In this adventure, its the brains you need. Its a tough puzzle to think but there is no danger to the player! It requires the correct use of boxes 8)

Difficulty: 3/5

What about dehydration? :(

No luck so far - are you sure that this is solvable (no hints please!)?

I'm liking all of the returning that is happening. I haven't played this (yet).

Well, you put first 3 boxes thru yellow telep to blue and then 1 to indigo. Then, use the blocks there to build bridges across the indigo telp.
Then, you collect coins up and use more blocks for down
Then bring boxes from red telep to the yellow and collect the coin up there!

We have some agreements here, Drago:

First, "no hints" means NO HINTS!

Second, if you must post a hint, then you should do it with a colour close to the background, usually #FAFAFA, eg.

Highlight the following for the hint: [color=#FAFAFA]Hint goes here...[/color]

This way, only those who really want to see the hint see it - by passing over it with the mouse with the left click pressed.

Forunately this time, your hint does not help - I've already done that, but there are simply not enough boxes: there are enough boxes to take all coins, but then there are no boxes (2 needed) for reversing the direction of the blue teleporter in order to head up on the ice towards the exit.

So, I must continue trying - so long as you promise me that you have done this level successfully: that's all I asked, just a YES or a NO, because your original first level was not solvable. Still no hints please, and if other people ask for them, please use the above form to make them invisible for others.

Ouch.
Anyway, I'm stuck too. Please don't post impossible levels.
Everyone does it (I did it on "Refection at its finest" twice!), but try to always test your levels before posting them!

Aside from getting stuck at the blue teleporter, I'm really clueless on how to redirect those boxes near the cyan teleporters in the bottom left corner. Sure, I can use one box from the top, but that won't work in the long run...

EDIT: OK, so I can collect all coins EXCEPT the one in the bottom left corner with FOUR boxes remaining on the right side.

As Amnon says, I need two of them to redirect myself at the blue teleporter.

BUT: I need THREE of them just to get that coin in the bottom left corner. Leaving only one box spare.

I could do it with two if I could block the top side of the bottom yellow TP and then push another box through that... BUT: then I can no longer get back. If I try to push that box through the blue TP and follow, it hits the conveyor and kills me.

:?

EDIT 2: After trying a tricky alternate route (build the bridge to the red teleporter at the bottom) and coming up with even less boxes, I'm pretty sure there is some sort of a mistake in this level. I won't believe it's solvable until the author proves otherwise.

Exactly, I also tried all that.

P.S. Muzo, have you tried "Burnout Cave" - it also looks impossible, but unlike this one, it is!

No, I haven't. I just tried this one to see if it's as impossible as you claimed it to be -- looks like it is...
Right now my time is very short and filled with school owning me hard for having to skip two months due to sickness. What's worse is that those months were February/March and our school ends in May. I have to do everything I can to not "epic fail" due to the simply massive amounts of tests and assignments that I have to write.

I meant "this one IS possible" - quite a challenge though.

As for the school thing, it hasn't crossed my mind - so any years I tend to forget, do these things still exist? :roll:

SORRY!
Its solvable till the blue teleporter!
Then... this new version

Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 7:24 am
by Amnon
OK, now this new version is working and quite easy - in fact I have 2 boxes left unused.

With my stupid box glitch thingy, I thought I could try the impossible version with it. No luck, however. There ends up being a box that gets in my way and a box that goes in the water where I don't need it. :|

Forgot to comment back then... also did the possible version with two boxes remaining...

2 boxes remaining?
That's a good solution as well
