Okay. So.....
[SPOILERS]
I've solved every puzzle I've happened across except for finding Denzil's headphones and I have 24 out of 25 Ice Cubes (including the tough ones from behind the column, the railings, the leaves, the handles, the clouds (including the one above where you use the crate) etc.). The only present I can still see on the map is the one behind the 25 Ice Cube door. Here's the thing: I've looked everywhere I deem to be feasible (including using the 'on the snow' techniques a la Winter World Dizzy) and I can't find that last cube! The only unused item I have is the dried firewood. So I'm thinking one of two things: Either I have to find the last Ice Cube to get behind that door and that gift belongs to Denzil, or I have to find a use for the dried firewood to get Denzils gift, trade it with him for the last Ice Cube and then get behind the door and that's Dizzy's gift.
So here's where I am stuck: I can't find either the final Ice Cube or a use for the firewood! I have visited the secret room, too.
[SPOILER END]
Overall I've thoroughly enjoyed it, just as I did Winter World Dizzy in fact. I like the idea of revisiting classic maps but in a different theme! I must admit, I didn't expect it to be this one. Great work {yolkfolk}:clap:

[SPOILER]
you need to find the ice cube first.

I realise it's an absolute sod to find - in fact, even though you haven't found it yet, you don't have any idea just how much of a sod it is.

All I'll say for the moment is that you can see a very very slight clue to it's location as you walk around, but it really is very very slight. If you're not paying severe attention, you'll miss it. Chances are good that even if you are, you'll still miss it. It really is a case of just one or two pixels that don't occur as you'd expect them to. ;)
[END SPOILER]

I get the feeling that this is one of those things that everyone will get stuck on, and I'll end up pointing you in the direction of the specific room it's in.

Intriguing! I'm dead now after trying silly jumps off clouds, so I'm going to fire it straight back up and get this egg cracked!
Thanks for the tip!

I can get the first 24 cubes in about 15 minutes on a speed-run, which is where I'm at now... I'm just off to try out my theory for the last one now!
Well done to those who've collected it :teethy:

Okay... It's not where I thought it was going to be: [SPOILER] I had a sudden brainwave that you might have hidden one sunken into a cloud, and put the cloud on a different layer in the game to disguise it... But no! No I am stumped. I've walked every inch of snow, rock and cloud pressing pick up/drop and nothing :(

"So close... No matter how far
It can't be too far from the start
Forever, stuck on 24
But the last ice cube matters

I'll never de-pak in DizzyAGE
This is Jamie's, I'll play it his way
The frustration I just don't say
But the last ice cube matters

Trust I seek, to find that cube
Every game, look at something new
Open mind for a different view
'Cos that last ice cube matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared, they're frozen snow
Let it snow

I'll never de-pak in DizzyAGE
This is Jamie's, I'll play it his way
The frustration I just don't say
But the last ice cube matters


Trust I seek, to find that cube
Every game, look at something new
Open mind for a different view
'Cos that last ice cube matters

Never cared for what they say
They're never in the games I play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared, they're frozen snow
Let it snowwwwwwweeeyeah!

So close... No matter how far
It can't be too far from the start
Forever, stuck on 24
But the last ice cube matters"

Okay, what room should I be looking in? I've even played in full screen with no filter to try and see any pixel evidence!

{yolkfolk}:eek: wow! I'm seriously impressed! I'd virtually convinced myself today that no-one would be able to find it unaided!

for those who are still tearing their hair out, it's in the 'Bank of the River' room.

No, trust me, it is. :wink:

Well done! {yolkfolk}:clap: It was a sod of a hiding place, wasn't it? :wink:

Inside 18mins would be very very good going! It took me 23 mins the other day, but I made some mistakes, tested a few small things, and walked past things I could have done but forgot to. That's why I've said under 20 mins should be easily achievable.
