New Level: Orbs Galore

[John925]

I decided to start aiming my level skills at the "puzzle" area. So, here's my first "giant puzzle"

Yes, I do know that puzzle has been in almost every one of my levels... BUT, I wanted to focus on more of the complex ones.

Please, give hints on how to make a better puzzle level.

EDIT: Sorry about the views vs. downloads thing.
I set the page on auto reload.

Excellent sphere puzzles.
Needed the longest time to finish the red ones.
I enjoyed it very much, thanks

Whoa, I be squisheded! I can't get this first area fer nuttin'

Gonna keep tryin' though.

[Liz Mayhew]

I got out of the first area only one time, then wiped out!

Do you think I can remember what I did with those spheres?

Back later, much later ...

[John925]

First Stinky pushes the spheres left, then up.
After that Loof pushes them right.
Then Peegue pushes them left. The spheres will go into the red teleporter and fill up the water in the red transport.

Erm John, I think we probably know the principle of the thing, which is what you put in your spoiler ... but some of us dunderheads may need a bit more help than that.

E.G. Stinky pushes spheres up, Peegue pushes spheres right, etc ...

[rescuefire]

Oh my gosh.....I was trying to get spheres through every one of the TP's...now I see that I don't need to do that. DUH!

So I got through red, now I got to the next area and have both buttons covered.....yellow is making me crazy...I'll keep a tryin'

Thanks for the great hint on the reds! I may need that for the yellows too LOL

My spoiler is now just the set of basic directions.

Hi John
Liz is right on the money here John I tried it without reading any posts, then tried your "spoiler". Sorry, no go. I will check later to see if you update your spoiler as I am intrigued.

Thank you
Becky

[John925]

Okay, I modified it again.

If you need any more I will make a video spoiler.

John this was an excellent puzzle. I like spherepuzzles and thought yours required some interesting movements to get them where they belonged.

For those of you having problems a general sphere hint is to remember that if one sphere is in motion, it's direction will not be altered by moving another sphere of the same color. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for a fun challenge, John

Well there are just some things that have to wait I guess.

John thank you for the challenge and for updating your spoiler. Its probably certain things my brain simply does not recognise. I did try this level again, keeping in mind what Michelle has said about the orbs. (but as they say, I just cant wrap my head around the way this one is set up).
So for now, I will simply have to try another level of yours and leave this one for the others.

Thanks again
Becky

Video spoiler time

EDIT: Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/v/m7s2ajaTS1s

Not a high quality masterpiece or anything, just a spoiler.

[John925]

So, does the spoiler help... or does it not work :S

I didn't have any problems with the red spheres and finally figured out the yellow. Got peeque over to the blue and the travelators. But got confused. Will give it another go later on, haven't given up. Your video never loaded. maybe you should get with Mark and check out the site he uses for his video.

Well, went back and gave it another go and after a bit of help from his friends Peeque got all the blue spheres set on their buttons and got everyone home free. This is a lot easier than it looks. Nice puzzle to figure out John.
