Adventure Index

SUMMARY: A series of islands and ice floes make this level quite confusing. Too bad you don't have much time to try and figure it out.

EXPERIENCE: This level is complex and you don't have time to make any mistakes. You have two goals---find the nine chips, and find the exit. You are given no Flippers of Ice Skates in this level---the only tool at your disposal is a Brown Block-producing Clone Machine.

Step on the Red Button to make a block. You need to use these Blocks to make a path through the water to find your goals. Don't think you can be a smart-ass and just go right and into the exit square without having to pass through the Chip Sockets---there are invisible walls to remind you that cheating is bad.

Now, where do we push our blocks? The image below shows you the two paths that you must take. The icy path right above the Clone Machine leads to the exit; the path three squares to its right leads to the island with the chips.

When you push a block onto the ice, BE SURE TO FOLLOW IT. You have to pack down the dirt formed when a block falls in water---if you don't, the next block you push will bounce off of it and either crush you or prevent you from continuing. Either way, it's a failure. Travel after the block, pack down the dirt, then head back to the Clone Machine for another block.

Also be careful to not bring extra blocks---the same bounce-back effect can occur, killing you. Each path requires three blocks to complete.

Once you have the chips, start on the path to the exit. Other than the tight time limit, this level isn't that bad. Be sure to enter the icy path the same way you came, or you'll slip into the sea and drown.

SCORE: 93 seconds remaining, 11430 points.

TOTAL SCORE: 145820 points.

You know, maybe Chip wouldn't have to go through this crap if he just tried the next level's title on Melinda---Forced Entry.
