New Level (adv) - The Death Boat

This is a variation of a level I did quite awhile ago but was never really happy with.

Use's Janet's 'jg21' texture, thanks!

Easier that it looked. I liked it. Thanks

You must be some kind of genius Annie! I think this is a stinker.

I keep restarting and hoping I'm going to be able to make some sense of it, but always ending up nowhere.

I have a glimmer of an idea which may work and requires very quick fingers ... off to try it now.

I remember the first version of this one Bob - Captain Liz and the Death Boat.

I could do that one then. I went back to take a look at it and of course I have no idea how to do it now.

Go and pick up the raft at the end of the jetty first then use the boulders and boxes to stop the conveyors.

I am surely not a genius. I was just lucky with this one. I kept getting blown to bits getting the bonus coins on the out side. It does take quick fingers in some parts. It was one of Bobs easier ones for me.

Except for placing one metal box on the right as a stopper for the boulder you really shouldn't need quick fingers anywhere and the red guy gets taken out by floating a prism back up top on the right side and then another prsim gets pushed on the gangplank and floated right one square.

Hope that helps.

I've tried over and over to stop the conveyors with boxes and boulders. Sadly the arrangement always crashes and smashes after only a few seconds, so I need mega quick fingers to make any moves.

EDIT: Well I finally made it! Needless to say I used a slightly different way than yours Bob!

I only used one boulder/box combo for one set of conveyors.
I used Qookie to step on the other conveyor timer as needed.
I didn't send any prisms on rafts 'cos I just couldn't see how that could work. Built a bridge instead.

Very enjoyable in spite of (or maybe because of) all my problems. Thanks Bob

Push the left boulder down, then left. Middle boulder down, then right. Push the left boulder down onto the ice, block its return with a metal box, once it goes back down again push the metal box down to the spot between the ice slides. The right boulder push down and block its return with the other box.

For the prisms, get the raft at the top, come down, push prism left, step back then left again, you'll need to destroy that prism to start the generator. Send one prism down the gangplank, follow it, then raft up, right and down, walk around and push the prism up, now raft left and up the gangplank again. Push another prism down the gangplank and onto the raft.

This was trail and error for me but with the hints I made it.
Ace work Bob as all your level are, thanks!

I can now do the boulder/box bit. Thanks Bob! I must be getting blinder in my old age not to have seen that one move!

As for the prisms - I'd been doing that from the start, but then how do you get the spirit to shoot them? The placed prisms don't line up with the reflector. That's why I ignored the rafts and ended up building a prism bridge.

I've got my gold star though, so I'm happy!

Hey Bob,

I outlived the death boat. Whew! I've never pushed so many prisms in my life! I'm sure there was another way to have done it a little more easily. Thanks for the level.
