514LIZM - House Hunt:Art Deco Apartment

Join Qookie whilst she inspects an art deco apartment. Will she like it?

Hopefully this will be easier than the last stinker.

I'm using my Artdeco texture which has been used before. I've attached it here if you need it:

Hi Liz:

What is the secret to having more than two teleporters?

Nice level, thanks for the fun!

Hi LCD

There is some kind of rule that can be followed for using 3 teleporters, but to be honest I can't remember what it is.

With this level I put in the teleporters for decorative effect and then just played around to see what would work.

The right-most teleporter (other than the one entered) is used. If two teleporters are in the same, right-most column, then the bottom one is used.

Thanks Amnon.

Hey Liz,

Bob should be here with the green spheres! Will you please give me a hint as to where the two left spheres go? I'm assuming that the right two green spheres go

in the water down by the barrels?

[Edit] Thanks, Liz, for this challenging level. I finished this in the most convoluted way possible and without the bonus coins. I would love to know how others did the center room with the bottie and green spheres.

Yes, In the water above the barrels, then one of the left spheres blows the barrels and the other fills the water to get to those two coins at the top,

As I can remember, when overdosing on teleporters of the same color, ..

it becomes a LEFT-RIGHT logic, where anything entering a
"teleporter" pops into the very last one, ( that is bottommost-rightmost ).

If it's already the last one that you step on, then the next-to-last one is the one you'll next arrive at.

The Tiles in a game must be visualized as a linear array, they are in the same memory order as words on a page.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A Quic Diagram: (Imagine that A-D are teleports of the SAME color).

....A.....B.......
....C.....D......

When stepping on "A" it will take you straight to "D".
When stepping on "B" it will take you straight to "D".
When stepping on "C" it will take you straight to "D".
When stepping on "D" it will take you straight to "C".

A➔D, B➔D,
C➔D, D➔C

I'f I'm wrong about the teleport logic, please l'et me know.

I shall play this level soon. Thanks.

Andy - thanks for explaining in such a logical and illuminating way.
I've never thought of the squares of the game being in order like that. Of course it makes perfect sense. Easy to remember as well.

EDIT: I'm trying to learn how to record the level as a video and get it onto YouTube. Fingers crossed ...

Here's the video solution on YouTube:

Fun level.

I needed some help with the Kaboom!, but Qookie reached the exit in the end. Thanks!

P.S. Will you be making another Quest anytime soon? Pirate Quest and Coin Quest are among my favorite level collections.

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Tue Dec 18, 2012 1:39 pm

Well, shoot. I was doing everything just like the UTube walkthrough but I forgot about using the bottie to help with the timer. I kept trying to find something to cover that button!

Thanks for the great level, Liz.

Thanks yot yot5.

I would love to do another Quest if I got some inspiration for it because I do best if I have a story to carry me along. Hopefully I'll do another collection in 2013.

annedanner · Post by **annedanner** » Tue Dec 18, 2012 2:34 pm

Given that Patrick is coming out with something new in 2013, how about a quest around that?

L'Carpetron Dookmarriot 3 · Tue Dec 18, 2012 11:49 pm

I was only having trouble with the kaboom. I am sorry to admit this, but I had to look at the walkthrough to see how to get the yellow timer and where the green spheres went. Thanks!

Good idea Anne. Of course it means that I'd have to solve the new game myself before launching on an RTW interpretation of it.

I'm toying with the idea of doing another pirate series, or a Star Trek series.

LCD - glad you were able to finish the level. I usually need some help with your levels too!

I would love to see Star Wars. I've watched parts of Star Trek episodes, but it's not nearly as popular as Star Wars (and it's always fun to see a film or TV show you know in Wonderland style!).

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Wed Dec 19, 2012 3:21 pm

Star Wars! Now there's an idea. I remember seeing Episode IV (i.e. the first one) in the cinema donkey's years ago. I think my son has the boxed set of DVDs somewhere ...

Hmmm - that'd keep me going for a lo-o-o-o-o-n-n-n-n-g time.
I'll think about it over Christmas.

Thanks for the idea yot yot5!

That was a lot of fun and very creative! I don't think I would have got home without the walk-through so thanks for that!! Looking forward to more!!!!

I hate to say it but I checked out the video for help with the spheres

Thanks Liz, a fun one, except for the mean greens.

Bob! Don't say you've still got green sphere phobia!

Or 'The Hobbit', since I don't remember it in Coin Quest.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 7:46 am

Hi Sammy P

The Hobbit is a whole story which goes before Lord of the Rings (i.e. Coin Quest). It's being made into 3 films now, so it's a project for much later on.
