This was a tough one Lillie!

It's taken me ages to work it out. Finally got it sussed. I remember this trick from one of Malc's levels in WSW (Shan't say which one in case I give the game away

)

Excellent fun, and a great looking level as always.

What a clever and intriguing level. The only help I got on this was Lillie telling me my approach was COMPLETELY wrong

.. certainly made me think.

Surprisingly simple once you've got past the "how on earth do i .... " stage.

Great stuff girlie

thanks for the hint Lillie, I was doing everything but what I was suppose to be doing. Anyway that was a spot of bloody genius, Great level like Kaz said it was surprisingly easy after you get by that start. thanks again for a Lillie brilliant level.

Lillian, I had just about given up on this level, then I read the thread. Forced myself to think differently about the solution and figured it out! Very clever

Once you work out just one thing that needs to be done in the first bit - this is easy peasy lemon squeazy! So if anyone needs a clue - please just ask!

Lillian,
I have been enjoying this level as I do all your levelsl making you one of my favourite designers.
Now, in this level, I've doused the four flames around the blue trasporter, entered this transorter from the right side to enter the red transporter and thereby collecting one coin. Then I used two more boxes to collect the second coin alongside. Where I am stumped is the finish. I am so devoid of my nect move that I feel as though my hands are tied behind my back.
I would sure like to know how to solve that last blue ball (can't think of the technical name off hand).

Thank you very much for your comments Armando - you are very sweet. I had to replay it quite a few times to remember how on earth I did it

When you say you "doused the flames" and entered the blue TP from the right - that is wrong! You must never enter the blue TP. If you see the screenshot - you must get the first four z-bots to douse the flames and the next four to keep going around the blue TP. This blocks the TP.

There are 9 Z-bots in total (4 for the flames, 4 for the TP) The last one z-bot must be kept circling around the level to keep the conveyor timer switch activated for you to place a grey box on the red button.

You can then get rid of the circling z-bot by using a grey box and water tile (top middle).

You can then bring the barrel to the blue TP (see screenshot). Push the barrel onto the blue TP and stand back quickly but do not follow it. This will kill the remaining z-bot and allow you to enter the red TP from the top.

Hope that helps. It was quite a hard level - I am sorry. Please ask again if you don't understand.

Good luck

Armando - this is how to get the Z-bots into the TP area. When eight have gone in, quickly push the box one square to the left and this will trap the remaining z-bot.

thanks lilliepad I have been doing wrong too. Your ears must be ringing.

sorry for the fowl @#!^%&$#.

you know thats not me,
It's the little

that comes out every once in a while.

Hi Lillian,
What a clever girl you are!!!!
I finished the level after about three tries and with your terrific hints. I felt pretty smug in dousing the four flames and then I sacrificed all but one of the other z-bots, but I see where I was away off base. I repeatedly tried this level "my way" and couldn't seem to get out of the mold. Finishing with your help gave me some satisfaction

but not the 100% satisfaction that doing it without help would have brought me

Once again, thanks for your prompt reply and keep the levels coming as they are terrific.
Armando

Thanks for the spoiler, Lillie! I would never have gotten this one without it. The only thing I was doing right was the box on the red button. The rest of the things I did was completely wrong. It is a real pleasure to have completed this one. Great fun!

You are such a purist

I'm just thrilled to get another one done - any old how ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Thanks so much Lillie. There's no way I was going to manage this without some help.
Still took me a fair number of tries to get it all put together - and my satisfaction
rate is way up there

Well done everyone and thanks for your comments. I did borrow this trick from one of Malc's levels in WSW - The Void (with his permission of course)

Thanks again
