I could complete this level but without coins. How do I get those coins? No matter how fast my stinker can go I'm frozen right beside the teleporter.

I cant get past the bridge. Help?

To pass the bridge:
You need to put FLOs in the water each side of the bridge, and do it fast before the bridge collapses.
After that I haven't got a clue, so hints would be most apretiated. :wink:

Salin, you can get through the start with two Floing spells left. :wink:
Place Floings on both sides of the passage for the first three tiles, but on the last, place one in the center.

I got through with 3 floings left.
Before stepping on the collapsing bridge, floing at the 3rd square where the ice shoots. Then charge again and do what others did.

I used 2 floings to get gems, put last floing in front of the flower(make sure the flower doesn't shoot into it, or it could burst too soon!).

Then I charged grow, freezed the ice flower by reflecting the ice. Then charged pow and aim it through the floing bubble.

Then run, pop blue button, teleport, and when I'm teleported the pow hits the ice flower.

The hidden tunnel is where the cyan teleporter pops up.

Then I got the scritter to the bridge button, and using an ice walls, the iceball from the ice flower hits the scritter.
And after that I dunno how to get the coins without getting frozen.

I haven't completed this level, but I do know one thing:
Don't kill the Ice Flower!
Maybe I'll try this level again...

Erwin you should've read sewels solution for the entrance. It's brilliant.

After that ;i'm gonna give you a major WALKTHROUGH, WARNING!!!!!!!


oR MAYBE JUST A SMALL ONE. i KNOW YOU LIKE TO FIGURE OUT THINGS BY YOUSELF, SO i'LL GET YOU GOING. ok? (capslock, can't be a*** to re-writ)
If you startd as sewel said, you now have three FLO, use 2 of them on scritter. Line up so you can put a Flo EAST of iceflower. Run to get POW, shoot barrels. Follow yellow path. Now see what you can do
Just yell :lol:

I'm having serious problems with the last part of Sewel's suggestion ...

Have I missed a square somewhere?! (Maybe I'll go get in the bath, see if that fixes it! ) :)

Well, no bath, but yes I had missed a square, and finally I'm there.

Glad it isn't timed though ... I'm showing 28 minutes 19 seconds!!! No bonus points for me. :oops:

Did anyone ever mention how to get the coins?

I just got here. I'm just starting it. Got all the way to the end, but missed a step. And I know which one. But I haven't puzzled out the way around it yet. I've got 3 or 4 days before I need a hint. (Or less :oops: )

Why that floing bubble east of flower? With what in it?
Where do I stand to put that grow behind the flower's back in the water so I can walk on the path?
I have the gems.
How do I ice the flower?

I got the star but no coins. How do you get those?

And I still don't have answers to my questions above.

Erwin, to get the coins you:
Have to put the scritter on the blue button and then use the ice flower to freeze him there by reflecting an iceshot into that area. When I did this the first time, I was getting rid of the ice flower too early, so I could go get the scritter, but you can't do that.
Here are hints, not total spoilers:
1. Use the ice flower to freeze himself so you can get the scritter out. He'll have to shoot at you, but the iceball goes back and hits himself.

2. You'll have to unfreeze him in order for him to freeze the scritter for you. Only one spell to do that, but how and when you actually cast it is the trick.

3. You'll have to refreeze the ice flower to get the coins. The blue button that scritter sits on controls the way to the exit, but also the way to and from the coins.

4. At one point, you'll have a well placed Floing bubble that contains three spells - two of one kind and one of another.

Still I don't know where that iceball from the ice flower has to be reflected on! Before which ice pillar do I need to stand?

Can you reveal what power to put in the bubble and why?

I used my floing bubbles to get the gems. Wrong? And which ice do you hit to freeze the flower?

OK, Erwin, these are more hints. Not telling exactly where to put stuff, but with these hints and nudges and thinking processes, maybe you'll come up with the solution. You'll feel good about it. :D
You will place two Grows on the square ice at the top. When you stand behind them in the right spot, the flower shoots at you and freezes himself. Experiment with that. Since there are only 4 ice squares, your options are limited.

There are a few things that you need to do AFTER you have the scritter. However, after you've got him, you only have access to POP magic. So, the two spells you put into the Floing bubble are Grow and Pow.

Your basic plan should be:
1. Freeze the flower to get to the scritter.
2. POW the flower to unfreeze him so he can ...
3. Freeze the scritter.
4. Refreeze the flower so you can get the coins.

So, what goes into the Floing?
For sure a POW to unfreeze the flower.
And those two grows on ice are going to expire, so you'll need a couple more of those.

There are also timing issues. And while the Floing is holding those spells, you'll be casting other Grows and pows into real time. (I cast 4 Grows and 2 Pows) And you'll have to run like the wind to the scritter because the Floing bubble will break while you're in that hallway.

Then what do you use to get the gems behind the blue gates if you use floing for something else?
I think I'm really confused,
cause you need orange to blow barrels to get to scritter which then requires yellow for blue button, and you can't get back to orange to unfreeze flower.

I used
Floing Bubbles on the spikey ball to get the gems. One to trap him on the first button, and one to trap him on the second once I'm through the first gate.

Or, maybe you don't have enough Floings?

Did you know:
You can cross the bridge at the beginning with 3 Floing left over. :wink:
As for your confusion:
That's the purpose of the Floing bubble. To cast speels that you need to have happen later in the game. You DO need the flower frozen when you get the scritter and you WILL lose all magic but Yellow POP.

That's why you have to place all of your other spells in the Floing bubble aimed at where you want them BEFORE you go for the scritter.
Like, an Orange POW in the bubble so flower is frozen while you run to get the scritter. While you're running, the Floing will break and the POW will continue on path and unfreeze the flower.

Now, in order to refreeze the flower, you'd have to get another reflection thing going. More Grows just like you had them before, but later so they are still there. Ah.... another good reason to use Floing...
Enough with the cryptic hints? Or do you like this way of leading?

Yes, i got the 3 floings, got the gems just as described. Understand floing spells, but the green has lost me, especially if you have to freeze flower 2x.
