Mind the Gap,Please

Can anyone give a hint here. I can never get all the gems. There's always 1 left. I'm going nuts trying paths over and over. Maybe there's some subtlety I missed.
Thanks in advance

After EACH (!) separate pop of the button, try walking around ALL the paths... including the least likely ones. Be exhaustive. Use a few different savegames so that if you get stuck you don't have to retry the whole level.

Personally I do not know a way to solve this puzzle with pure logic, unless one can see many, many moves ahead. Being thorough and methodical is the key. Prepare yourself for a lot of walking to and fro. If it helps, you may want to write down which paths you have visited, or put stickers on the monitor to mark the springs that you have already visited.
Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.
