Everyone has their game. This one is arnpoly's, I can't get past 2-3. Tips?
Sorry I didn't drop in with an answer earlier on this one.

For anyone stumped it was:

2-3 -- you have to trap the amoeba that is growing at the bottom of the screen.  If you do it will turn into gems.

2-4 -- you have to clear out underneath the horizontal wall in the middle of the level and drop rocks through it (it turns into a sort of portal that converts rocks into gems)


Both show up a few times later in the game, though it isn't always obvious when you need to activate a magic wall rather than kill enemies for gems.

Didn't get much time in on this one and wasn't the easiest to pick up either.

These past few months have been really busy, so I haven't had much more than an hour or two to dedicate to playing. I hope that changes soon.

Chalk me up as another one who wasn't feeling it this week with this game. This was another game in my category of "owned but not played" and after this week it will keep getting dust. I'll just take my point and move on.

All credit to arnpoly, not only for putting up that massive score but for also having the patience to get it. This contest was over as soon as it was posted.
