I thought it was time to go back into the editor.

I don't know if it's easy or hard and I don't know how many ways there are to do it!

There's kind of a neat glitch in it that I like but it happens early and its been used before.

Yer a lil stinker

What's with that boulder I can't destroy hidden in never never land there? It's totally confoozling me

Gonna keep at er though.

What boulder?

Are you talking about the red sphere?

wonderfull · Post by **wonderfull** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 2:59 pm

Wow, Bob that was quite the workout!

I'm not sure that I did it as you intended, as Stinky kept running out of time with all the moat motoring he was doing. I finally did it with only 5 seconds to spare! Thanks Bob!

Holy Moatering Bob,
I finally seen the light!
I was deploying an item before its time, Thus not able to complete a construction job.

Loved your sphere's playing follow the leader.
Was the goober generator just for fun?
Thanks for the fun it is good to see a level from you.

What boulder?

I think Robyn is talking about the boulder blocking the right side of the red sphere generator, It's in never never land behind the trees.

I'm with wonderfull. I had exactly 5 seconds left, too. But only the last time. All the other times I ran out of time because I was doing a TON of extra running to the left.

Nice one!

Well it's definitely not easy.

bob roest wrote:I don't know how many ways there are to do it!

I only used three goobies, so I found one way.

Thanks for a challenging morning, Bob!

No, it's an easy way to the exit!

Sorry about the timer issue, I never play with the timer on so I never think about the time allowed! I'll try to remember for the future.

So Keeks didn't start the goob machine, Mark only used three goobers I had a feeling everyone would create their own path! As long as you get the gold, that's what counts!

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 7:34 pm

I've been working on this one for a while. I was able to get all of the generators going, but ran out of goobers. Mark, how did you use only three? May I have a hint, please?

Mark · Post by **Mark** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 9:51 pm

I didn't use any goobs to build a bridge.
And I just realized I only needed one goob to stop the conveyor.
Just clear a path with the others goobs for the spheres.

Finished! Thanks for the help Bob and Mark.

I used the green spheres to create a bridge instead of the goobies.

Oh major duh here. I didn't put anything on the conveyor button; I kept activating the timer switch instead...no wonder I was so exhausted and short on time. I knew I wasn't doing that right!!

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Mon Sep 10, 2007 11:49 pm

Ok here's my problem...

I too am using the green spheres to build the bridge to the travelator. I'm using goobies to build the bridge BUT can't seem to get the conveyor to stop with a goobie on it. I tried the trick that you use for regular buttons where you step on the timer then on and off the button and when the timer stops waa laa the gate is open, it doesn't seem to work with the conveyor button and timer though. I also keep ending up one goobie short for the bridge.

bob roest · Post by **bob roest** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 1:00 am

Robyn, put the goob in position, wait for the timer to cycle then push the goob up!

AS FOR THE REST OF YOU: How can you guys make this so hard

I thought for sure I would be getting nothing but "thanks for an easy one Bob!" I would make a video, but I don't know how, and Mark (who does know how to make video) didn't do it the way I intended!

My next level is just going to be a link to the editor!

I can't believe Keeks has done this 630 some odd times!

Well, speaking for myself; I seem to find a great thrill in taking the long way around, getting killed over and over again, tearing my hair out, frazzling my nerves, not to mention running the timer down to the last second, just to make life more interesting!

(either that of I'm just plain stoopid sometimes...you choose)!:lol:

Ditto, wonderfull. If it's obvious as to how to do everything, it's no fun! But...even if the designer thinks it's obvious, I can guarantee you that I will make it hard!

I love it when there's lots of interaction on the board around a level - I love the "Ah, shucks!", "Sheeshs", etc.

Keep them coming, Bob. I really enjoy your levels!!

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 1:10 pm

I still haven't finished this. Even with the several hints about the timer stopper. I don't really need the timer stopped I have found. I really need the goobie I'm using to stop it though.

Last night my son went to bed early cuz I was havin' a bit of a hissy fit over this level

Me thinks I'll just leave it alone for a bit and walk away quietly (oh sure, like I do anything quietly)

Bob I really do love your levels. And ya shouldn't care what goobers like me say or do to demolish your levels. It's all fun!!!

I begin to understand why you are no friend of green spheres, Bob

Needed ages to set up everything right. And then I needed two more tries to make it out in time.
Thanks for a fun challenge

Loirae · Post by **Loirae** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 9:03 pm

I used a few goobies and a few red spheres. The green spheres I just left for making new red ones cause I know how bob hates those greenies. And I did put the goobie on the button after running out of time using the timer.

Gen · Post by **Gen** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 11:32 pm

OK, I need help!

I can stop the conveyor, build the bridge and collect 6 of 7 coins, but have no idea how to get a bridge to the final coin and exit. Help Please.

wonderfull · Post by **wonderfull** » Tue Sep 11, 2007 11:41 pm

Gen;

I had to activate the goobie generator in the lower right corner in order to be able to exit. If you've built your green sphere bridge across to the very bottom, you can exit over a goobie bridge by the generator. (YOu have to either sink all the goobies to activate it or stick them to another goobie) I'm not sure how Kiki did it without using the goob generator.

Loirae · Post by **Loirae** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 12:08 am

Also, Gen, I don't know if you used stickies or greens or reds to get the red gate open. This works great if you used red spheres:

Finsih the transporter section that needs a red gate open by crunching red spheres. When the last set comes out, push the guiding sphere up to seat the other one sphere on the button, but don't push it all the way up. Just a little bit. Grab those transporter coins then...

Put a goobie on the conveyor button (tramp it over the wall, walk around, push it left. Follow Bob's hint on getting it to the button without the timer going). Then arrange the stickies so:
one catches a red boulder that comes down,
one catches it on the right when you can push it,
and one stops it along the stopped conveyor.

When you push the red phere down through the doorway, the one on the button will go down, but back up. When you push it down again into the water, the one on the button will fall into the water. This makes two new ones. Rinse and repeat.

Loirae wrote:Rinse and repeat.

The way this was put together in my head is as follows;

The goobers are there to create a bridge to the raft and to stop the conveyor so the red spheres will create another bridge for you. One goob goes on the stop button, when you're done rafting in the top section, come down and push it into the water and the goob machine gives you a pleasant walk to the exit.

Here's a map of the goober moves, just switch move 10 and 11, I got confused

sorry.

Loirae · Post by **Loirae** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 1:57 am

Interesting, Mr. Bob. It never occured to me to use the goobies there. When your level said I'd need 6 of them, I just always thought you meant to get to the exit gate. Huh! Now I'll have to try it your way.

Lillie · Post by **Lillie** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 1:55 pm

You lot are very funny!

Hey Bobster - welcome to the Loophole Club - I am sure I am the founder member and proud of it!

Well you will be happy to hear that I used all the goobies in the end - to either sink 'em or use them as stoppers or to goob them together in order to get the goobie gen started (thanks for telling us that it was a goobie gen Keeks!

). I used the reds for the button, the greens for the bridge to the travelator and also for a bridge to the goobie machine!

Great fun level Bobster - many thanks
