Hope you enjoy this one. It was inspired by a board game I played as a child.

Once again I am using Loirae's fabulous gridlock texture. Thanks again Loirae.

Allright Michelle, here's the deal...

I've got three buttons on the left covered, I've got the yellow boulder generator figured out, I've got the green button covered...I have one last section to tackle. It's taken two days (off and on) working on this but I will solve it!

Hey Bob,

The last section is easy--really just a short ride

I know you didn't solve it exactly as I had planned it, but solve it you did

I remember this game - my kids had it (it wasn't invented when I was a kid

) It looks great with Loirae's texture.

Like Bob I've been working on this for hours and hours (over several days). I've only got as far as covering all the buttons on the left (except the lowest conveyor button). Destroyed the mice there.

Got the boulder generator going, but the mouse wasn't trapped in the right place there. Got the green button covered and the mouse trapped nicely.

Can't get the conveyors to stop, so I can't get those coins.

Stymied - surprise surprise.

Hi Liz,

They have must have re-released this game because I know I am much older than your children! Anyway my intent in the level was that the mice/chompers be used to cover all the buttons. I had hoped that no chomper would be injured in the playing of this level.

Bob, however pointed out that there are other ways to solve it.

To trap the mouse on the upper conveyor button you have to use the yellow ball and control the chomper on the conveyor button to start and stop the balls so they end up in the right place. If you need a more detailed hint please pm me and I'll give you more

Oh ye of little faith

I felt your tears falling when informed that I had found a loop-hole and that saddened me so I went back and worked out the correct procedure to cover those left-side buttons (see fig. 1). I wondered what that prism was for!?

And I was so happy to complete this perplexing little level that I simply had to include a screenie just prior to exiting!

You do give us a workout with your levels and I for one applaud your efforts please keep it up and BTW...thanks,

That made me laugh!

Michelle, I usually can't complete your levels but I do enjoy trying.
Thanks!

Bob, Janet, Liz thanks so much for playing my levels. I'm glad you enjoy them.

Bob, I guess you deserve a special thanks for making the effort to complete the level as I had intended

Enjoyed the screen shot.

I really do enjoy making levels as well as playing them. Hearing your thoughts on my levels is also appreciated. I know I fall pretty short on making comments on the levels I play but it is a new year's resolution to try harder on that front. Of course new year's resolutions are something else upon which I often fall short

Hello Amnon,

Will you please provide a walthrough on the yellow generator section. I can get myself just below the first yellow sphere.

Will you please provide a walthrough on the yellow generator section. I can get myself just below the first yellow sphere.

Here:
1. Push sphere right into water - wait on top row until new spheres are generated and settled.
2. Go 2 places down, wait for sphere to arrive.
3. Push sphere up and quickly follow right (taking coin) and up. Pause for all to settle.
4. Go down for just about one second (not much less, not much more) - the chomper should be trapped.
5. Push sphere left, onto button.

Good luck with the rest!

Thanks, Amnon. After the yellow generator puzzle, all was smooth sailing.
