New Level -- Lateral Thinking

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 7:30 pm

Am I less rusty than I thought?

I started with an originally very simple concept (at first it involved a cannon, but ultimately it wasn't even necessary, so I removed it) and then the level got more complicated than I ever thought it would be.

There is one very difficult timing move in this level, which was needed to make the rest of the design work. Otherwise, things wouldn't work properly.

There are no "new" tricks in this level, but the solution is far less obvious than you may think at first...

So, maybe I should just start basing levels around existing concepts, and complexity will soon "build itself"... as it did here.

EDIT: So apparently I'm stupid and missed a more obvious unintended way through the level. After Marinus helpfully provided me a screen shot, I realized how to probably close it. If you've already downloaded the level, please download version "A". It has a blue shadow stinker in such a spot as to attempt to prevent this.

Gee, of all your levels that I've played, I've never completed one!

I feel like I'm missing something very signifigant...

Just noticed that one of the objects is superfluous:

It is possible to complete this games even if the box two places down from Stinky was not there!

Amnon, what did you put in the water near the green teleporter? The barrel? Then you've found an unintended way...

EDIT: Version A uploaded in the first post, please check it out now.

Yes, version A did the trick - now, if I value my life, I need to use all the objects.

And if you don't? Can you please elaborate per PM?

Marinus has already found another way for the "A" version, so I'm thinking on how to close it... but I am not sure.

Fun and easy after I figured out which way to start.

Thanks

Fun level Muzo!

I never thought to use the keg for anything but what I believe is the intended purpose but I can see how the other method would certainly work.

Thanks,
