The Official CC Zone Level Up Thread!

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

As you level up in the CC Zone Forums, give you say on the level you're currently on while posting in this topic. One sentence to describe it would be perfect.

 

Scavenger Hunt - A great maze like level finding certain objects that I personally found not boring at all!

[Flareon350 601]

Trinity -- An interesting maze level that covers all elements and introduces item-swapping.

[jblewis 328]

Iceberg - a level that led to many a silly death via ice slides of doom when I was little.

[rockdet 99]

I.C. YOU - I never understood the hint until 2 episodes after it in my LP.

[Hornlitz 69]

On the Rocks - A reeeeaaaaallly long block pushing level that I always die on after I collect the last chip.

[rockdet 99]

Monster Lab -

[Flareon350 601]

Elementary -- A level that has a somewhat strict time limit.

[jblewis 328]

Blink - a level that can be solved easily with a systematic approach, but can be really hard when one wanders aimlessly.

[Flareon350 601]

Cellblocked -- The level that introduces the Ctrl-R restart level function.

[Hornlitz 69]

Sampler - An easy itemswapper level I used to get mad at because I'd always try to over-optimize it.

[geodave 98]

CASTLE MOAT -- A long level which becomes remarkably short if you look in the right place.

[rockdet 99]

Problems - One of my favorite levels in the set.

[Hornlitz 69]

I.C. You - A neat idea with a mildly confusing hint that got me all the time...

[jblewis 328]

I.C. You - a fun excuse to say "Lulu" out loud.

[Hornlitz 69]

Beware of Bug - A mildly boring level that I always got killed by either the paramecium or the bug in.

[rockdet 99]

Rink -

 

Oh man, 2 times I get to write nothing and it says-it-all

[Flareon350 601]

Nice Day - Introduces those pesky walkers and completely ruins your nice day

[Green Kitten 15]

Lesson 3 - My friend's favorite level in the game. (Then again, he could never make it past level 9 anyway )

[Hornlitz 69]

Monster Lab - A fun level unless you're going for bold. Then it's even better

[James 196]

The Nuts and Bolts award is given too early, Tom I got it and I'm still on Lesson 8.

 

Nuts and Bolts - .the rather famous first challenge in the set.

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

The Nuts and Bolts award is given too early, Tom I got it and I'm still on Lesson 8.

 

Nuts and Bolts - .the rather famous first challenge in the set.

 

Fixed. You're not on Nuts and Bolts anymore!

[Green Kitten 15]

Lesson 4 - The plunger level, as I called it back in the day.

[geodave 98]

BLOBNET -- ohhhhh, so evil.

[Hornlitz 69]

Problems - A fun level that's busted in MS. Gotta love that C/B glitch

[BigOto2 69]

I also got the Blobnet award one post early; James isn't alone.

[BitBuster 85]

"Forced Entry"...hmm, is it bad to admit that this name isn't ringing a bell?

[Hornlitz 69]

Digdirt - Another fun level with a bunch of bugs and paramecium.

[BitBuster 85]

Chchchchips; Melinda was right: it was always a pain snatching that last chip away from the paramecium.

[rockdet 99]

Chipmine -- Interesting concept but overextended. Still puts down that basic "It's always at the farthest point from where you stand."

[micronexer97 4]

Lesson 2 (If I'm here yet), it's my favorite lesson level and (imo) the easiest bold in the three sets played in CC (doesn't beat Zartacla + Lynx)

[BitBuster 85]

"Go With The Flow": an ironic description in my case, and one of the simplest and most enteraining levels in CC1.

[Green Kitten 15]

Lesson 7 - The confusing lesson.

[BitBuster 85]

"On The Rocks" - not the worst level ever, but certainly one of the less impressive levels out there (at least in the pool of Lynx-compatable levels; if you include all of the levels with invalid tiles, it actually becomes one of the better CC levels).

[Flareon350 601]

Blobnet - ......nuff said.

[Green Kitten 15]

Nuts and Bolts - When me and my friend were younger, we couldn't do this level at all. (We weren't able to do the ice and fire bit for some reason...) After an hour of playing we got the chance to skip the level and we took it! We managed to get up to level 16 that day. I solved level 9 a few days later.

