If it was working as planned then I think the OCD would be a significant challenge. At present I cannot fully stabilize the flywheel to the rod as the hinge does not hold. Hence the sign painters hint to crash the sever. You still have movement but not the undulating rhythm that makes the tower jump about. I will endeavour to tinker about with the movement or raise the OCD if necessary. Glad you enjoyed it.

New version uploaded. Finally solved the hinge problem, it's the 'timebugs' screwing things up. I now understand why in testing everything worked fine, no timebugs set. So this level will have no step back. I think the current OCD will now suffice. That said, I might just be rubbish at building towers and you will still have no difficult. If so how do you do it?

of course. i should've known what's wrong. timebugs always f@*& up the dynamic objects... but to beat this level without timebugs.... *adjusts the difficulty rate*

I think a AnchorFriendly near the exit point might be required.

Yet another level with improper resource paths... PLEASE USE FORWARD SLASHES FOR THE SIGN PAINTER'S SAKE!
Otherwise nice level, although very hard in my opinion.
I see that you are still in the phase of balancing but as the general tendency of custom level builders is to take difficulty to the limit I have to say it loud and clear: It is too hard for me! I'm a pussy!
Two or three more balls would be great I think and you probably wouldn't need another hinge at the top to make it doable then (for me). It's so frustrating to fail by two balls again and again. On the other hand I think it would be very motivating if you have just made it and you see that there is maybe some room for improvement.
This is my signature.

Final changes made. Now with forward slashes, extra balls and easy to achieve target requirement. The OCD should still be a challenge, good quick tower building required.

Great level. It took me a few times to reach the pipe. If there wasn't any anchor near the pipe, it would be very difficult!
Here it's my score : http://xs840.xs.to/xs840/09245/server_bytes_back539.jpg
EDIT : I just got a better score which is the max in my opinion : http://xs840.xs.to/xs840/09245/server_bytes_back2764.jpg

Wow! I am mighty impressed. I did think it could be done. My best, after many tries, just a mere 23 balls in 21 moves. I did try without the anchor, but without time-bugs, it was just annoyingly difficult, if not impossible. Although I bet one of you would have made. Some of you guys are in another league. Good on you.

i figured out a wat yo make this level easier. when you start the level before you start building it, take one of the goos on the rope at the bottom and make the goo attach to the main structure through the platform and it anchors the goo square to one spot

I spend all night on this level!
OCD 55 goos!! All common goos from the level!! 0 moves!!!

Can not see how that is possible when the level only has 55 common balls! Thought you needed two attached to get suction at the pipe? Guess you some how used UtilNoAttachWalkableSmall chain. To accomplish this by just bouncing balls, ingenious, well done.
Mon, 07/06/2009 - 05:25
Yes!! That's right, I used UtilNoAttachWalkableSmall!
Made a line out of them and kick that line to the pipe. So, I know it's is hard to believe and I don't have a video(I'll make one soon) but here is a simple picture guide:
tip: Always play on the right side, it is MUCH easier!
step 1.
Put all goos on the structure or on the left side. Take one goo and use it to kick the line of UtilNoAttachWalkableSmall on the right. Kick the 5th small black goos upwords to that rectangle that detaches goos. Try to stabilize the remaining line and fast kick the 1st and 2nd black goos to the right edge(just one precise nudge). http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/149/step1v.jpg
step 2.
You now have a line of UtilNoAttachWalkableSmall http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/9402/step2o.jpg
I first tried to kick the line upwords like Kopa did in his Throws Compilation 1:23. But that didn't work. So I throwed the common goo from above at the floor, much like i did it Damsel in Distress 0:07. The line is now just 'enuf it the air for you to kick it up to the pipe. http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/1715/step3jkd.jpg
Now you just have to get to the pipe, witch is not that hard if you are consistent at kicking that line. Line is very light and it will fly very easy, but is you miss one kick it will go down also very fast.It very strange btw, i've never kicked UtilNoAttachWalkableSmall line.
so that's it.
ah... I forgot.. more is possibe but very hard.
P.S. Can I put my screenshot at level screenshot section?

When are you going to design a level? That should be something. You would then have the fun of destroying the OCD that you set. Or would the OCD be only achievable to a Pavke. Perhaps you will call your level conundrum. That sounds about right.
P.S. Can I put my screenshot at level screenshot section? No.
Not that I care, for me WOG fades and Machinarium brightens. Only a few mouths to go for goods that sell really well.
Fri, 07/17/2009 - 14:29
You sound a bit angry at me, are you?
I planing to make a level but I don't have any great ides, just ok ones. Once I get great one I need to make the images for it and I'm not really good at image editing programs. OCD would be achievable to anyone. In the long run, I'm planing to make 2-3 normal ones and 2-3 very hard ones, I just need huge huge amount images.
If I am feeling lucky you should have the video of 55 goos in next 24hours.

Nice level, Jamerz!
Getting 55 balls is surprisingly easy (UtilNoAttachWalkableSmall are just comfortably light), wouldn't do it any other way.
But you're right, Pavke, more balls really require a lot of endurance.
Also did a first speedrun using this strat just for fun:

(You can see the fallen segment of the chain in the lower right.)
Edit:
And a second one:

It's so friggin' hard to kick those balls up to the pipe. Many "almost there" moments with just the last kick failing... So only +2 after over 46 minutes.

Oh yes, and thanks for the original strat, Pavke. Great discovery.
