This level may seem ordinairy, but don't be an April fool.
It just might be the mother of all my stinkers.
It's constructed with Janet Galle's "Fenced" texture.
P.S. There is nothing hidden and no fake walls.

You're correct, Mark, whatever I expected from the generator to be, but THIS! (yes, I peeked in the editor)

I was hoping for *edited out by poster dude to avoid spoilers*
Back to thinking...

Just finished it, really easier than some of your thinker-stinkers when you know the generator.

Fantabulous!

Destroying some object took me lots of thinking though, and the solution turned out to be devastatingly simple.
I can only say...

I mean that I had to think a lot on how to destroy a certain object and the way was devastatingly simple, the level itself is not, kiki.
(Although it's still easier than some of Mark's thinker stinkers)

So you mean that you actually didn't design this level in the stinkerish way?
Look, no level can top the difficulty of Termite Dust, huh?!

I honestly never set out to make a level a stinker.
Challenging? Yes!
Want to give the player their money's worth... even if it's free.

My levels often become stinkers, when I keep on tweaking them.
I do this until it looks and
feels, and has only one solution.

It certainly was a big stinker and I also had to peek at the level editor. Even then it took many retries.
Thanks Mark for another cool level!

I am still working on this one Mark - it is one of those intriguing levels that keeps one gripped! I just hope that I am not doing the wrong thing from the off - should I kill both chomps please?
Back later I hope

Those nasty chomps? yea, don't let any of those ugly creatures stay alive - or they will eat you!

Here's a hint for anyone still stuck on this stinkeroo.
The generator does not produce anything made of wood, stone or plasma.

Well look at me - how proud am I for getting this one!
What a humdinger it was too! Soooo very clever and intricate as always Mark! You are such a fab puzzle maker!

I was so worried I didn't have enough thingies at the end - and luckily I took the you-know-what at the right time!
Going off now to watch my footie team on TV beat Seville in the UEFA Cup (I hope!). Hopefully solving this was my lucky omen!
Wonderful - many thanks!

Mark - this is a masterpiece!
I've spent ages on this one, gradually working out bit by bit,
but finally I had to resort to the Video. That bottom right corner bit to get the extra box had me stymied!
Excellent Maestro!
