Congratulations, arevn !!

100 % during your 2nd trial....that's very impressing !!

I'd never have guessed that anyone would manage that so soon...!! Shocked

You have no idea how many times I had to restart and try a new path before I could get through the double purple doors, so all that exploring knocked out a lot of secrets!

My biggest mistake on the first try was to hit that last lever. Grin

Thanks for a speedy reply. The squirrel jump is new to me. I guess we are talking about the same room but sand-colored to me means gray. The platform that goes up and down and the lowest ground is light brown. I have tried the squirrel jump several times with no luck and it's hard to get there with very many lives left to use for practice. Maybe I will have to put it on hold until I get more skillful. Embarrassed

Jackie, I don't jump. I simply 'drop off' the ledge and immediately hit the arrow button to get onto the moving platform. It'll take you a few tries to figure out how far Jack can walk before falling so you can time when to press the arrow, but once you get it, you'll get it every time.

Cheers,

Arevn

Jackie,

when I said "sand-colored" I meant the same brick that you called "light brown". I just called it "sand-colored" because I didn't have a better word.... those bricks are in German "Erde" which is the ground we walk on in, say, caves or in the wood....and I simply don't know the correct English word for it.

If we're exact they're not bricks at all..... it's just due to the nature of the game that the "ground" is also made of bricks.

BTW: In the expansion pack we will see much more perfect tiles for that, which even give the illusion that they're not bricks anymore.

Hi, aqua and arevn

I finally made it to the platform and am pleased to know how to do the squirrel jump. Thank you for your help. Part of my problem was lack of lives before getting there, mainly due to not being able to make the big jump in a previous room. Decided it was my space key and took it apart to clean it out. Not any better. Hooked up another keyboard and the same thing. Apparently it isn't the machine's fault. Grin

Erde does mean ground/earth/soil. I know about six words of German and this is one of them. Cheesy

(Are any of us native English speakers??? LOL)

I can't wait for the expansion pack! Sounds like the graphics are going to be awesome!

Groovin' arevn,

of course I know that the literal translation of ERDE is earth..... but this is a different thing, as Erde in German actually means 2 different things:

1. Earth, as in "the planet Earth"

2. The stuff of which the GROUND is made of..... like the brown stuff you put into a flower pot so the flower can grow in it.... and I guess there must be a better word for it than GROUND....

and that was the word I was lookin' for, you know !

Usually I'm very good at the English language.... I read English books just as fast as I do German books, and I usually watch films in their original version.... but this one leaves me "speechless". Wink

I know there is a word..... and I've probably heard it often enough....but I just don't know now.

To make that long story short..... the brick we were talkin' about is that "ground - colored" one (substitute ground with the correct word).
Grin

Edit -

5 seconds later:

Ooops, stooopid me. I was reading too fgast over what you've written.... as you've said it already: SOIL.

(Although I doubt that we can call the brick in question the "soil-colored" brick..... so maybe there's still another, better word ?!)

No, no, Jackie......
it's really only a question of practice. It took me (and probably anyone else here as well) a while too, before we were able to do a smooth squirrel jump. So don't worry.

I reckon you're pretty new to MM anyway. So it's very brave of you to try to cope with THE VOID yet, and even finishing it !

I know it took me months until I started to try my luck at the HARD mansions (and it was not before I had managed all NORMAL ones).

I get to the top of the tower with the red doors at the bottom. I find the invisible platform at the top left, but can't seem to go anywhere from there. All I can do is go down the pole and get a yellow key that I can't find a door for. Help!! Thanks, Nancy
