suggestion and comment

Out of countless custom levels I have finally completed close to 2500. Since the platinum edition came out it seems to me the levels are getting harder and busier and frustrating to me because I can't see the solutions on a lot of them. I'm not good with trampolines unless it's a kids level. Some levels seem unsolvable, some appear to be missing boxes when I know there should be an extra one there but I just can't find it or something. I'll probably go thru them again later on and come back in the forum and do a search but for now I think I'm burned out on tediuos levels.

Might I also make a suggestion that the 3D levels be put in a separate download for those who don't care for them along with test levels that have no exits. I really enjoy the custom content you all include in your levels, its wonderful and beautiful, I'm in awe of some of them. Some of the levels seem to run to slow to play though, jerky and uncontrolable.

I really enjoy playing wonderland but some of the new levels are frustrating.

I'm sorry if this hurts anyone's feelings but someone asked about opinions and criticism. I won't stop playing, I have my favorite level makers I always do first and later on when the work season for me is over and I have more time I'll try some of the others again and seek help to see what I'm doing wrong.

Don't feel alone Monica, there are a lot of levels I can't complete either . Yes the levels are harder since the platinum edition came out. I try to play them all but I do complete the ones I can. And that's is all one can do.

Play the ones you can and have fun. When I don't have any to play I might tackled the ones I couldn't complete.

I can also sympathize with you, Monica. I always go to certain level makers first because I know I can, hopefully, complete their puzzles. Then I start to concentrate on the other more difficult levels. Sometimes I spend upwards of 2 hours+++ trying to solve a certain puzzle, but only if I can see that I am moving forward within that puzzle -- if not I just plain "give up"!!

If I feel that I am making progress & just need a little push in the right direction I then I resort to reading the various posts regarding that level to see if there are any hints to solving it. If not, I will then ask for help, however, that becomes embarrassing because not too many others request assistance & that becomes even more frustrating because you think you are the only one that can't complete it & then you feel really "stupid". I know we shouldn't feel that way, but it's only human nature.

If all else fails I put those levels in my "Unable to Complete" file & work on them whenever time permits.

Having never made a level myself, I have nothing but praise for those who design all these marvellous puzzles especially the very intricate ones. I just have to face facts that some of them I will never complete. Not easy to accept, but that's life

It's so nice to know that I am not alone. I work about 5 mos. out of the year at some greenhouses not to mention having my own greenhouse and garden to contend with so once the season is over I'll have another go at them, I'll have more time to play and switch back and forth from the game to the board. I finally went back and played the original platinum levels I skipped. I was able to finish all but about 3, but then I had help from the forum, I do appreciate everyone here so much.

I very rarely write comments on the forum any more - moving into an RV and getting ready to do some traveling has,
and is - taking up all my time

However, I certainly do agree with the above statements. There are so many levels that I have not done,
and probably never will be able to complete

I am always so happy to see the abundance of Kid's levels - although I have a couple of those not finished yet,
but it maybe because I down-loaded them into the wrong folder

I'll always love Wonderland, and I appreciate the talents of the level makers so much.
I would never be able to do the same. I'm just hoping that one day they'll use up all their creative juices
and go back to the beginning, and if I'm not too old to see the pictures, I'll find some new levels to play

BTW, Poopsie - I love your Stinky Smilies.

Note to Patrick - if you;re reading this. This is Wonderland - shouldn't the Stinky Smilies be on the fron page?
We've used the dull old yellow ones so many times we've just about worn the paint off them

I agree with you Monica, you put in the words the way I cannot translate

them, it is difficult to put it in the right words, but I think you did it the way many people feel it, thank you for that

YES!!! the levels are harded. I had to take a break from the game
because the fun had gone right out of it. Either too many bits and
pieces or not enough. I still don't understand the glitches. I often
sat there wondering why people posted levels that obviously couldn't
be played. Having said that I've gone back thru some of the old ones
successfully and now feel ready to tackle the new ones. I still want a
redo buuton or a safety square tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you Monica!
Me too have my favorite levelmakers. It seems that some of the makers are doing their best to make impossible levels, and that is no fun at all! It`s just frustrating

That said, I always try to do them, and I could`nt be prouder if I actually can get through one once in awhile

Mussycat: I want to be able to save a level during it too!!!! It`s very annoying when you come to a sertain spot and get killed all the time, and then have to do the beginning all over again.

Still, I love wonderland, and can`t think of a life without it
