New Level - Modus Operandi *

The title is Latin for "Method of Operation"
Translated it means "Sneaky Does It"

Even after peeking in the editor, I have no clue what to do, because I found that little trick of you without the editor. How to put it together -- that's the question.

EDIT: No wait -- I think I have a lightbulb!

Howdy dowdy -- that maneuver was sneaky (and I'm not talking about hidden trick) I would have thought about everything but THAT.
Didn't believe that Peegue can move so fast at the blue button problem but it turned out to be okay.
Loved this level -- keep em coming!

This had me stumped for a good while trying to figure out how to cover the blue button, I was afraid things wouldn't exactly go my way

but I tried it anyway because I couldn't think of anything else...and it worked!

Nifty move near the end, thanks Mark!

Excellent mind bender Mark,

I was trying the impossible for the longest time, (trying the impossible has worked many times in your past levels)

Decided to try something else, Just to see waht happened and I was not disappointed,

I forgot about the one thing, but was pleasantly surprised to having my memory refreshed.

Ace challenge, Thanks!

What an amazingly beautiful level (as usual, Mark!)

Took me about 45 minutes to solve. At the end I thought I was stuck because of those bonus coins, but having nothing to lose, I pushed the blue ball - and it went right through them (why???)!

I first noticed this glitch a year ago when designing "Too Close For Comfort" .
The game checks for a collision when refreshing each frame.
A moving transporter does not detect coins more than one tile away, so it passes through them.

I've been trying this for ages and I still can't see how to cover the blue button! No surprises there though

You guys are so clever to solve this one.

Here are two hints:
The barrel has something inside it.
The reflector is used 3 different ways, but not with the cannon.

I also sent you a private message.

Thanks so much for the help Mark - I was doing quite a few things right, but sadly too many things wrong!

Absolutely brilliant level - that reflector was the key piece of equipment.

Loved it, even though I needed so much help with the solution.

I have been working on this one for ages Mark!

I finally had to give up and watch the video! The simpleness and cleverness of your levels always amazes me! I just wish my brain was clever enough to work them out!

Excellent as always - many thanks!