[BitBuster 85]

Mugger Square - When I was little, I made it a goal to collect all of the boots, even redundant ones.

[geodave 98]

Mugger Square - When I was little, I made it a goal to collect all of the boots, even redundant ones.

 

Redundant? I used every one.

[BitBuster 85]

You don't need either of the skates.

[Flareon350 601]

I.C. You - There's blobs in the middle of the level!!! (except you can't see them hardly...)

[Lessinath 45]

I hate this level.

[BitBuster 85]

As do I. Mishmesh, that is. "Playtime" is a lot of fun, at least on those occasions when you don't get killed by that infernal trap...

[rockdet 99]

Metastable to Chaos - I love these kind of levels Also, stuck on it since 500 posts

[BitBuster 85]

One of the original CC websites said something along the lines of "It's the kind of level you beat the first time out and never manage to beat again."

 

 

I can relate.

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

Jailer - That level with the MS glitch on the keys I think. I love that level!

[Flareon350 601]

Digdirt - The level where I always tried to clear all the dirt just for the extra challenge

[Green Kitten 15]

Teleblock... nothing too hard yet! Until level 16...

[Hornlitz 69]

Rink - One of the levels I'm thankful for it being untimed.

[Flareon350 601]

Traffic Cop - yet another MS busted level

[Hornlitz 69]

Block Factory - a level that always confused me way back in the days when I was a stupid kid. I never got the point of the level :/

[jblewis 328]

I think I gained about seven or so levels from all of this catching up today.

[Hornlitz 69]

Amsterdam - A level that was thought to be fully optimized, and then Pieguy was like "Lol wut? John is beating me? lol not anymore."

[Flareon350 601]

Amsterdam - A level that was thought to be fully optimized, and then Pieguy was like "Lol wut? John is beating me? lol not anymore."

 

LOL

 

Grail - One of the many CC1 levels I never understood.

[Hornlitz 69]

Eeny Miny Moe - A level that I thought was impossible a long time ago. I always thought there weren't enough blocks in the top section. (Yeah, I was stupid back then.)

[geodave 98]

Eeny Miny Moe - A level that I thought was impossible a long time ago. I always thought there weren't enough blocks in the top section. (Yeah, I was stupid back then.)

 

Yeah, there aren't enough, until you realize that there are....

[Hornlitz 69]

Yeah, there aren't enough, until you realize that there are....

 

I don't always call levels impossible, but when I do, they aren't.

[IceyLava108 323]

Lesson 1 - What's a key?

[jblewis 328]

Colony - one of those levels in CC1 that could've been made smaller...

 

Edit: ...except now I've just discovered that I've hit the threshold for "Apartment" right before I posted. Very well, then - this is a level that I tried to solve with random guessing and no logic whatsoever as a kid.

[Flareon350 601]

Strange Maze - Totally strange indeed! I always thought there were hidden keys and such to get through the obstacles when I was younger.

[Hornlitz 69]

Edit: ...except now I've just discovered that I've hit the threshold for "Apartment" right before I posted. Very well, then - this is a level that I tried to solve with random guessing and no logic whatsoever as a kid.

 

Same here! I never use to know how to beat this level...

[Hornlitz 69]

Bounce City - A level that had a terrible color scheme in my opinion. Gray and Pink. Also, Pink Balls.

[Hornlitz 69]

Nightmare - A level that never gave me any. It was too easy.

[IceyLava108 323]

Lesson 2 - When I first played CC I either fell into the water or hit those bugs so many times >.>

[BitBuster 85]

Nightmare - A level that never gave me any. It was too easy.

 

Same here. I think at one point I assumed it was an ironic name, the way Cake Walk was ironic.

[geodave 98]

Ah, the c/b glitch.

[Flareon350 601]

Hidden Danger - except there isn't any AT all.

[geodave 98]

WARS -- A level in which I had no idea what to do for a LONG time.

[BitBuster 85]

I always got Wars and Suicide mixed up when I was a kid. Still do, actually.

[BitBuster 85]

Oversea Delivery always stuck me as sort of a weird level. I'm not sure why.

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

Block N Roll - That level I always used to nickname "Rock N Roll" because that's what I thought it was supposed to be called.

