A coproduction from Bob and me - a bit tricky in parts but you wouldn't expect anything else
The brick texture is Mette's. Thanks
The one who first finds the deeper meaning of the level title wins a dinner with me (but
you have to travel

).
The cooperation with you was a pleasure, Bob
And now have fun

Well I don't know the "deeper" meaning of the title and I am a little lightheaded to think about it right now. I realized that when I got to the end of this one I forgot to breath. This was fantastic all the way through. That beginning was a doozy. I can even tell you how many times I died through it all, but I did get the gold. Thanks for a fantastic coproduction.

I'm still working on this gem but I'm gonna send you my guess as to the "deeper meaning".
Maybe I'll be back with the gold
What a treat this is........off to try my luck

Wow, Chickie, you're quick
Cathy, got your PM, but probably it's more fun for all when you discuss

That's wrong

Excellent puzzling guys, I had the hardest time with my timing at the start, Great beginning!
I really liked the right side moves with the box and sphere.
Deeper meaning, The only thing that comes to mind is "What lies beneath"
Or "Board room drama"
Nice collaboration, thanks for the fun!

If you're trying to get the box, go at it from the right side.
BTW, nice job on deciphering the anagram. I'll buy you dinner as well, there's a nice litttle place here in Toronto that I like. Let me know when and I'll make reservations. Bring Stan and we'll make a party out of it!

I think this is really cruel.

Canada & Germany? Seems to me like WW2.

Lutz I was thinking you don't like those tricky quickfinger / milliseconds timing things either and now you're doing this to someone else?
BTW England & Germany;

Enjoy your dinner together and have a good time.

I can get the first part, tried the second and landed on u-know-what. rattled me so bad I had to quit for a bit, but I'll give it another try later. You two sure put your heads together on this one. Stinkeroonie is right.
Edit: Awesome you two, once I played that first part a gazillion times I found the rest easy. This was so much fun, you both did a bang up job, I enjoyed every last restart but I enjoyed the ride to the end more. Now to go soak poor Stinky's feet.
Thanks you Bob and Lutz for a great collaboration.

Well Lizzie, there's no secret way to handle the first section. I'm afraid you have to get the timing right...sorry, hon.

Sorry, Liz, that goobie part is mine
Here's how I do it after collecting the coins:
Last coin you collect is the one on the water where the goobs fall down.
Grab the coin and step down.
Now you have to push up the pink cube. When it hits the 2nd tramp wait a moment (not too long and not to short) - then follow and jump up and down. Push goob into water and repeat.

I too played with the sound off for the first part. Then I realized I could get my timing down if I could see and hear when the goobs were being spit out and when they landed. It helped me but that doesn't mean much hehehe

I'm still staggering round in a daze here.
I can now do the first bit about 1 time in 5, so that's an improvement, YES?
But now I'm totally stuck. I can't see what I'm supposed to do. What I've done is obviously wrong, but I can't go fast enough to push that red sphere up or down, which I suppose is what I should do, YES/NO?

Let me replay it and I'll get right back to you.
Okay, once you get past Lutz's sinister goob machine push the keg one tile right then walk down and around it, grab the coins tramp up and back.
Now send the keg up and it will take care of the UFO.
Follow the keg, walk up and push the box into the water and take the coin on your left, you'll slide back down.
Tramp back up and right and push the lower keg up and onto the ice flow, it will destroy the top boulder, wait a bit for the red gate to open then slide up and push the boulder into the water.
The box is easily attainable by coming at it from the top right and then it too goes in the drink.
Need more, just whistle!

You must be getting well tired of me!!!!!
I was doing all the first part right, up to pushing the boulder down into the water. Now I've done that.
As you can see from the screenshot, I've pushed the boulder and the box into the drink, but still have nothing to put in the lower waterhole to get across to the right hand side. I went back and destroyed the next circulating boulder in the hope that something else would happen, or that I could push a pink cube to the right, but no luck.

Hi Liz.
As far I can see the boulder that came from the bottom of the gen has gone into the wrong direction. For the 2 direction conveyor is now to the right so the boulder has gone to the left. If that boulder was gone to the right then were on the place where Stinky stands now 2 boulders and you could push the wood in the lower water.
I hope this helps

Thanks so much Marinus and Lillie! I can see what I'm doing wrong now.
I'll give it a try and then get back to you after about the next 5 moves
