Game Hint -
Shareware Level 13
What you'll need to do after clearing
the large amount of blocks from the left area of the level is this.
Take a look at the bottom of the level. You'll see three refractors
there. Stand in between the middle and the right one, and throw the
block to the right. Assuming you're standing in the right spot, it'll
bounce off a few walls, and into the area.
Boppin is the type of game that if you
can't figure something out, your best bet is to go try all the options
available to you; one of them will work. In other words, in a
situation like this, just try standing on all the blocks that you can,
and try throwing the block both ways (left/right) to see what happens.
This technique will be useful in later levels.
Game Hint -
Shareware Level 17
Here's how to solve Level 17 in Boppin
Shareware:
1) Don't take the batteries. Doing that
will cause you to not be able to finish the level.
2) Clear as many flies (both white and
black) that you can without touching the batteries.
3) Once you've done that, you'll need
to grab one of the white ones, and then shoot it at an angle so it
just barely clears the green block (don't bounce it off the green
block, or it won't work).
4) Before it comes back and you catch
it again, run to the elevator, and go down, and around, and stand on
top of the green block. Assuming you haven't taken the batteries, you
can do this.
5) The previously thrown fly should
still be in it's pattern of boucing around. If it blows up, you didn't
clear enough flies in step 2. From the position of being on top of the
green block, you can now reach the flies in the top of the screen.
The rest of the flies can be gotten
fairly easy. Once you've cleared the flies at the top right part of
the screen, you can then go ahead and take the batteries, since
they're no longer needed at this point.
