Use the boulder and 2 metal boxes to destroy the wooden boxes.

Save enough wooden boxes to build bridges to the bonus coins. Easiest way is to destroy a couple of alternate lines of boxes, leaving one line free to be moved.

Make sure all the pink buttons are free of boxes.

Grab bonus coins.

Walk home.

Piece of cake.

Hi,
Got that far, but to walk home, you have to get past 2 cannons firing as you walk round.
I keep getting killed.

[tessa123123]

Think I have got it - just need to time the waiting inbetween the 2 shots and then I can make it.

Ahh - the penny has ddropped about having to collect all the boxes off the buttons!

Well done.

I'm happy to have helped.

YOu need to roll the boulder and destroy the wood boxs. However you need to postiton the steel box to stop the boulder. Repeat untill all wood boxs are destroyed. This will block the cannonfire. The walk to the goal.

Thank you very much for the tip/s. Very gracious of you to take time to post. Helped me complete this level.

Also, thanks so much to Midnight Synergy .. Bought this game a very long time ago and played and played and played and still play and do not seem to ever get tired of it, or bored with it!

What excellence in making the levels. I shake my head in wonder at the brilliance! Very excellently done, Midnight Synergy.

Maybe this isn't my buisseness(however you spell that), but you just woke up a topic that is five years old.

Indeed, it isn't. If someone wants to thank someone else, that's OK, even if it's 100 years later.

You don't actually need to close those gates. Just get the bonuses the shortest way you can and then time your movements right to pass the cannons unharmed. Saves a hefty amount of time if you're playing for speed.

If you do NOT get the bonus coins, you can beat the level in 15 seconds.

I agree, though. Closing the gates makes it a lot easier. I never close them, though -- the level is just too easy if you do close them. Playing for speed keeps it a challenge.

Muzo, I don't remember that I have played this level, but you make me a bit curious by telling this. So maybe I'll try it one of these days.
BTW, what's in your signature, some kind of riddle or so?

SM (Actually I like SM but I find it a little bit strange to use it as a username. Please don't feel insulted by this, I'm a bit in a funny mood) I really hope you're not discouraged to post on this forum while someone told you you were waking up an old topic. When you really have to say something, please say it, even after years. (rather then someone who has nothing to say and says it within minutes)

[LittleZbot]

I'm sorry if I caused trouble or something. I... just... I don't know. I just felt like mentioning that.

[Marinus]

Thanks for saying that Little Zbot

Try it. It's not actually very hard, you just have to figure out the rhythm.

BTW, what's in your signature, some kind of riddle or so?

Well, kinda... it's a coded message. It's Higurashi-related and Higurashi (the anime) deserves a bit of mystery, so I crafted a coded message for it. Nothing behind it, though. Just a small message. And yes, I'm totally Higurashi-obsessed to the point of wanting the original visual novels.

I really hope you're not discouraged to post on this forum while someone told you you were waking up an old topic. When you really have to say something, please say it, even after years. (rather then someone who has nothing to say and says it within minutes)

Agree wholeheartedly.

I don't recognize the word "Higurashi", but I think I will look it up. Thanks.

[Muzozavr]

I don't recognize the word "Higurashi", but I think I will look it up. Thanks.

Me, TheoX and Qloof234 have a "Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni" thread in off-topic. It's really freaking scary. The plot is totally awesome, but you don't get THAT until the second season, where they explain what happened in the first and the whole thing suddenly becomes that much more epic.

You're probably right. It took me 2 or 3 seconds more, which is good enough for me.

But if I'm right, if someone plays it that fast way, (with the timer on) without having a gold star before, he/she cannot get the gold star anymore. But I had played it before, and very probably with closing the gate.

It took me a while before I found the level for I didn't know in which world it was. Just in case:

Actually, there are enough bonus coins to make your score bigger, so you can still get a gold star. Just don't be too slow.

(For those who are wondering: there's a nasty oversight in the game. If you beat a level without bonus coins but do it fast enough so that getting the bonus coins does NOT improve your score... you cannot get the "perfect" gold star on that level anymore. Can happen on Mark's "Hallucination" (I think it was that level) where you can exit the level immediately if you don't get the bonus coins)
