Colours of Rainbow

An easy one.
I think this level is meant to be difficult with the fires and the transporters.
But it's not.
Just to get the crabs on the buttons is tricky but...

HELP...I can get all my guys on the colored buttons, but i'm stuck up top.

I've also tried getting them on the buttons from the bottom, but that sure doesn't work! Thank you in advance.

I had the same problem, but then I realized:

Save that brown button on the top until you have all the crabs placed.

Ok, those green crabs are trying my patience! Would someone please tell me if I'm at least on the right track? I'm blinking across the water on the left (ignoring the red transporters) and trying to lead all 8 crabs back to the middle section, where I then am trying to get them across the water and onto the colored buttons? If this is correct, then what's the secret to keeping them in a line or at least all going the same direction??

1) You only need 7 crabs not 8.
2) You need to follow the left side.

Hope this info helps!

True, Yutoma, in fact it's harder to do with all 8 than with just 7.

To keep them in line, they walk up to the buttons and you blink back and forth so you don't step on that button 7 rainbow buttons covered. taking it one step at a time helps too. Then when you've got them, blink to that diamond button to trap them all.

I don't understand what is meant by "follow the left side." I also don't see a rainbow button. Right now my biggest problem is getting all 7 of them across the water without anyone stepping on the diamond button and causing several to drown.

Walk all the way across the bottom of the adventure and then up the left side and then to the right into the area where the crabs are. Wrangle them all and have them follow you out (the way you came in) but turn up, and walk all the way to the top, before you start back down, go slowly to make sure at least 7 are following you.

PS:
There is no rainbow button. I believe she meant the seven buttons that are each a color of the rainbow.

First, not rainbow button, rainbow buttons. Sorry I was being unclear. I meant the string of buttons that look like a rainbow because they are all in rainbow order.

Janet is right about left side. But I'd change the "at least 7" to "ONLY 7," because I found it MUCH harder to do with all 8 crabs. Leading them back around the far left step by step helps keep them together. If you go to fast, the back of the line will try to catch you by running up and back into the fire. Same if you go too slowly.

And let them step on the diamond buttons and drown. They are crabs. Push the button again to pop them back out of the water. I had to push those buttons probably 7 or 8 times because the little boogers kept walking all over. But they only fall into the water. Unlike Stinkers, they CAN swim and will pop back up if you lift them out with a bridge.

Good luck.

Duh!!!

I always miss the most obvious things!!! Like--they are crabs, and they haven't drowned. Pitiful. . . lol I actually was doing that thing about the left side already--except I was blinking across, when I could have walked around. Thanks! I'll keep at it!

When I was doing this I actually managed to kill several crabs by lifting the bridge while a crab was on a crab, because the will walk over the ones that 'drown'. This bit took me an age to get right. And the reason you only want 7 crabs over there is because if there are 8 the last one will sit on the bridge in front of the buttons and go in the water when you drop the bridge, BUT when you blink over, whichever crab is above him can walk over him and get off the button, therefore making it impossible for you to get out.

I actually find it easier to do it with 8 because I always seem to kill at least one crab in the process of getting them to the buttons.
