I had a lot of problems with those green spheres, I even looked under the cube but it didn't seem to help me much. I think I had the set-up wrong.

Eventually managed to straighten things out and ended up with a crock of gold!

Lots of fun, thanks Lizzie!

This was a difficult one, took me several hours:

I could not follow the instructions for the green spheres because no sphere could be pushed right.

I ended up getting to the right side in two different ways.

The first time, I used quick maneouvers of the cannon to control the green spheres. The second time was completely different - I used the cannon and the two prisms to destroy the 3 boxes on the top right, then drowned there one prism and the cannon (for the bonus).

Also, I see no use for the prism on the break-tile - it stayed there till the end, doing nothing.

I still don't know how to do it in the "intended" way.

I think I need a teensy little hint for the first part. Where exactly, do the two blue spheres go? On the two buttons in the first room? Then the cannon should shoot some of the boxes, but leave only one in that row? That's wrong I'm sure of it! Oh Geez, I thought this was going to be easy Lizzie...now why isn't this easy?

It sure is pretty though.

Yes, the blue spheres go on the two buttons in the first room. Yes, the cannon should shoot some of the boxes, and it is possible to complete this level leaving only one box in that row - but is much easier later on if you leave two!

Hi Amnon

Thank you for the help.

But...

where do I put the cannon, to shoot the boxes? Does it go on the travelator, or the box I've pushed into the water? And does the box go into the water above the travelator, or below it? Then how do I get it out of the way so it stops shooting the boxes, because I want to have two boxes left?

Honestly, if I'm too much trouble, just ignore me and maybe I'll go away.

The box does not go in the water - it must be destroyed by the cannon, then the cannon goes on the travelator. Once the cannon is in place, you don't take it out of the way (until much later), but rather push the boxes away from its path

Update: I found a way to save the first wooden box - but it is much harder, and there will be enough boxes later anyway.

Holy Moly Doozeroony! This was GREAT Stuff Lizzie! I spent a few tries gettin' the blue sphere section right. Then I was using the wrong things in the wrong way in the next section. Wow those were really unexpected maneuvers!

Tyler was determined to get this level before he went to bed but it was getting too late so I made him leave before getting it done hehe

He got out but didn't get the one bonus coin up in the hallway near the box generator.

I got out with my GOLD! I'm so excited to finish this without any help! I was so ready to give in for awhile there. I oops in one part and found it wasn't an oops and the rest fell into place. I too didn't use that one reflector that's on the break tile near the red button, I also didn't use the cubie that the sphere directions were on. But I utilized every single other piece of stuff!

Thanks for this Lizzie and boy you are totally back and on a roll! I love it!

Update: I made it without moving a single prism.

It is in fact faster this way - took just 1:53

Sent ya a PM Dizzy Wizzy

Well as usual there are a hundred ways to do one of my levels!

Great stuff everyone. Here are a few hints about how I did it:

1. The two blue spheres go on the two blue buttons by leaving the raft at the top and pushing the right sphere up. Now push the cannon 1 space up and the box into the water above the raft. Use the cannon to block the right sphere when pushing the other one left. Then push cannon down 1 and use the TP to push it onto the raft. Push the cannon down to the next section, pushing it right over the tramp when you can. Leave the last box to push into the lower waterhole.

2. The cannon lands by the reflectors and shoots the boxes by the bonus coins (via that top reflector) and is then pushed left through the red TP. Use the 2 lower reflectors to fill the waterhole by the red button. You need to use the red TP to help with this.

3. Tramp right and down. Box in water, green sphere up. Then spheres right and down. Red button is covered, green timer is activated. Last sphere goes right and up to smash boxes. Cannon goes up to fill the waterhole and get the bonus. This sunken cannon then creates a magical effect with disappearing boxes in the water!

So that was my game plan!

If anyone needs any more help, just yell!

Wow great plan Lizzie! I think my way was much harder

Anyway it's done it is great fun!

Bejazus and begorrah Lizzie - that was a toughie

I need a pint of Guiness now!

I had to use your spoiler - thanks for posting it! I still don't get how you can cover the red button by pushing the green sphere's up and right!

I used the cannon on the red button in the end

Looked brilliant honey as always and a real joy to work through!

Cheers!

Oh, how I didn't see your first move Liz!

With this first move, my best time is down to 1:36

Some differences: A wood-box goes into the water-hole, followed by the cannon on the red button. Another wood-box goes into the water hole by the bonus-point.

That might be true but I did this exactly as you planned it!

I knew my set-up had been wrong with the wood box/cannon and when I re-visited that area it all came together.

WOW Lizzie!

What a fantastic puzzle. You're so great at these. Thanks to Amnon, Tootsie-pop Bobbin and your hint Liz (I finally got it using your entire walk-through)

Don't think I could've done it without help. It was all very magical.

Thanks for the Fun!

Thanks for the hint with the blue spheres, Liz. Must have been blind

Found my gold after a few more tries.
Thanks for the fun

Thanks for the fun level. Cool texture & models.

I'm kicking myself over this one. I was doing the beginning entirely different so therefore I had a lot of trouble with the green spheres. Once I did it your way I had a lot of trouble with the boxes, mostly trying to get one in the upper left corner so I could exit...wellll let me tell you getting to the exit was a lot easier than I thought...big DUH on my part. Great level, thanks
