Quick start - you'll soon figure it out

I'm actually doing a series - any Brits on the board worked it out yet ?

Have fun

Hi Kaz. Very devious indeed with plenty of traps and misdirection, Had some items that I didn't use, But that is no doubt planned, Hence the title, For i sure was trying to do something that just wasn't cutting it, Great level and I look forward to the next in the series.

Took several tries on this one Kaz! Great level to work out after a scary beginning!

You got me at the start

The rest was a pleasant stroll home. Thanks

Oh, the start got me multiple times as I kept forgetting about it as I was figuring out the rest. Finally discovered the secret and make my way out. Thanks for the fun, Kaz!

I was making the ending of this so much harder than it was. Finally figured out what I was doing wrong and passed the finish line with gold. Great level.

This was quite a stinkeroo Kazzie - and extremely devious

Thanks for the little hint in the right direction - I'd have been there all day trying to sort Dawn out

Next level in the series will hopefully be called "The Fall of Grace"

Many thanks

I died more times than I can count, just forgetting to MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!, in the beginning!

Some good timing and moves needed to get this one done!

Thanks for the fun!

I can't even get past the beginning of this one "Big Sister"!

Any hints would be wonderful!

I'm OK with the beginning it's the end that has me tied in knots. Help pleeze, Kazzie

Spolier to order

Here goes ..

The devious bits are :-

1. The right and left hand "moveable" cannons cannot be moved - don't go there.
2. There are obvious false walls top left and by the opening near the prism, one of them you can't get into (and you don't need to)
3. There's a green boulder under the mushroom.
4. Top right - there is a conveyor timer switch
5. Right hand edge is a conveyor

If the clues aren't enough, here's the walkthrough

1. Press up PDQ else you get bouldered.
2. Fetch the coin out of the false wall top left of level, then go fetch the centre green cannon to destroy those wooden boxes. Push it into the false wall when done and collect rainbow coins on the bridge tiles.
3. Next is all to do with green boulder action bottom right - before collecting any top bonus coins, push the green boulder down and grab that bonus coin in the middle. A grey boulder will be delivered for the use of.
4. Fairly quickly .. push grey boulder to the left, step north to activate the hidden conveyor timer switch and then follow the boulder with the pink goop to act as a blocker for when the grey boulder comes back. Objective is to have grey boulder spinning round on the green timer switch.
5. Push green boulder down thru the open gate, another will fly back over the wall and land on the timer switch giving you just enough time to go collect the reflector.
6. Position reflector to blow up the barrels and remove some coins to allow the cannon fire thru. (Including the one in the false wall on the right)
7. You'll be fine from here

That was devious for sure. Had to take a peek at your hints to finish this one. It was tip #4 that made it all clear. I was on the right track, but things just not working like they should.
Thanks Kaz,

After reading your tips, Kazzie, I now know what was doing wrong. I was initially pushing the green boulder immediately down to the red button instead of doing it in two separate moves The way I was doing it the other green boulder was sitting right against the mushroom & I couldn't move it anywhere. OMG you really feel "dumb" when you can't see what's right in front of your face...DUH..DUH. This really was a fab level just wish I could have figured it out by myself. Great job

kaz and tasha,

i'm not being a clever clogs at all because your method of dealing with the boulders is safer (as in you can't go wrong) but also harder to work out.

i (not having the walkthough available lol ) collected all the coins before the green gate, then went back onto the green button, pushed the green boulder through the gate and onto the button as i ran, and had enough time to jump over the other green boulder and push the reflector down off the conveyor, then i just pushed the other green boulder down onto the trampoline and smashed it on the wall. i didn't use the sticky cube at all.

not that any of that matters of course

Dunc - take it from me, I'm gifted with making multiple solutions, I just never know I'm doing it - think my average is 2.4 different solutions per level - you play it how you like bud

I did it the same as dunc. Never occured to me to wait to take the coins. I tend to be greedy.

Liz Mayhew · Post by **Liz Mayhew** » Fri Jun 09, 2006 6:24 am

I've finally finished this little stinker Kaz!

Do you know, I couldn't see that there was a hollow wall above the starting cannon? That's the whole reason I couldn't get out of the first bit. Maybe I need glasses ...

Anyway it was another Kazzie gem. Thanks for the fun.

So that's the connection between all these levels: "Big Brother!"

Very, very devious of you, Kaz!

You wouldn't believe how many times I missed the obvious at the beginning.

Well maybe not so obvious.
Then I kept thinking the boulder was the key to popping the barrels.
I even found of way of pushing Mr. Goo down on the red button.
In the end, I didn't use the goo or push the boulder left at all.
Just grabbed the coins pushed green sphere down and followed it.
By the time I got down below, I the conveyor stopped so I could manuever the reflector off the conveyor. Phew!
I've been really struggling on your levels lately.

But this was a nice challenge!

Thank you, Buddy!

Kaz I put stuff in my levels that you don't even need, DOH! and I probably have tons of different ways to solve them.

Duiveltje · Post by **Duiveltje** » Sat Jul 01, 2006 8:13 am

Kaz it took my some tries to solve this one even with your hint I make the mistake with the green boulder.

But now it's done. phhhhhh

Thanks

Very devious indeed - finally made it, but...

I did not find the conveyor button, so I could not use the reflector and my solution was quite different.

Here is what I've done:

Once the way was clear of boxes, I pushed the sticky cube next to the red button (the green ball was pushed to the coin to make room for this maneuver), next I shot the plain boulder into that hole in the wall (not even realizing that it contained a conveyor button), next I pushed the green ball... and it landed 2 places from the red button, just next to the tramp and in line to be shot at the barrels, then the second green ball arrived and I just had to push it slightly and BANG.

Had I known about the conveyor button, combining both methods produces a new record - and no need for the green balls!
