This took me a long time to work out, especially the beginning! I tried numerous combinations before I hit the right one and then I still had some other obstacles to overcome!
I agree with Bob! This was one tough cookie to crack! I knew what I wanted to do but it took eons to work out the beginning and then do the other things in the right order! Excellent brain teaser, Kaz!
I was going in the totally wrong direction in the beginning for most of the day. Then I made what I thought was a mistake and low and behold if the end wasn't exactly what I'd been trying to get all along!
1. Don't push the barrel onto the ice - park it beforehand, collect bonus coin and push the boulder onto the ice so it swerves round and explodes on the barrel.
2. Wait a while then dodging boulders, collect coins on pink and yellow button.
3. Position ice block just to the left of the ice - timing required - push it down and leap out of the way. One boulder will end up against the ice block in front of the yellow button, the other will end up against the wall in front of the pink button.
4. You can now progress to the rest of the level via the transporter.
Wowzier, Kazza, that was one toughie The action never stopped from beginning to end -- my poor ole fingers are worn to the bone, but I enjoyed every minute. Another excellent workout.
Excellent Needed your spoiler to get started and then you had me standing in front of those gates
So glad I finally found all the coins I didoed into the exit. Thanks for the fun
Hi Lizzie - follow instructions as earlier spoiler then ...
1. Don't move the ice block yet
2. Z-bot is circling two steel boxes - chuck them on the conveyor, then follow them (it's quite safe) and collect the 3 coins.
3. Push yellow boulder north - then follow it
4. You won't need that ice block any more - best get rid of it
5. Yellow boulder will stop against the wall allowing you to push it up, then left - then leg it back through the TP to get through the green gate. Don't hang about but there is plenty of time.
Thanks so much Kaz! That was a wonderful puzzle, and for me all the difficulty hinged on that plasma block. I didn't know where to push it to stop the boulders for the buttons and I got rid of it too soon for the yellow boulder
I have truly worked on this many, many times. I was determined to get the beginning myself, but I just could not figure it out. So, I came to look at your cheat, and I was completely on the wrong track. I don't know when I would have thought of that!
A brilliant puzzle, indeed! The ending wasn't so bad, once the beginning was figured out. Thanks for a challenging level! You got the better of me!
