I wanted an option between easy and not hard enough. I think it's just right, keeping in mind i've gotten really good at Gish lately.

How to Install a Level Instructions

Please send me video links if anyone has these clearly recorded.

For all System to play the levels (after installed) launch Gish > Start > choose any account > Custom Levels > Load Level
The Levels are
factory1.lvl
factory2.lvl
factory3.lvl
etc

Windows -
1) Download new level(s) zip using the download link
2) Unzip files and locate the folder they were extracted into
3) Copy or move level files (.lvl) and place into your Gish level folder. Example : Computer > C drive > Program Files > Gish > Level
4) Copy or move textures (.tga) into your Gish Texture folder. Example: Computer > C drive > Program Files > Gish > Texture

Mac -
1) This is very similar to Windows, but finding your folder has a few tricks.
2) Find your Gish level folder by following the series,
-"Right click" or hold the CTRL key and click (for a single button mouse) on the file "gish.app" in your gish installation.
- Select the option "show package contents" from the menu that opens.
- Once here open Contents folder and inside that open Resources folder.
- Once in the Resources folder you will be able to see your level and texture folders, paste factory.lvl files into the level folder and .tgas into the texture folder.

Linux -
1) Copy all levels (.lvl) into your level folder and all textures (.tga) into your texture folder, both located in your ".Gish" folder inside your HOME folder. Start Gish by entering the console and going to your new install location and typing "./Gish"

Currently Released Levels

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geZvuDEgJ-0

Level 2 - "Gears, Gears, and Really Hot Pipes!"
From inside the factory it seems that all the equipment is still fired up after hours. Gears, gears, and really hot pipes. One slip and it could be the end for this ball of tar.
Challenges:
 Complete this level in 7 minutes or less with 20,000 points or more. Hint : You can collect over 20,000 points without killing any baddies.

Level 3 - "Brea??"
The track has been tampered with in a bunch of places, you need to find a detour to get the cart back onto path and continue. These carts were meant to go back and fourth to transport materials, but you don't have time for that! Oh and keep in mind these gears have been greased up a little too much. Try not to slip, it's a long way down...

Level Challenges:

1) Find the broken motorcycle and attempt to complete what it didn't get a chance to.
2) Complete half the main path by elevating the fast cart using the button switch.
3) Find a way to flip the switch guarded by a hot pipe without taking damage from it.

4) Complete this level using the alternative path (Something other than the cart will hit the final switch)
5) Determine what each of the three switches/button do just before the giant gear. Annotate your video to document their affects to the level. (The three referred to can be seen in one frame)

6) Complete this level using the main path (The cart will hit the final switch)
7) Find the hidden Plantronics Prize Box, Claim it by detaching it from the ropes it hangs from, and complete the level.
8 ) Complete this level in less than 55 game seconds.

*Credit can only be given to the first 5 submissions, no repeats! You only need to submit any one of your choice for maximum entry credit.

Challenges 1-3 easy
Challenges 4 and 5 medium
Challenges 6, 7 and 8 Difficult
 

After investigating a little more it seems they are mining for the same power source the inventor was using to fuel his machines.
But wait, what is the scientist's experiment doing here? O well, no arms and no legs... That doesn't seem intimidating at all. What's he going to do? Attack you with his mind?

Challenges: (These can be completed on either Meltdown8 or Factory8 - you pick!)
1) Progress through this level to the giant power source
2) Complete this level by hitting the emergency shutdown button before the experiment reaches the power source, then take Brea to the exit
3) Complete challenge 2 in 1 minute of game time or less
4) Use the level editor to modify and create your own obstacles for this level and play through it - feel free to ask for help

*As always we will only be accepting 5 submissions total, you may repeat any of these 4 challenges.

I figured it out incase anyone else has this problem -

The reason my exit wasn't working is because i was holding down shift while pressing 5. This creates a box outline that does nothing (as far as I can tell). Possibly to keep track of space?
Anyway if you press shift + 6,7,8, or 9 you can make different colored boxes.
It also looks like you can make different colored boxes without pressing shift that also do nothing.

Overall, the only way to make an exit is Shift highlight, let go of shift, press 5.

Edit: The other colors might be for different game modes now that I think about it. I was doing game type 0

FAQs:

1) I posted, why don't I have my game yet?
We are receiving a very large response and are developing the fastest way to deliver games. Please expect a few days delay after making your post before receiving your game. Thanks for your patience.

2) How will I receive my game?
When the promotion is over we will be requesting your e-mail and send a code for the game to it. You will be receiving a 'soft copy' of the game.

3) Has this promotion started?
Yes, it might be over. You better hurry, http://www.facebook.com/ChronicLogicGames

4) I can't post on Facebook, what's wrong?
Most likely you are not logged in, or have not "liked" the Facebook page. If you do not have a Facebook account you will need to make one, log in, then add the Chronic Logic Games page to your favorites by clicking "Like". Some people have also said that if that doesn't work liking the post before leaving a comment sometimes helps.

We will post a new status in the Facebook channel saying that everyone should have their games once we finish distributing them. If you still haven't received your game at that point feel free to contact us.

No, only games that are already released for sale on the Chronic Logic site are available through this promotion.

7) I decided I want a different game than the one I posted, can I switch?
 Yes, simply make a new post. You do not have to delete your old one. If you switch after the deadline and delete your old post that was within the deadline it will appear that you completely missed the deadline to us.

8 ) Should I pick Bridge Construction Set or Bridge It?
The best way to decide which games you prefer would be to try our demos available at ChronicLogic.com.

9) Can I post about this promotion on my blog/website?
