.
11. Recharge with Pow.
12. Destroy the barrels in the room with the star.
13. Collect the last remaining Blink charger.
14. Use Blink to obtain the gem.
15. Collect the star.

Oh. That's another interesting alternate solution. Thanks!
