Slash Takes On Chip's Challenge: Level 29

Posted by SlashFirestorm - March 4th, 2008


LEVEL 29: ARCTIC FLOW
PASSWORD: QGOL
TIME LIMIT: 400
CHIPS REQUIRED: 5

Adventure Index

SUMMARY: Chip must find a way across a series of small seas and icy paths to find the chips in this level. Some of the islands are guarded by Paramecia, and in such a confined space, they can be deadly.

EXPERIENCE: This level can take some patience, but once you know what you're doing, it's not that bad. Your goal is to find your way across the water and ice (and Paramecia) and obtain Flippers, which you need to get the chips and escape.

Use the blocks to cross the waterways at the beginning of the level. When you get to the island with three blocks on it, be sure to push them into the water at the highest point possible; that's the only part of the lake that's three squares across.

The next island is patrolled by a Paramecium. The enemies are tough, especially in close quarters, but you can handle it. Carefully enter the island and push the center block one square to the left (not yet into the water). The Paramecium will follow the wall and be guided into the water, where it dies.

Now use the blocks to cross the sea. The next island has another Paramecium and five blocks. Alright. Push the center block down one square, and then the lower left block down one square as well. Done right, the Paramecium will be guided into the water below.

Use the remaining blocks to cross to the next island to your left. IGNORE THE CHIPS BELOW FOR NOW---you need these blocks to cross, and there are Flippers ahead (and you'll have to pass by here on your way out, anyway).

Travel over the ice carefully. The very long ice path will guide you to the island with the Flippers. Score. Now head back, but do NOT take the ice path---the one-way force floor will just bounce you back to the Flipper island. Navigate through the water and ice and find your way back to the chip alcove, grab them, head to the Chip Socket in the upper right of the level and swim to the left-hand exit. Presto!

SCORE: 279 seconds remaining, 17290 points.

TOTAL SCORE: 269860 points.

The water-filling technique in this level is only a precursor of a much, much harder level to come. But before Chip faces that challenge, he'll have to find his way through the MishMesh maze.
