This level are very very hard I'm on the wrong way ( i think) the wings gruntz are stuck ? Thanks How do i get to the coins - i remove some balls but the ball don't rolls over the ? switch Or come i here later back Wings on the check point? DO NOT REMOVE ANY BALLS FROM THAT PUZZLE. That would make the puzzle impossible, because all balls are needed to complete it. |

That would make the puzzle impossible, because all balls are needed to complete it. I did not remove it out the puzzle but I mean i steps on the yellow switch and all balls are gone I know you have to perfect timing but i can't get it (yet). can you make a simple 1  take hours to get over the arrows with the spotlight  |

Well perhaps I should make the balls slower in the final version, but I am going to test that part one more time, and if I can't get the coins, then I will change the speed (be glad that I did not make this as random as a real slot mashine as I intended to do when i started to design it)

Don't give up, it is simply a question of getting perfect timing. I have done it several times myself (once you know the trick it is a lot easier).  I am however changing the puzzle to the secret switch. It seems that it changes a little over time, so it should be less vulnerable to that change. Once I have tested this and a few other puzzles I will send out a (hopefully) final version. Until that, the one available now should be possible to clear, but probably not to a perfect. |

The timing is when the spotlight is in the bottom left corner, but you will have to try a few times before its gets perfect  |

I can't access to the Green Switch at the bottm left part of the arrow maze, just above the silver pyramid. I got the right one without big troubles, but I'm killed just one tile above the left one in my best attempts  |

I know that this puzzle is particular hard. I almost gave up when I tested it the first time. I have already explained the timing: You need to step out on the first tile when the spotlight is W-SW, so that it would exactly miss you the first time you pass it. If you stepped out on the tile too soon, the next pass will hit you. The timing really IS awful. |

You may be tricked by the timing, because it could seem as if you are close to get it right when you aren't. If you get hit on the last pass, you have got the completely wrong timing. If you are close to the right timing it is the second pass that is tricky, not the last.  |

I have just discovered an error late in the level. I am sending a new version to Gooroo. But until it is released, you could still try to get the timing in that though part right (once you have done it one time it is a lot easier to do it again). |

how come?... ... haven't you tested it yourself before the releasing???... I understand your eagerness to show your work (I myself have sin once or twice)... that's why we use the beta testing so we can get a second opinion... ... and of course the last word should be GooRoos... if only we all have more patience.... (yes, me too...) ... |

I have tested it. I don't know how that error escaped me, because i have tested the area where it occurred at least 10 times. It really puzzles me.  |

Sorry ilovegruntz, but i have drop this in the trashcan. It makes me nervous when you try it x time with no luck and when you done it the next light and bridges wait If you make it easyer i think more gamers will play it The puzzle are good in the level |

Remember that I designed the level to be VERY hard. #  # The timing is tight in every timed puzzle, and other puzzles requires an IQ of a least 300. So don't expect to solve it right away. |

Yesterday I desided that I would do a complete check for errors to see if any other errors escaped me. I finally completed ALL of the level from one end to the other, and found none. So there should not be any erorrs left in the level I sent to Gooroo a couple of days ago. |
