New Level -- Blocked Out

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Wed May 28, 2008 2:56 am

No, it's not an account management mistake, it's just that I've got inspired by a very weird levelstyle (A LOT of exits, but only one of them reachable, and only by very creative thinking) for a different game and made this.
I can tell you: cramming a level with many exits in 14x14 is no joke.
You don't need to collect any coins, just get to any exit...

I personally don't think it is THAT difficult per se, but there is definitely more than you might think.

EDIT: Please download the new version of the level. (the one with the C in the file name) It fixes two embarassing and one small shortcuts. The old version is purely for historical purposes.

It wasn't as difficult as I expected so I was wondering if I maybe took the wrong exit

Edit: There are at least 2 exits reachable

Got this on my first try. (Yay!)

I took the top exit.

Your comments made me go slightly paranoid, so I've scoured my level for shortcuts and found TWO. Two bad embarrasing shortcuts.
Please redownload it from the first post. No easy way out now.

Played both versions and I always took the top right exit.
It was a bit more work and puzzling in the updated version though

Thanks for the fun, Muzozavr

Lutz has found another way to get into a wrong exit, which is very close to the actual solution, so you shouldn't have real trouble if you've solved the "A" version.
However, for reasons of "solution neatness" please download version "B".
Sorry for any inconviniences.

Yes in the updated version I only see one possibility and not quite easy, so I hope you're not paranoid anymore

Thanks for double fun.

Edit: I forgot to refresh Internet Explorer. Now I'm gonna try B. Fortunately there are 26 letters

Edit2: Thanks for triple fun.

B was indeed much more difficult but thanks to your comment I found the right exit,

I mean the (top) left.

Ready for C now

If you've exited the

top left exit (the one you block with a box in the beginning)

it means you've solved the puzzle correctly.
There's only one way to get to that exit.

Played it the intended way now. Careful planning needed

But it's still possible to exit in the upper right

Dammit, version C? That's a record for me. I will try to make C sooner. For those who've done it the intended way, you won't notice the difference.

Yes you're right! Thanks

So now plan C is coming?

Damn you, Lutz! I've just made all the boxes of that area metal.

Let's hope this is the final one.

You only need to add a C to the file name

Edit: No it's the original. Never mind

BTW the other one is quite difficult

Actually I've accidently uploaded the original twice. Now everything is correct.
By the "other one", do you mean "Mind Trip"?

Muz, I need help. The B version is driving me nuts! How oh how do I do it?

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Thu May 29, 2008 8:04 am

In B version it's actually still possible to exit in the upper right, but I won't tell how, as C will then drive you nuts again.

It's actually pretty obvious once you deprive the level of fake exits and other such red herrings.

Think about this: why the level has a CANNON and a PRISM generator, when NO CANNON and a BOX generator would have seemingly accomplished the same job?
Think about it.

If you still can't do it:

The exit you need is the very first exit -- the one you block with a box in the very beginning!

Well, I did "B" just as you would do "C", so I still need to find how to exit on the top-right of "B": doesn't look easy...

Amnon · Post by **Amnon** » Sat May 31, 2008 1:43 pm

OK, it is hard indeed, but I can witness that it IS possible to exit through the top-right exit of "B".

That's what I wrote 3 days ago...
