I've been working very (very) late on my level editing skills - here's the first level that I think actually worked out quite well.
It's a box puzzle level with a teeny tiny timing element. And a big bang!
Cheers!

Hi Bruce! What a gorgeous level! I must say, you've got me with this one. I managed to finish the level with 3310, but was able to get only one of the bonuses -- I just can't figure out yet how to get the second one. I'm going to keep trying tho! Pretty tricky! That teeny tiny timing element you mention can make a big difference in the results. Now if I can only figure out how to end up with enough stuff in the right places to get both bonus coins. 
Yes, I finally did. Good puzzle! With the additional bonus coin I ended up with 3610. I still find it difficult to make the elements in this level work out correctly, but if I keep trying I can finally succeed. I haven't really got the timing down, so even tho I know what I need to do I may have to do it 20 times to get it right.
Hope you're working on some more levels -- or that you will, once you finish RTW!

SPOILER... THIS POST CONTAINS HINTS TOWARD THE SOLUTION
That sounds more complicated than what I do... maybe we have different solutions? My way of solving it first depends on blowing up the four boxes (that's the timing element) with the Big Bang by rolling one boulder into the Kabooms. To get the bonus points I just have to pick the right moment to turn off the conveyor belt. If memory serves, I roll the second boulder (which destroys one more box, both boulders are now at rest at the gates), then turn off the conveyor. Now you can reach the second Bonus using the two Boulders (once the exit gates are gone!). Is this how you did it?

Well, I wasn't going to say, since as far as I can determine we don't have spoiler coverage in this forum. But since you've said how you do it....
SPOILER COMING for anyone who doesn't want to know...
OK, I rolled the first boulder down the ramp, taking out the Kabooms and the inside row of four boxes. The boulder also takes out one more box. So now I have five boxes left, and need all of them. Then, after moving the box that the second boulder would crush, I rolled it. Then I turned off the ramp, got the coins and then got the bonus points. (The first time I did this I didn't think about moving that box, which was why I couldn't get both bonus coins.)
What do you mean when you say you have to pick the right moment to turn off the conveyor belt? When are you turning it off?
What's taking me so long is the unpredictability of what happens when I roll that first boulder. Sometimes I lose the Kabooms and the boulder but all the boxes remain, and sometimes I lose the Kabooms but the boxes don't break. Then the boulder keeps rolling and takes out two boxes, leaving a block of boxes that Stinky can't move. I can't get the timing right so I can get predictable results. (But then, if you've read my posts concerning my woes with walking the Kaboom, you know I'm handicapped when it comes to timing...)

I misunderstood you - we actually have the same solution. But I don't have any trouble picking the right time to roll the first boulder (I wait until the line of Kabooms has almost reached the bottom - does it every time).Dianna wrote:What do you mean when you say you have to pick the right moment to turn off the conveyor belt?

I look forward to more from you in the future!
