Time for a new level. Just your standard 'move the z-bots into position' gig.

I'm using my old 'Wharf' texture so if you need it, here it is. :D

What a fun frustrating level this was. Can't tell you how many times I had to start over from getting blasted, gated, botted but I was bound and determined to get that gold. Image and I did :D :D
Thanks for this ace puzzler :P :P

Bob! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
I've a good mind to set the Voodoo Lady on you!

I've been playing this for the last 2 hours, and I've died a gazillion times. :cry:
My hand aches, my head aches, and the air is as blue as the z-bots.
I've actually collected the last coin, only to be shot by the UFO!
Giving up for now. Will try another day. :wink:

For anyone else having trouble, the UFO is the first thing to go! :wink:

Thanks for that hint Bob! I'd been trying to get rid of the wretched thing without being shot myself, and just couldn't time it right. :roll:

Once I managed that bit, the rest of it fell into place - not exactly easily, but not too bad at all. AND much more fun! :D :D

Got my gold star now.

A great action level, and not nearly as difficult as I was making it! :wink: 8)

Started very dangerous but in the end those pesky Z-bots came in very handy.
Needed a while to get it sorted but I made it out in one piece after lots of tries.
Thanks for the fun, Bob :D

Holy moly Bobster; that was a wild ride. I learned a few valuable lessons here: 1. don't stand in one place for too long enjoying the scenery or you will get run over, shot, or gated 2. watch your step and 3. have a strong one before playing another one of Bob's levels

Good one Bob!!

:D :D :D Holy wharf Rat that was a sure fire humdinger of a fun challenge Bob, I think I maybe restarted fifty- sixty times, We it seemed like that much, Getting those bots to do my bidding was the part that took so long for me.
I've a good mind to set the Voodoo Lady on you!
Aye! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the level I very much liked the challenge of it. :D :D :D

Jeeze Bob you dirty rat you! Image

Talk about dangy dangerous! I thought you were a kind old sweet Canadian gent who took tea in the afternoon and played bowls on a Sunday! And there you are a dirty, dirty rat! :wink:

Sooper fun Bob - after numerous restarts I finally worked out the best moves and got the hell outta the madness! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Always a pleasure to play a Bobster level - many thanks! :D

Now, back to my knitting! :wink:

I've been working on this one off and on since you posted it. I knew what had to be done, but doing it was something else. Finally, I managed to stay alive long enough to gather all the coins and get the heck outta there. Thanks for the challenge and the fun, Bob! :D

Nothing standard about moving these zbots! :D I spent at least a non-stop hour on this (which is alot for me!), and I even got as close as exiting, only to be smooshed in the blue gate. Oigy, oigy! Those were some mean rats! :D

Thanks for the fun!

Ditto.....what everybody else said. I'd play for a bit here and there since you posted this, come close so many times only to do something stupid, naturally. Each time I said I'd beat it this time but noooooo.

Finally got it a min. a go. I enjoyed this Bob. Thanks for the fun and frustration.

I don't make a lot of levels so I do appreciate it very much if they give you a little frustration, but I learned a few years ago that if a level is so difficult that you can't solve it, people simply won't play it! And that's not the idea.

I'm glad you got it! :D

BTW, help is always at hand...assuming that Kiki is awake :lol:

I've been working on this one since ya posted it too. I see what needs to be done but I just can't get my timing right and the right order to get my boxes where I need em UGH....still go back to it occasionally to try and work it all out.

I love getting frustrated by you Bobster :wink:
