I totally agree with Amnon, this is terrific!

I don't think I've ever seen that one move before and although it was quick I could still manage it.

Thanks bb, lots of fun!

I agree its a very good one. I was stumped for a while as to how to get going. Once I got the move figured that I had not come across before I was able to figure out the rest. Totally fun level. MORE Please.

Thanks Annie

I agree with the others; it's a very good level. I only found "the move" by trying the impossible like a fool, and then it took me quite a while figuring out the rest.

Thanks for the fun!

Now the opening move here is something that I have never, ever seen before.

I will need time to figure out the rest but just wanted to comment on how crazy the start is! Awesome.

OK, I'm stuck... I've got all the coins except for the last one, I've used all the items so I have no leftover barrels or anything and I don't see a different way of solving the puzzle before... so how do I avoid the ghost?

EDIT: Wait, nevermind, I think I've got it! Hold on a sec...

so how do I avoid the ghost?

Allow it to exit, which means that you must have a way to push the ice-cube, then return in time back through the stopped conveyor!

Amnon, you've posted at exactly the same time as I edited the above post -- now how do I prove that I've never seen your post until now because I did not refresh the page?

I've finally found the last move with the cyan TPs -- neat! Once I figured that out, I was able to let the ghost escape and exit the level all by myself with no hints whatsoever! (though now I can't prove that)

Awesome level, without a doubt. Very Mark-styled in terms of misdirection -- every single object on the level is somehow "justified" in the wrong and impossible ways of approaching this excellent puzzle. Thanks!

I have totally spent way too much time on this can I please have a walk through?

As long as billy bob doesn't mind... a full solution for "Frozen Boulders":

1. Slide into the yellow chomper and a hidden UFO will destroy it. Hide behind the boulder to avoid the incoming UFO. The UFO will extinguish the flame for you.

2. Push the boulder to the right and leave it there for now.

3. Take the first barrel and move it into the water, one tile to the right from the green button. Take the coin on the green button, but do not take the coin on the blue button yet!

4. Push the "barrel" on the bottom one tile to the left. A blue sphere will roll out. Step out of the barrel and then push it above the mushroom. Do not take the coin on the conveyor or on the ice yet.

5. Push the bottom boulder down and left.

6. If you haven't taken the coin on the ice yet, you can now move the barrel on the ice and it will bounce back. Step down before it hits you.

7. Step on the ice from BELOW and you will push the barrel one step to the right, above the mushroom.

8. Push the boulder up.

9. Push the sphere, up, left, up, left, right, up, left. It should stop between the two buttons at the top.

10. Return to the bottom and take the coin on the conveyor.

11. Push the boulder down. Push the barrel on the ice (again) to get around it. Push the boulder right, left, right, up. Stop there for now.

12. Take the bottom barrel and push it all the way to the top area, and then put it in the water below the blue button. Take the coin on the blue button. (While doing this, you can now finally collect the coin on the ice)

13. Push the top boulder left, which puts a sphere on one button and a boulder on the other.

14. Push the bottom boulder up and hide on the light blue button.

15. When the very top boulder comes down to you, push it to the right and step through the light blue teleporter yourself to get around it.

16. Jump up on the trampoline to take the coin on the ice. Press the conveyor timer button and then go back.

17. Step through the light blue teleporter to get behind the boulder and push it up.

18. As soon as you do that, move to the right and push the ice cube ONE step down. Immediately move away, since a ghost will appear from inside a wall. The conveyor will be stopped by the boulder you've just pushed, so run away!

19. Wait until the ghost is far away enough for you to be safe, then quickly step through and get the last coin.

20. Destroy the ice cube by pushing it all the way down.

21. You can now safely exit the level with all rainbow coins in hand.
