Single screen prison - level 1

[Norbert]

That is one of three tricks that I am unable to do myself.
I've tried it many times, but it's just not working for me.

[Kaslghnoon]

I second Norbert here. I am unable to perform the trick in yaqxsw's video. Below are my two solutions.

Intermediate:


Advanced:


It is safe to classify yaqxsw's third solution as "expert"

third solution trick is cool too i used this trick at during sleep level 5.

[Norbert]

Thanks for adding your ways of finishing the level, Kaslghnoon.
It's cool that a level that appears to be difficult to finish actually has three solutions.

Intermediate: So the guard goes forward if the kid is turning in the air?
Advanced and expert: I noticed only now that the room is linked to itself at the bottom.
That's why I didn't even think of falling through the wall.
Even though that's how I got through the room of the second guard in "want hard". -> viewtopic.php?p=15649#p15649
(But yaqxsw did that with another trick instead.)

[Kaslghnoon]

Thanks for adding your ways of finishing the level, Kaslghnoon.

My pleasure.

So the guard goes forward if the kid is turning in the air?

Yes, this has always been the case. To my knowledge, this maneuver is a crucial part in solving one of the palace levels in Falcury's "Secrets of the Citadel" mod.

I found a walkthrough video for an unknown levelset:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH0ODbib ... ED1acebQ9Q -- Legendary Games from the Past - Prince of Persia
The description has a (working!) download link.
There is another video from the same user showing further levels of the set:

I've added this mod to popot.org a couple of days ago, on November 3rd.

I guess when I have time - should be in the near future - I'll go through them to see which ones pass the threshold of notability(*) and I'll mass add those to popot.org.
(*) Not almost-copies of others, more than a couple of levels changed, things like that. At first glance 15-25% or so of them.
Or maybe none, if I decide it's too much work and not necessary since they're already available here. I dunno, we'll see.

I've decided to go for an 'in-between solution' here. So not "none" and neither "mass add".
The 'in-between solution' is:
If someone thinks one or more of the mods should be added to popot.org and is willing to create screenshots, then I'll add those mods.

I found yet another mod: viewtopic.php?f=73&t=3379 (Level11 by pcbeetje)
This has only one modified level, though.

EDIT:
Do you remember the "Rise of the Prince" page that had many things except a download?
http://riseoftheprince.tripod.com/manual.html
(It was on mentioned in the PoPUW forum, but that topic is missing from the archive: http://www.popot.org/popuw_forum_archive/mia.php)

I found out that there is a hidden levels.dat on the site.
I followed these links:
http://riseoftheprince.tripod.com/robots.txt
http://members.tripod.com/riseoftheprince/sitemap.xml (This won't load from the link, you should copy-paste the URL.)
http://riseoftheprince.tripod.com/tmp/index.html
http://riseoftheprince.tripod.com/tmp/levels.dat.txt <- This is the actual levels.dat!

According to the screenshot (http://riseoftheprince.tripod.com/lvl1/index.html), this mod would have altered graphics, but I can't find that.

I completed levels 1 and 2.
Level 1: Mostly straightforward until the first blue guard. The level has 3 exits, so if you can't reach one of them, then you picked the wrong one.
There are some places where you can't go.
Level 2: You have to use some slow-fall potions, at least on the path I found. But there also are some invert potions, just to annoy you.
On level 2, there are two big potions, but:
- I can get to the upper one, but I can't finish the level after that.
The nearest exit is too far and slow-fall ends by then. (Or does it?)
The path to the other exit is blocked by a gate that was closed by a button on the path to the big potion. (And I already broke the button that would open it.)
- I can't even get to the lower one. The kid starts this level with 4 HP (level 1 has 1 obtainable big potion), but it seems that on the path down, the kid must lose 4 HP.
