This is a revised version of "Another Fine Mess".
Hopefully a bit more challenging than it's predecessor.

"a bit more"?
A lot more!
I twisted my brains with covering those buttons. Finally I started thinking outside the box and got my coins.
Great puzzle, Mark. Thanks for the fun

I'm still twisting my brain

as usual with your levels. But I can't see what changes you've made from the first one?

Still working at this one; I've gotten as far as collecting all the coins, but then I can't jump to the exit. Will keep working on it.

Let's see, I removed a tree and flower. Relocated the white button.
Then added a box, coins, break-tiles and two buttons with gates.

You evil
I cannot cover the three bottom buttons, I can only cover two. If I collect all the coins with covering only two, then I can't get to the exit?!
Just tell me "yeah, you need to cover all three" or "nope, get to the exit!"

The name of game is always "Get to the exit!"
Lutz provided the best clue to solving the button puzzle.

I know to think outside the box (and inside something else) but still I only get two objects for three buttons.

Oh
And how could she not see that, you might ask? Answere; she's a dork.
I downloaded Mark125, and next time I'm in WF, I see a revised version, so I renamed the new one Mark125b. Played them both, well, tried to, and then read some more about changes...Get the picture?
So,
does the phrase "think outside the box" means anything to you? Cos it sure doesn't mean anything to me

The funniest part is that I cannot be proud for solving it with no hints cause Mark PMed me two hints, but I already knew them!
It was the way I started the boulder generator that blocked my progress much, much later on.
What an ingenious(ly evil) level!

Hey Everyone,
I have this level all done except for either the coin at either the blue or yellow gate. May I please have some help?

There is another way to get the coin behind the yellow gate.
First roll two boulders north.

Whew! Talk about only one way to get things done! Thanks for the help in the PM, Mark. This is a sense of accomplishment for me.

I couldn't find "Another Fine Mess", but I'm sure in one with this level!
I've managed to get all the coins except the one behind the turquoise gate. I have been thinking outside the box but haven't been able
to build my bridge around the corner
.
Of course, I may be on completely the wrong track.
Any hints please?

Pretty please?

Hi Liz, here are some hints:
Bounce the boulder at the Z-bot when he is over the green button.
This way a new boulder will be generated with the gate open.
Now roll two boulders up into the water beside the trampoline.
Push the two boxes in the water, the second box will bounce on the trampoline allowing you to turn a corner.

Aha!! I couldn't figure out how to keep the green gate open so I could roll the boulders up! Thanks for posting the hint, it made the light come on and I made it to the exit!

Thanks for this hint Mark. I'd never have thought of it myself, because it took about 20 tries just to get the timing right to do it.
And then I couldn't exit for a couple more goes (i.e. about 40 more tries because of the beginning!

).
Excellent level Mark. Perfectly planned as always.

I'm happy to report that I was completely lost on this, I had thought about destroying something on the green button and I tried the z-bot but after three attempts I simply wasn't fast enough so I gave up and looked for another way, I thought I almost had one, but nope!
Now I see from the video that I just had to be faster!
Hell of a puzzle Mark, I will console myself with the fact that you can't win 'em all

I was away solving Mark's DERANGED and TERMITEDUST2:
I promised him to solve it in a year - it took about half that time.
Compared to the above, "In Exile" which I just did was a breeze (took less than an hour) - and it was good fun too.
I hope that now Mark will present his two masterpieces to the world as well (they are variations: once you solve the one it is not too difficult to solve the other)!

Less than an hour?
You are brilliant -- truly.
