Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
The Goo Balls were nestled all snug by the fire.
In hope of avoiding the Sign Painter's ire.

Fat chance.

I'm very excited to announce the release of "Jingle Balls", a new level developed by Sébastien Kerguen, Cosmin Mirza and myself.

Check out the trailer and download the new level here: http://goofans.com/download/jingleballs

Totally Awesome - no pipe?

Wow, that's really cool. Great job.

There is a pipe  :)

The level's of medium difficulty, the OCD is very hard.

Very nice job; it looks great!

Now I can spend my vacation days to try and get that OCD....

Cosmin pointed out I somehow butchered his music in version 1.0 and it didn't loop properly... if you downloaded it already I recommend getting version 1.1 with fixed (and longer) music!

For the black goo balls did you use my Winter goo balls?

Yep, I separated the hats from the ball, so the balls squidge around but the hats stay the same shape :) Forgot to credit you but I've added you to the page now, thanks!

By the way, davidc, do you take requests for gootool?

It would be great if gootool were able to automatically download and install goomods. Not only would that make installing mods a lot easier, it would be a lot easier to discover when new mods/levels become available, and to see when installed mods can be updated.

This would obviously require some central repository of available mods to be maintained; maybe we can hook it up to my wiki so people can add their levels there?

This is coming in 0.10, it needed a lot of server side coding that I've been putting off while working on the level :-)

Nice level, You did a great job making the signs fit in with the originals.
Now to to get that OCD...

By the way, how did you do to create a sign-post ?

So now the holiday season is past, how about a hint for the OCD on this level?

Spoilers follow: (select to read)
I've gotten it down to 56 balls. The christmas, ivy and flammable goos are 58 in total, but I need one flammable goo to ignite the bomb and one goo is necessarily left behind.

So I figured to get to 57, I either need a way to ignite the bomb without using a flammable goo, or I need to break down the tree-stand made of fixed normal goos, which might be possible on the left side of the screen (which disconnects goos) except that I can't get it to move.

Any hints?

thanks for giving me a hint by asking for a hint. :D

so a hint would be: The answer lies within your question.  :P ouch, hot hot hot. ;)

Fantastic level, great challenge. Took me numerous tries to get the present, once done however I easily got the OCD. I like how the red goo hang off the tree.

Ahh, now I get it. I didn't even know you could do that!
This is actually even easier than throwing match head goos  through the fire and it saves another Goo. :)

Hehe neither did I, but it does work on normal levels too. I just discovered it by accident and it was incredibly useful for quickly testing changes to the level  ;)

I'll be posting a walkthrough and an OCD walkthrough to YouTube shortly.

Here are both normal and OCD video walkthroughs: http://goofans.com/node/72

Wow. That OCD technique was totally unexpected.

And it is beyond awesome. Absolutely genius work, davidc.
