As it stands, the entire bottom and left side of Canine Campsite is useless.

Belowground Basketball can be bypassed by holding the ball where it starts and blasting it left by lifting the nitro.

I've been gone since the egg update, but there's so much new stuff now. Also, the pinball parts are way stronger than I remembered.

Here it is completing rocket garage with pixel placement.

That's not the only thing you can jam in that spot.

Stop the Outbreak does have an alternative if you have the gall to ignore the default pinwheel and place your own on the same spot (but facing the other directon).

[Perona]

Wow uh Hibernation was a lot easier than I expected. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEelWGRNLWw

[Reality]

With my progress dleted I needed a new run-through of the easy levels.


Ignoring preset things to place my own but facing the other direction again

Using things to make ramps fpr the basletba;;/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxGIVNMJzuw


Stretching the flashlight and lens range when lighting fuses, amd using ramps together.

Additionally, the buket objective for advanced gears only needs two of the balls in it to reach its target area and complete the level.

Fun solution where Tim dosen't get to remain stationary.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6aGxzy-LaI&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA

It looks like it skips alot, but all but one piece of the machinery I'm not using has been preplaced anyway.

[Reality]

Actually all this needs is the sides of the pipe made into destroyable brick as well, but as is, I can just use the hamster.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udATiVnL9Ig&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA

Speaking of hamster power...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmGba-z3cQ8&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA

It's about the same as using a pulley and lighter combination, but I find it more fun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY0NIG8ne3k&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA

When in doubt, stretch things.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wG6UUJRZ3Q&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA

I wanted to set off the switch and pop the balloon in same solution, but I goofed it up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SinqQmoeCLw&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA

Last but not least, some more acrobatics caused by using gravity pads and the bottom corners of solid objects.

[Reality]

And now for the most broken level in the game, Hot Waldo


The back end of the lid of a jack in the box can provide downward force.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmeVyvYgKQA&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA

Or you can move the jack in the box here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO7JQpc-vf0&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA

The hinge is more than enough to set the scissors off.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gks7IPvd1-Y&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA

The jack in the box and switch used in the offical solution is neccesary because you have to delay the balloon hitting the hamster, or else the power to the toaster will run out before Tim reaches it. However, you can also slow the balloon's progress by using the corner of objects to make it flip a few times on its way up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bH_ScHkZmw&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA

And finally, Physics
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggkbx2pd7d4&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA

[Reality]

Re-Finished the normal levels.
I put the zeppelin there by mistake, and then forgot that it was a movable object, and generally made my life hard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCfPm3BnO4w&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA
Waldo strikes back.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7pVR62bcS4&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA
Wrecking ball and wedging things together.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPsYmhZFbTU&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA
Scissor ramps and Antigravity corner jumps oh my!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFZhstaIDYM&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA
Uses every piece. I couldn't figure the level out the official way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV51fhW2vB8&list=UU_p-BQtrgZeCRlRijKw2hRA

The Hard Levels are among the most delicate in the game. At least some of them anyway.

skips connecting the solar generaotr and rotator-pulley system. The blimp dosen't quite fit here, but the underhanging part of it is low enough to make contact.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqxNKmOG8j4

Now this exploit just worked out too well. It's suspicous even.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0LNCFcbBM4

Probbably too technical for anyone to try to replicate. You can keep speed in pipes that aren't lined up properly if you put the gaps just right.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svlfsvQEFoM

Completely broke Rescue the Lantern by using mirrors and slowing the lantern's ascent.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7lrJpjrG3k

Wouldn't have tried this without the new cannon guidlines

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V74tjI384jk

I'm blowing explosives out of order to avoid parts of the level.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mifz9tVKEW4

Like cheese before it, dynamite does work as a moveable object when you really want it to.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUw_wNA1Yls

Wouldn't work if the preplaced conveyer belt up top was a single gear model instead of triple.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oiAHwT9PSA

The thinking part of the level is in starting the seesaw, the other stuff is fairly basic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb0CFevhKvw
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUI8PPbtc-s

Needs a new victory tag of some knd in my opinion.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXo-Vo9HEpU

Zombie Airdrop. the less strobe inducing way.

[Reality]

A Punching fist can provide upward and downward force, so you can conserve a couple extra pieces for the second part of this level. The video dosen't actually show a full solution because every time I hit record it moved the plug of my toaster on the left, It DOES stretch to the right plug though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quCpEe2-dKs


This is an amazingly close shave. The bucket catches a nitro, flies into the right wall hard enough to set it off, and uses that recoil to break another nitro in mid air (would break left pumpkin otherwise) before turning the switch off.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1tN50enemY

And that's pretty much it from me until the next update or if I decide to play community maps again. My solutions for Light the Mendora and the new Puzzle Maker's Finale don't quite matchthe offical ones, but I don't consider them different enough to be called goofy. Also I need to finish making a workshop level showcasing the infinite speed glitch I found on accident while playing the level Bucket Ball.

I haven't been able to do it like that since the cord isn't long enough (probably fixed now). But this still works for me:

I love these devs. But before I look at the new levels, I thought I'd look at the easy levels which are "new" for me, since they've been edited due to our shenanigans. Let's start with some nice and traditional, "use the corner of something as a slope". Gotta cheer for only 1 piece used.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=511184302

Boy, has this level changed!

It's overlooked that you can place pipes around balls(and otherthings) already on a level. In this case, the slight gap between the two corner pipes gives me the extra height so that the basketball doesn't bounce off the baseball.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=511184300

This is the most broken new level. Remote detonators are the most senstive thing in the game, so I always preplace a hook to rope them too if you don't want accidents to happen.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=511184297

But that felt cheap, so I looked for a more interesting way to beat the level. Basically the real objective of the level is to hit the scissors. Enter the toast launch. (The gun isn't neccesary, it just saved me having to get pixel perfect placement with the fishbowl.)
