I've beaten all the easy and medium levels and their secret levels.

Hard has me stumped!

By the way, do you have to beat ALL the levels to unlock Final?


I think only six from each/ ANd the hard levels are very evil at first, but I have 11 of them beat. I also have one elite beat, but those are really hard because there are too many choices to make.

EDIT: TOTPD! :eekdance:

If you can beat this one, I'll give you a jillion Bollars.

Sorry if I'm bumping this, but I'll answer some questions.

InterruptorJones is correct about the level saving. Gamemaker has no in-built function for this purpose, so I wrote the editor and file saving system myself, using file_text_open_write(), file_text_write_string() and file_text_write_real(). Each square is represented by an ASCII character between 033 and 104. At the end of the savefile comes a checksum, which I wrote a simple but effective method for, to avoid having people make impossible levels in Notepad, and it's slightly faster to code than checking the levels on loadup. So the way I save my levels really doesn't have anything to do with how Gamemaker works. Cookies to whoever cracks the checksum. :p

Color Printer: You can change resolution, but the default is windowed. I don't like games that try to change my resolution to things like 320*240 or 1280*1024. :p Also, unlocking Final only requires six Elite levels beaten.

Those of you who have beaten the entire game: there's an entrance to a secret area in one of the secret levels. It's well hidden, but if you look around a bit, the entrance should be obvious. I also hope you've found that all secret levels are based on classic Nintendo games: Donkey Kong, Ice Climbers, Zelda 2 and Kid Icarus.

Wow. Some great game you got there. I finally beat "Systematic". I finally figured out the answer: while I was laying in bed! :p

Well, they wouldn't give Who Wants to Be a Millionaire contestants the 50:50 lifeline if it gave them the answer, right? It's of no use until you find it, and when you've found it, you know where it is, eh?

The entrance to the secret area is easy to spot, if you're looking for it. Just look for something "out of place", and figure out what to do with it. :p It's not in the first or second secret levels, though.

Oh, and I won't be giving out solutions or hints for specific levels, because it takes alot of time, and people keep asking more and more, like on the Gamemaker forums. :p At Hard and Elite, the levels start getting more tricky, though - you don't have to press every switch, for starters.
