Help on level 12...I feel like such a loser because its supposed to be still a relatively easy stage but the box just wont sink over the hole and i just keep friggin' drowning. :(

HELP!:confused::confused::confused:

[BrettArchibald]

I can help you out here, if you remind me which level this was...

I can't go back to a previously played level in the same game, and I don't really want to play through the first 11 levels again in a new game just to get here...

So, can you post a screenshot — or a couple of screenshots panning the entire level if it's fairly big — and I'll get back to you...

[risc1]

AWESOME! I hope that you can help me with the solution. :)

Here are the screenshots. :)

*** HERE IS A HINT ***

OK, I don't remember if this is the first level in which "cracked floor tiles" appear, but the thing to note about cracked floor tiles is that they WILL support a weight, but only ONCE.
So the important thing there is that the cracked floor tile will only completely break once you or an object moves OFF that tile. That's why merely pushing the crate ONTO the cracked tile will not make it sink immediately. The tile breaks when the crate moves OFF the tile, meaning you fall into the hole that has just now appeared.

So, that's a hint. If you want to try and complete the level with that information, stop reading now.

If you want a blatant solution, continue reading...

*** HERE IS THE SOLUTION — SPOILER ALERT ***

Move to the cracked tile near the bottom of the screen. Step on it once, then immediately take a step back to where you just were. The floor tile will now completely break. Go back and fetch the crate. Push it into the hole. Walk over the crate. Fetch the battery there. Stand on the green button to drop the raised tile at the top of the screen. Now you can fetch the battery there. Fetch the other batteries as normal. Go to the exit.

THANK YOU! I feel quite like a dork for not figuring that out for myself, hahaha!
But thank you, I was about to delete the game since I hit the 9-page limit already and so I'm not too patient with the games as I normally would be.

Thank you again! :)

[BrettArchibald]

No problem. :)
Stick with it, it's a great game — but be patient, as the later levels can get quite tricky...

So, did you go for the hint or the spoiler?

The hint. :) Ha! :) I guess that makes me only half a dork! :P

You finished the game? That's cool! And if you recommend it, I'll stick by it and see it through! :D

Any Help on 46? or is it just tedious and precise shifting of the reflector blocks?
I got stock on level 46 awhile ago, set down the game and forgot about it -lol-

I think I remember that one, as, if it's the one I'm thinking of, I too had a bit of trouble with it at first... Scratched my head for ages over it! But as always, once you see the solution, it suddenly seems obvious and you wonder why you couldn't see it sooner... :rolleyes:

Can you put up a screenshot of the level to remind me which one it is...

[mek]

its the one with all the fireballs down the middle

is there any word that the developer will be adding new levels? cause this was a fun game, it would be sweet if there were more levels :)

[BrettArchibald]

Aah yes, that is the one I'm thinking of.
Did you want a hint or the solution?
If you just want a hint, I'll say this... Start on the left. ;)
If you want more than that, let me know...

is there any word that the developer will be adding new levels? cause this was a fun game, it would be sweet if there were more levels :)

Well... supposedly, there will be more levels added, according to the developer himself... but he has been very quiet 'round here ever since he made that announcement some time ago...

[applesauce25r624]

people are saying it's easier than chip's challenge on the itunes reviews

[risc1]

Nope! :eek: Well, it only helped for the left...then I was just sorta stuck and the lady decided to just walk into the fire and get the torture over with! :p

So did you want the step-by-step solution, or just more of a hint?

Another hint maybe? Hopefully I can figure it out from there! I wish... :)

[BrettArchibald]

OK, here's a hint... Use the laser to blast the 4 boxes in the order shown below. Exactly how to do that though is the trick.

(Excuse the quick less-than-detailed sketch, but you should get the idea...)

[Ahiru]

will they ever update it? it feels way too sluggish for my taste, never really played it past the early 10 levels...

i just found Chips Challenge that i rather play that instead (fast paced click-click turn-turn move-move)

[Tinsel]

Just in case anyone ever has trouble with 46 again (I did), the image provided on Page 2 is incorrect! Using that picture, you want to hit boxes in this order: 3, 4, 1, 2.

[crunc]

You've reminded me that the dev never came through on the promise of new levels. Makes me sad.

Can anyone help me with level 34 please . Completely stuck . :confused:

Can you post screenshots of the level?

