I blacked out and beat a kid unconscious in Middle School, and all I remember there is being dragged away by security guards. And then I tipped a fridge on a guy about five years ago. I basically bottle up my anger and rage and self-hate until it comes out at random, somewhat inconvenient times.

Walljump as fast as you can, and you should get it; the level even allows several attempts in a single run. Just don't fall into the gauss afterwards, that is unpleasant.

There really isn't much you can do other than mashing the jump button inside the shaft. What you have to do, I think, is when you get to the wall on the lower right of the shaft, press your jump button 6 times really quickly while still in the shaft, and on the 6th time you hold it down. You're probably going to need to practise this.

In response to atomizer saying you get several attempts at it, that is sort of true, but you seriously have to watch out for the time, since you get no gold on 193-2 to make up for it, so you probably want at least 30 seconds left on your clock by the end.

Yeah I really hated that level with a passion.

Like atomizer and 999 said, the chimney method (walljumping quickly up the shaft) is the method that most people will use. Here's an alternate method for reaching the switch... less jumps, but I'm not sure if it's actually easier or not. (Paste this into the replay box in userlevels and click watch replay)



In an attempt to give you an idea of how to pull that method off, when you hit the ground just before the slope, jump with "tap ta-tap" in mind.

I'll see if I can find any easier alternatives.

Just persevere. If you think they're hard, wait till you get to 85-3, 88-4, 104-0, 104-3, 111-3, 117-1 and 188-4.

Perhaps there are tips or tricks to making a really good one, but I imagine you could work most of it out on your own, like... you start with a rocket and the ninja and then you design the rest of the level to make sure the ninja moves around and the rocket doesn't hit anything?

You'll start out the same way you make any DDA - enemy placement first. In this case, the rocket.
Secondly, put some trapdoors or something of that nature to bounce the ninja around in free space. If you want to edit it's course a bit, you can add a tile or two. Once you have an acceptable map of decent length, add the tiles. It's that easy.

Adding on to apekenua's comment:

Try to make the rocket go through tiles. Try using one the grids, pressing L or pressing the "GRID" button in the top right (if using NReality), to see if the rocket goes through the tiles. Provided below is an example, it isn't a true KRADDA, but it gives you an idea of the tile breaches. I included trapdoor-normal door breaches for some more examples.

Drama is good- try and make it seem as though the rocket or the ninja is about to die, then quickly switch it at the last second.

I agree with fawk. Make it as dramatic as possible.

Maybe have a jaded lover return, but she accidentally kills the ninja's twin in her lust for revenge. the ninja then feels that he has to avenge his brother's death, but is conflicted because secretly he still loves the assassin.
