Hope it's not full of mistakes, but I've got a bad cold at the moment and my brain isn't working too well.

I'm working on it Liz, I may need a hint to get going in the right direction.
Maybe the first 5 or so moves.

I'm working, too, Liz. I'm eager to see the hints that Kiki asked for.

I was somewhat confused as well but then I wondered if I wasn't making it harder than I needed to and it turns out I was.

A fun level Liz, thank-you!

Wow this snake actually bites

and his tail is lethal too

I had to do this dozens of times once I figured out what you wanted us to do.

This was so much fun to work thru Liz, ace puzzler, thank you!!!

I sure hope you feel better soon!!!

I'll send you a starting nudge Kiki and Anne, Liz may be laying down

Great level Liz!
I really loved this one. I couldn't stop playing until I got it all figured out.

Thanks so much for the fun!

Hi Keeks and anyone else who needs hints.

The first objective is to cover the green button, and later to destroy that same boulder which is covering it.

Here are the opening moves:

1. Jump up, right and push boulder left to land on green button. Follow boulder and push keg left into water. Collect coins and jump left over tramp. Jump when the z-bot hits the coin. This takes timing.
2. Grab the coin below the other z-bot and go thru red TP, push barrel down and collect bonus. Push left barrel up into water. Back thru TP to push top keg left onto sunken keg. Back again to push it up into water. Back thru TP and down over breaktile. Push right keg up and left onto sunken barrel. Push bottom keg left to travel up on the raft. Back thru TP, last keg up into water. Get on raft, push boulder down to create block in water, collect coins and ride up to push the keg up onto the conveyor.

More to follow if needed.

That did the trick for me Liz, Thanks!
I love the way it all came together, at first glance I was like this->

but with your hint and hint about the keg placement I was able to sort the rest out.
Ace level!

Great level. Thanks.

I know a few of you have found another way to do it. I'll have to try this myself.

Never mind - I knew it would be full of holes.

As long as you got some fun out of it, that's all that matters.

Here's the rest of the walkthrough the way I would have done it

3. Walk right, push sphere in boulder right and boulder up into water. Walk right across timer again. Push box left and down into left water. Walk down to bonus coin and wait for yellow sphere to slide back. Push it up into the water. Step on timer again and round the top to push the keg down and right. Back round the top to push the keg down beside the conveyor. Step on timer, get coin on conveyor and push keg right and down the trampoline to (take care with cannon). Keg blows up boulder on green button.
4. Boulder generator top left is activated so the yellow gate is open. Jump down below the cannon and push it up and left. Wait until the last boulder stops and push the cannon round the ice and one left. Step up on the breaktile, walk left and push the boulder down. Step on breaktile again and push the new boulder down (don’t step on that breaktile again until the end). Quickly push the cannon left and down the alley to blow up the boxes, the z-bots and the prisms. Now push it down beside the reflector to activate the white timer/prism generator.
5. The boulder has returned to the top of the ice. Step on the lava breaktile at the top of the wall, slide across the ice and up onto the yellow timer to push the boulder left and into the lava. Step up onto the floor tiles at the top (still avoiding that top breaktile) and go down cannon alley when it’s safe.
6. Collect all the coins on the right, avoiding the yellow snake. Walk up, avoiding all rolling items, back onto that final breaktile, down the ice and right to the exit.

Fun level, Liz. Thanks so much! And thanks to Cathy for the two PMs.

Hi Liz
The first two steps of your walkthrough were golden. Made the rest alone and had this well known Lucky-Luke-feeling: To fight for my gun and to bring it along all my way...

Thanks for a super level.

Here's the B version of the level which I hope fixes the shortcut - a simple switch of red gate to green at the top of the water. I did have a green gate there in earlier versions of the level. Don't know why I changed it.

I'm proud to say I got this without any hints. It was a fun pretty easy level. Thanks

This was a hard one. I ended up doing it differently than Liz (activated boulders only towards the end, first filled the water with barrels instead).

Thanks for the fun!
