i'm sorry this is necessary, but you lot really are too clever for my own good
this really really can only be done the sneaky way i intended.
i hope hope hope hope!!!!!
course, if you've already done it the way it was intended, you'll be more than a bit bored of it by now, but here goes anyway.

Did it excactly like the one before this one - I used 2 boulders, 2 metal boxes, and 1 wooden box
Maybe you should just go ahead and tell us how you want your next one soulved......
Don´t worry - I´m sure you will get us with your next sneaky level

i give in
ok, i'll come clean, the supposed point of the level was that you couldn't solve it at all by using the boxes and boulders and barrels. i tried to put just enough of them in to lead you down the wrong path so that you'd come up just short but you'd still believe it was possible. but nooooooooo, you lot kept finding clever solutions
my idea was that you could get 3 of our buddies to the exit very easily, but the last one would seem impossible after a few attempts moving boxes and boulders around. in fact there's a route to the exit using the trampolines, 12 of them to be precise, hence the title of the level. starting with loof you go up, and then it's just a matter of having a look first and counting the squares. it's not actually difficult at all, but my hope was that it would look so unlikely that you wouldn't even look properly for a trampoline route

you can't do the second one like this because i sneakily moved the last trampoline
the biggest problem i had is that i couldn't work out how to remove boxes altogether. that's why i simply didn't remove a box from the original version
ah well, at least you seemed to have enjoyed them
and next time i decide to have a go at a level and i get stuck with something as simple as removing a box, i'll bloody well ask!

Oh Dunkin Donuts - don't be sad - I am ALWAYS making HUGE boo boo's with my levels. Even Mark edits most of his about 300 time too

I thought they were all great levels - and for your first levels too - brilliant!!! Don't dare give up on it - you already have the makings of a right tricky stinker level maker!
I'd love to know the trampoline route - I tried that for ages and didn't see any possible route at all! Even had my hubby trying it last night!

don't worry i won't give up, i just need to come up with another idea.
as for the trampoline route, i find the best way to do them is with a pen and paper, i just count one square, then look where i can bounce with 2, then 3 etc etc.
you start with loof, and totally from memory i think it's U L R D L U D R L R U L , i feel as if i can do it in my head i did it that many times
ETA oops that's 13, (or it was!), i put an extra U at the start

, it's right now

I did this the same way I did all the others.

but I apprecitate your solution so I can try to do it the way you planned. I love a good trampoline maze.
