Title: Colour Wise
Post by: .M.M. on Thu 31/07/2008 14:47:03
Yes, it is really hard to describe how to finish this game, but maybe someone...? ::)
I´m stuck in 6th level in story mode (Toll bridge) but I can´t solve it! I tried almost everything- without any effect.

And guh, I'm stuck in level 20: Regular. I've tried every combination I could imagine, but the closest I've gotten was having the correct colour and being 4 places away with only 2 of those retread-powerups... :(

During the beta testing of CW, when I saw "CodeJunkie" as level creator I started crying. Ok, first, subtle, hint

Spoiler
Dont let the shape of the level fool you!
[close]

Second, not so subtle hint

Spoiler
The level is made by four "squares". To solve it you have to enter in only one of them.
[close]

Third hint:

Spoiler
the square you need to enter is the rightmost one.
[close]

Hope that helps, if not post again!

Unbelievable, but that did the trick. I was going "This doesn't change anything! I'll never get it!" and then I found the solution.

Er... "Starship Poseidon", in the "Clever Hacks" expansion... any hints?
Title: Re: Colour Wise

Well, I'm pretty sure you realise

Spoiler
the first thing to do is to turn YELLOW
[close]

Then let me just say that

Spoiler
you need just 3 out of the 4 blocks (after the yellow gates) to complete the level.
[close]

If you want that straight

Spoiler
turn yellow, merge with the two cubes (first the leftmost one), take only one reverse earthquake and go back home to merge one more time and win the game!

Congratulations, Misters Bicilotti + Mazoliin. The combined force of your intellectual powers (in the form of level 33 - Space) have overcome me and I yield.

I do not know how many times I have tried this level, it is somewhere between "A lot" and "F#$king heaps". What I do know is that a solution is not apparent, nor is it forthcoming. This frustrates me.

I can get through the part that requires a cubecraft of either yellow or red hue to bypass with my lovely yellow cubecraft, however once passing this barrier seem unable to combine the 3 blocks you have provided me with in a manner that leaves my cubecraft pink in hue, as the level seems to require.

I have searched for an alternate manner to bypass this barrier - namely attempting to bypass it in a cubecraft of red hue rather than yellow but remain unable to achieve this.

Please help me so I can swear at the later levels as well, instead of running out of swearwords to use on this one. If you could provide a subtle hint as to where I am going wrong, that would be lovely, otherwise smack me in the face with a blatant and explicitly outlined description of my required motions, humiliating me and completing your victory in the process.

I remain your humiliated fanboy,

Ben304

(Ps, I think this is the first time I've ever had to post in here for a hint. How humiliating!  :-[)

Rejoyce Ben, for I bring you hints!

Hint 1:
Spoiler
You've reached the point there you have to make an important decision, red or yellow? I'd say red.
[close]

Hint 2:
Spoiler
Now, only three blocks from red to victory: you have to use all of them!
[close]

Hint 3:
Spoiler
Not sure yet? Try to pick the changeblock-powerup and use it before merging with the other cubes.
[close]

Solution:
Spoiler
after passing the gate with red hue: pick changeblock, us it on the blue block, merge with orange and then with the former blue block (now indigo).
[close]

When I first saw this level from Mazoliin I was very pleased, the ending expecially was very elegant, with only three blocks.

Let me know if that helped you!
