Thanks for the feed back.

Ya, actually this map makes more sense when you read the 'story' (I have 3 such "Kidz" map that I literally created for my children, and read them the story as 'hints')

But I do have some maps that have confusion built into them. I see that you are playing through the maps in chronological order. If you don't like that confusion factor, you may want to skip the following maps:

Asylum (glass floor makes this difficult to read. Though you managed to solve 'bring your balls', so may be not an issue for you.
Floating Blocks (large map, requires lots of visiting back and forth to figure out)
Fizzle Crazy Cube (hard to read)
Playground (may be you would still like this one)
Trickster (weird laser puzzle)
The Code (actually, this one I will unpublish)
Mass Effect (requires timing that can be frustrating))
Chop Suey (messy)

Among the most interesting ones are:

Insanity
Duality
Dilemna (personally, my preferred creation)

Interesting, but confusing map. Lots of wandering around.

hehe, yes it is possible to do w/o the white gel, but my children needed it :-)

You activate it by "steeling the egg" (sphere) and bring it to the "nest" (sphere plate on the sidewalk). This makes the bird "poop" white gel at a random frequency. It makes the remaining of the puzzle easier, as you can paint the wall and easily get to the buttons.

In my original design, I had the bird in a full cage, so it was not possible to fling. But, with the cage, the puzzle failed to compile. So, I left only the floor.

cheers

I found this bewildering.
I did not know what to do.
managed to fling to press buttons.
only a sphere did I see. that funeled to a button on the wall.
I used light bridge to go to exit.
I read comments about white gell, but did not activate any.
did not use all the buttons. did not see any cubes. only saw the 1 sphere.
did it more by fluke.

try your children on this easy map I made (their is violence):
simple turret problem 8-revenge

i don't like the randomness of the white gel.

Well it was a bit hard to find what to do X) But I tried to press every button I found and that was quite effective :p The only problem is that I activated the funnel before using the white gel... So I found no way to reach the exit once it was open XD

@OS Guard

Thanks.
I found it particularly funny how we had the same idea regarding the location of the exit door! lol

@other visitors: Compare this map to OS Guard's own animal map:

Nice, I even accidentally stumbled in to the dropping-randomizer room before completing. Clever way to do it.

Hi again, I updated that level of mine you commented on but uploaded it as a seperate level (called it an "Extended version"). Please give the newer version a try if you have time :)

Thanks again.

hey hey. It's so hard to put the "right" difficulty estimate on these. That's why I added that 'aspects grid', to give a bit more objective information. I had my son try Insanity, and he was not going anywhere, really. While, for this one, he had almost completed it (with those hints), then mis-stepped, died, and gave up.

thanks for trying them, and leaving the feedback. I'll adjust the advertised difficulty level.

cheers