[IceyLava108 323]

LESSON 4 -- Blue tanks from war games!

[Markus 45]

Hunt - A level that I could never complete when I was younger, but find stupidly easy now.

[BitBuster 85]

Totally Unfair: I never thought it was all that unfair myself.

[Flareon350 601]

Chipmine - One of my all time favorite CC levels

[BitBuster 85]

Underground: I hated this one when I was a kid, but now it's one of my favorites.

[IceyLava108 323]

LESSON 6 -- Hey, what are those chips doing over there? How do I get there? How in the hell is this--

 

Ooops! Out of time!

[Flareon350 601]

Corridor - pretty much one of the underrated great levels of CC1 that should be seen more often in custom sets. (except the roaming walkers)

[IceyLava108 323]

Corridor is one of my favorite levels, alongside from Cityblock and Up the Block in CC1.

[BitBuster 85]

Yeah, I never understood why the walkers are there. What's up with that?

[jblewis 328]

I don't know, but as a kid, I was seriously frightened of them in that part of the level.

[geodave 98]

That's so wrong. Walkers rule!

 

Although I agree they freaked me out when I first played that level.

 

I also agree that there should be more levels like this.

[jblewis 328]

Fireflies:

 

Burn the land, boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me...

 

Oh wait, wrong one.

[IceyLava108 323]

Walkers, they aren't so bad. It gets really annoying when you're near a walker and a wall is there, and you're like "that walker won't hit me, it's gonna go in a totally different direction than where I'm standin---

 

Ooops! Look out for creatures!

 

=======

 

LESSON 7 ---

 

[geodave 98]

Fireflies:

 

Burn the land, boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me...

 

Oh wait, wrong one.

 

Take my hand / Share the land

[Flareon350 601]

If you played the most recent version of JCCLP, you will see there is a level like Corridor AND Lock Block!

[AdrenalinDragon 269]

Pentagram - That level about Satan... I think.

[BitBuster 85]

When I was really little, that hint sort of scared me.

[BigOto2 69]

It's funny how I just got 400 posts but at one of my least favorite CC1 levels, Writers Block, as all it is is a giant block-pushing frenzy with only just enough blocks and is super-easy to screw up.

[geodave 98]

Thinking about making a Hexagram level....

[jblewis 328]

#147 (Force Field) - this was quite the nightmarish challenge as a kid.

[BitBuster 85]

I remember playing (and finally beating) that level one morning during a two-hour snow delay.

[Green Kitten 15]

I remember playing this level, did everything... then forgot TO PUT THE DAMN BLOCK ON THE BROWN BUTTON. I had to do that boring old level again. Meh.

[BitBuster 85]

I sort of liked Elementary as an exploration of the various elements. Mind, this was when I was still stuck on Castle Moat.

[Flareon350 601]

Four Plex - One of my favorite CC1 levels that actually has some pretty great puzzles, especially that glider/bomb room

[BitBuster 85]

^Agreed. I'm a fan of Invincible Champion as well, though not as much as Four Plex.

[IceyLava108 323]

Lesson 8: Well I'm not letting you eat me..

 

Also.. Four Plex.. that is one of my favorite levels in CC1.

[geodave 98]

Another vote for FOUR PLEX, especially because of the disappearing pink ball glitch.

 

Also, I did not like INVINCIBLE CHAMPION.

[Flareon350 601]

INVINCIBLE CHAMPION - Sucks. Sorry about that

[IceyLava108 323]

NUTS AND BOLTS --- This was the official first level of Chip's Challenge; due to the others being the "learning levels", therefore called the 8 Lessons. This level was basically all the previous lessons summed up in a big challenge for the new players. This level was fun and it's also where Melinda put a secret wall panel to outsmart the spies.

 

I felt like typing.

[BitBuster 85]

What's wrong with IC?

[geodave 98]

INVINCIBLE CHAMPION, METASTABLE TO CHAOS and LOBSTER TRAP are annoying levels. Not bad, I just didn't like them. If you complete geodave3 level Instable, you may better appreciate why these sorts of levels are annoying.

 

Still, I'd vote them in for the sake of variety.

[jblewis 328]

You'd probably despise my level "Eat Dirt," as it uses that floor pattern tha was in these three levels.