[ANN 16]

You are brilliant for offering but I've now done it . Be prepared for next time though . Ann

[ANN 16]

Can someone tell me how to do " screen shots " so I can ask for help with level 38 . Thanks

[ANN 16]

I have now found out how to take a screen shot but how do I get it onto this site . Thanks .

From my iPhone . I don't use the desk top really . Thank you

[BrettArchibald]

From my iPhone . I don't use the desk top really . Thank you

It's going to be a long-winded problem trying to do it direct from your iPhone.
It'll be a lot easier doing it from your desktop.

[ANN 16]

Thank you so much for trying to help but I really don't feel capable of doing this . The iPhone and it's games is my "toy" and I know very little about the desk top . My husband always helps but knows very little about the iPhone so it's a but difficult . When I next see our son I will get him to sort it for me . Thank you again . Ann

[ANN 16]

Hi Brett , need help with level 46 please . Someone has posted screen shots of it on page 2 - it's the one with fire down the middle . Will start off with hint please then progress to full solution if I can't do it . Thank you . Ann ( now on iPhone 4!)

[joans]

I am stuck on level 33. It has 4 prismas and I laser and a wooden block. It looks so easy and I cannot solve it. Thanks.

[joans]

I am going to attempt to attach a screenshot. I have done every Loopy Lab level up to this point in minutes! I cannot figure out why I am stuck on 33. If you can help it would be great!

[BrettArchibald]

So are you stuck on 33 or 46? Or both?

[ANN 16]

Hi brett , I'm stuck on 46 . Someone else is stuck on 33 . Ann

[BrettArchibald]

Hi brett , I'm stuck on 46 . Someone else is stuck on 33 . Ann

Aah, right, sorry. Silly me, I didn't even check to see that the posts were from two different people! :rolleyes:
OK, Ann, if it's just hints you want to start off with, then if you check further down on page 2, I have already given a few tips...

[BrettArchibald]

Can you post more screenshots of the parts of the level that are not visible in that picture?
It's been so long since I completed this game that I have long since removed it from my iPhone and so I cannot re-play that level by itself now just to see it (I'd have to play through all 45 levels previous to this one).

[joans]

Thank you, Brett! Here are the additional screen shots.

[BrettArchibald]

Thank you, Brett! Here are the additional screen shots.

In what direction are the two travelators moving? Are they both moving away from the wall?

[ANN 16]

Hi Brett , A hint wasn't enough . Still can't get anywhere , the problem is I don't seem to be able to work out where to put the blocks or how the flame bounces from one to another and causes the explosion you need to get rid of the boxes . Ann ;)

As with Joan, could I ask for more screenshots so I can see the whole level?
It's been a long time since I played this and I don't have the game installed on my iPhone any more...

[joans]

Hi Brett,
The 2 travelators are moving away from the walls as you said. It does not look like it should be difficult, but I can't seem to get it.
Joan

[joans]

Brett, thank you for helping with level 33. I figured out what I was doing wrong. The laser had to follow the path toward the wooden box. The walls were stopping the laser. Once I figured that out, it was easy to solve the level. Your mention of the travelators led me to consider where to place those prismas. Thanks!
Joan

[ANN 16]

Hi Joan , how did you get a reply from Brett without the rest of us seeing his answer ? I've been waiting to see his advice as I was stuck on 33 but skipped over it so I was going back to try again once I saw what to do . :)

[ANN 16]

Hi Brett , can you send me information on how to put screen shots on if I use the desk top . Thank you Ann

[ANN 16]

Where is everyone ? Isn't anyone going to help me solve my problem ?? PLEASE

[SON OF ANN 16]

Here's the screenshots you needed uploading, from Level 46.

You may need to remind people of your request, so they don't have to bother looking back over several pages to find it.

:)

[ANN 16]

Hi Brett , as you can see above my son came to the rescue and put screen shots on for me . I would be so grateful for help as I cannot see how you get the beam to hit the blocks and then destroy the boxes . Do you have to turn the blocks for the beam to hit a particular side . It's completely baffled me . Thank you Ann

[ANN 16]

Ok !!! Obviously everyone has deserted this site and don't feel they want to help me so does anyone know where I can go to get help ? I refuse to give in and delete game !!!! Ann
