Just in case this isn't the only secret room in the level and I haven't discovered another one, this is the secret room at .

I don't need help with this room, but I just want to say that this room (so far) was my favorite DROD room....ever.

I will personally bake a cookie for whoever came up with it.

That is all.

Ohh...but if anyone NEEDS help with this room, I traced out all of the platforms on graph paper and cut them out, and solved the puzzle that way. It's a lot easier than simultaneously manipulating 10 moving platforms.

I made the room...but it was heavily "borrowed" from Fish Fillets 1. There is a puzzle in that game that I recreated in this room. Since you enjoyed it so much, I highly recommend playing Fish Fillets for yourself, it can be found for free (the original is open source now) here: http://fillets.sourceforge.net/ .

Game on,

Thanks!

My only issue with the game so far is that whenever I make a wrong move, I subconsciously press backspace, thanks to DROD. Thusly restarting the level instead of going back one move. Kind of frustrating. XD

Ummm... you do know you can change the keys for both "Restart" and "Undo" in the settings menu?

I personally didn't care for Fish Fillets. Could I have some strong hints, or a demo?

It's obvious what you have to do, but it sure is a pain in the arse to manipulate all of those platforms, isn't it?

Try cutting out the pieces on graph paper.

If you need a few hints on where the pieces go...

I'm guessing there is more than one solution, but here's what I had:

In the 10X4 area you have to work with:

The square goes:





The linear piece goes:



The sideways-T goes:


Try starting with that...if you can't get it, I'll post my demo.

This puzzle is much harder than the original one because you don't know what order things need to go down in...there's no gravity or anything, so you have all 10 objects to choose from instead of a few possibilities. That being said, I've found that cheese's middle clue, that of where the flat piece should go, is usually my key to solving the room.

Game on,

Hmmm, there must be multiple ways to solve the room. I got it a different way.

I've got a challenge here, alright. Do it in one big 4*10 box instead of two little 4*5 boxes smushed together.

I didn't even KNOW it was possible to do it using 2 smaller rectangles...


Howabout we just come up with a challenge to see who can solve it the most ways??

I feel like this room was "borrowed" from another games besides Fish Fillets too... I can't put my finger on it though...

I used a "Google drawing" to drag the stuff around. Far too much guessing involved without hints. cheese obsessive's first two hints were enough to make it manageable.
