This was inspired by Amadeus. It's landscaped with Popo's popular wintersnow texture.
Enjoy!

Didn't actually play the level for now, but that cracked me up:

This was inspired by Amadeus.

Inspired by whom?

The groundwork for "Winter Isle" was taken from an Amadeus level I posted two years ago.
I bet you remember the original title.

Mark, I LOVE this one. Nope, no gold star YET! I got the two spheres on some buttons (right ones or not

), but kinda just standing there, tapping my foot now....................I think I can, I think I can, I think I can..........................

...................be back later

Loved the set up for the spheres, with alot of your levels it helps to go against the grain than with it. The end took nerves of steel, Great puzzle Mark thanks!

Just played this level -- it's "Tiny Isle" reworked -- and guess what -- I can't do any of them!

Just can't think of ANYTHING. A hint, please, you master of deception?

I like your 'hurry bunny' move near the end.

Fun pushing, thanks Mark!

You are correct. I knew you would figure it out!

Hint for Tiny Isle:
It relies on a popular glitch that I used recently in The Jumping Bean.

Hint for Winter Isle:
Navigate the spheres to the white & purple buttons.
Be sure to save the coin at the top right for last.

I'll let you know ho the things are going. Right now:

Tiny Isle -- WHAT?! Do you mean I fell for that AGAIN?!

Winter Isle -- will try.

Excellent Level, sir!!! I was stumped- and I thought there's NO WAY that can be the right move- and it worked.... I did that all the way to the gold!

thanks for a puzzle I could actually solve, Mark!!!

Fun level Mark. Took some experimenting with the spheres, but got it in not too many tries. Thanks!

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 11:24 pm

I've tried this all day long. Tried one thing, got up, vacuumed, tried another thing, got up, dusted, tried another, got up, laundry, tried another.........anyway, my house is spotless.

Before I start reshingling my roof, I'm gonna break down and ask.....I guess I'm just not seeing it (thought I was good at sphere levels

) I can't see how I can get the sphere off the blue button (via the cyan timer) without getting either Stinky or the sphere, smashed or trapped in the blue gate. Am I thinking wrong in trying to do that, or is there a way?

Little hint via PM would be great. Thanks!

Oh my, Mark, I got the PM and I did that part, but I still can't do it. Does that barrel go in the top water hole or the one down at the bottom? Then how do I..........see, this is why I don't ask for help a lot.

I'm hopeless. This level is so pretty, there's a street lamp and a snowman

, and I am loving trying to figure it out all day, but there comes a time when I must say: "I need more help!" Sorry

please!

The barrel goes in the bottom water hole. Don't worry about the top one.
If you collect the top-right coin last, everything will fall into place... literally.

Important Bulletin: On Dec. 3, 2007, at exactly 8:45 a.m., Dizzy completed 'Winter Isle'.

I was kinda like Angi. I thought about doing that earlier, but KNEW it was too short of an ice patch. Wrong again!

And if you hadn't posted a couple of hints already, I wouldn't have saved those coins for last. VERY COOL Mark.

THANKS for the PM's and for the FUN!!!!

I'm still working on this, just not fast enough to get the second sphere out without breaking it.

I know what I want to do it's just the getting there that I'm still strugglin on. Be back later

Hi Cathy, It's not being fast enough, it's rolling the sphere in the opposite direction... down.

jcvalcar2 · Post by **jcvalcar2** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 3:33 pm

I did roll the sphere down but timed it so that I left one behind the gate otherwise I was smashing it. I must not be doing it your way.

Roll the top sphere U-L-D-L-D-R.
Step on cyan button and quickly push the same sphere down.
Now the right sphere will clear the cyan gate.

Roll the right sphere L-D-L-U-R onto the pink button,
Roll the left sphere up and then right onto the pink button.

Collect the coin beside the pink gate.
Turn the barrel around and slide it into the ditch.
Collect the coin above the bridge in the NE area.
Quickly push the sphere up and collect the last coin.

Hey Mark,

This was a fun level to figure out. I was glad to see the walkthrough, though, because I was having problems figuring out the end.

Thanks for the fun.

Bob, I'm amazed that you can figure out Mark's levels without help!!

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Wed Dec 05, 2007 4:41 pm

I was doing it all right up to that very last move.

Just couldn't see how to get round that, so thanks for the help Mark.

A beautifully wintry puzzle.

You know I always love these little challenging ditties. I got it with no help, but it sure dones take nerves of steel for the last part.

Thanks!
