Finally sorted the start out and it only took about ten restarts, once I got rid of that mother fun loving hero kilter I was on my way to sorting out the rest of the level then onto the exit and thank goodness for plasma cubes.
Thanks for the fun Bob. :D :D :D

PS - Oh sure here I thought I was first poster and Cathy sneaks in under the wire. :roll: :lol:

Shoot! I thought I had it, then I found out I was doing something wrong and....and....I'll be back! Hilarious beginning. I had no idea what to do! :lol: I tried to move out of the way and kept doing the bump with the coily. :roll: :lol:

What are you trying to do with my brain, Bob???

I must be doing the beginning wrong, cos there's noone there to collect the coins around the exit :shock:
I'll just go back to the drawingboard :lol:

EDIT: Nope, no spirit to the rescue. For some reason there's a UFO in between those white gates :?
Hint please?

Once you step on the white button, those coins will be taken care of. :wink:

No Bob, that's just it, they don't, cos by then the spirit is gone and replaced with a UFO.

Here is what I do Inger.
With a quick double move push the sphere and the box left then stand clear.
A sphere will kill the mother ship.
:D :D :D

Ah, thanks Keeks :lol:

EDIT: That did the trick :lol: :lol:
I don't know if I did the white button as the rest of you, but it doesn't matter, cos I got my gold.
Thanks Bob :lol:

I kept doing the sphere and metal box the wrong way at the beginning then was caught short in the end. Fun level, Bob. Thanks!

That's what I think I'm doing wrong!
First I was pushing the blue sphere left and stayed inside the steel crate until the hole was full, then used the 2 steel crates to fill the water in the zbot room, but that wasn't working so next I tried pushing the blue sphere left and quickly pushing the steel left to fill the hole. But I still don't see how to get something rolling over the 2 timers.
I'm not supposed to keep the zbot alive....am I?

EDIT: Wait...I just thought of something! Be back!
DBL. EDIT!!! YIPPEEEE!!! :lol: :lol: Got it all! I was wondering what the plasma cube was for and now I know. Great tricks in there Bob and Thanks for the fun! Love it! :D :D

The 2nd of yours today I finished :shock: :lol:
Needed some time to learn how to do the bottie room and those blue spheres caused me many restarts :twisted:
I didn't need to pass through the red gate, but it looked great exactly where you placed it :lol:
Greta level, thanks for the fun :D

Yes, I see how that's possible. :wink: Very clever. :D

What was the ice cube for? I just pushed it out of the way.

The ice cube goes to the right of the lower blue tp so you can tramp into the white tp without hitting the keg and exit safely.

Wow, that never accured to me :lol: :lol: :lol: I did it so that I still had that one step tile to exit from :lol:
I know you hate it when we point out loopers, sorry Bob.

Okay, then what did you do with the z-bot?
I know you hate it when we point out loopers, sorry Bob.
I don't hate it. Lots of levels have loopholes but some people tend to be a little more smug about pointing them out. Fortunately I haven't had to hear from those particular players for awhile now.

And I still want to know what happened to my z-bot! :lol:

That's what I'd like to know! :lol: I sent him to zbot heaven and used the plasma cube to help me jump to the tp. Just as you intended. :D :D

I don't remember what I ended up doing with the z-bot :shock: Sorry I'm such a dork :oops: :wink:
I'll try it again later to see if I can do it again


EDIT: I kept him alive until I used the TP. Avoiding him by standing on the TP, and slide the ice when he passed after I grabbed the last coin.

I left him circling. You can use the white TP to let him pass as long as the exit gates are closed.
He just died at the end. I jumped to the break tile, exited, and then he drowned :twisted:

I did use the ice cube correctly 8) :lol:

:D Fun level! I needed Kiki's spoiler because I didn't know it was supposed to kill the UFO, but then I saw no way to get the timer going. Very interesting to read about all those different ways, but that's making it confusing to me to solve the level though.

Thanks for the fun! :D :D :D
