Dodgeball: One on One

Thu 07 Apr 2005 10:17

<Max> (SPOILER) Yeah, it's definitely impossible to get back to the bottom because, even if you could block the lasers, there's no way to get past those teleporters.

This one is indeed easy, but it's fun to beat in as "realistic" a way as possible. It's also fun to find other ways of solving it...

Patchwork (v2)

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Wow, my solution is really asymmetric compared to yours! I can see why you called it patchwork, now...

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Nice; you tricked me good with the middle two panels.

Very very slick.

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Sorry, I thought you could get the dalek on your side, but I was wrong (as far as I know). You can easily kill him, though, but even if you were to somehow cover all the panels, I don't think you can get back to the bottom.
<Tom 7> (SPOILER) This one is fun. Actually, it's really easy because you can make the dalek first throw all of his balls out side-court. ;) And then when you win, he'll electro-seppuku in shame! Cute.

<Max> (SPOILER) Ugh... Well, I guess I don't mind that too much. In fact it would be much harder to solve on the same side as the dalek. If it's possible to solve in a subversive manner like this, however, it probably is a cook and I should do a different version. Otherwise, I'd like to think of this level as "loose" rather than "cookable". ;)

And it's kind of analogous to what might happen in real life if someone broke the dodgeball rules and ran onto the other guy's side to mess around: a fight would break out and the game would be over with no winner! I mean hopefully nobody would die of electrocution, but I guess you never know in the era of Extreme Dodgeball.
<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Cool mechanism (the local laser thing is more economical than mine; I should have thought of that). It is fun to try to break it in several ways. You can get into the dalek's playing field (those two red balls in the middle provide a nice shield to enter one of the teleports that appear), and you can get the dalek to come into your side. I don't think either of these help you win, although I haven't solved it yet.
