This one is for Anne Danner, who not only provides brilliant levels,
but beautiful textures for them. I'm using her new "Mossy" design.
Happy Puzzling!

Nice tribute to Anne.
Loved this all the way from the tricky travelating two step to the barrel/cube dilemma to the chomp dodging finish.
Ace all the way Mark, Thanks!

I need help with this one. I can get to the side with the first yellow chomper but can not figure out how to get the box into the water. I take the ice across with me for the button but it blocks my way so I know I have missed something. I think I need the blue sphere over there also but I can't get that over there either. Thanks for help please.

Hey Annie,
You don't need the blue sphere over there. Use the cube to blow out the fire down below then destroy it in the water.
Hope this is where you needed help.

Thanks Anne for the help. I should of known there was a secret item somewhere. I never went on to look. I just knew I had to cover the yellow button with something.

I recovre this one in my to-do-list.
I got the blue sphere rolling over the dark blue timer and can get the kegs in the water. But the cube is crushed by the rolling sphere, so I can't use it in the last rooms. Can anyone remember this one and help me please?!

I don't know how it's possible that the cube is destroyed, it never happened with me. Only the rolling sphere should be destroyed.
When the blue gate opened, I pushed the upper barrel left and the lower one right. Then I pushed the cube up to destroy the sphere. The cube should be still there.

Sorry, I still can't do it. You are right that the sphere is destroyed, but how do I move the barrels into the water. The only way I see, is to push the cube into the ater first. That's the problem1

After you destroyed the sphere:
- Enter TP and push left barrel 1 down.
- Enter left TP, getting coin and pushing cube 1 left. Then push it 1 up. (on the spheres in the water)
- Push left barrel 2 up, and step into right TP to push barrel right. Then push it up in the water.
- Push the other barrel down and left over the icecurves. Then the same way as the first barrel.
- Finally the cube down, right, 2 up, and right over tramp.
I hope this helps.
Edit: Changed a little part which was a bit confusing.

I thought I would try another of yours in my 'still to-do' file.
This one was fun and not overly difficult. I see I set the kegs up a little differently than Marinus did.
I found it easier to push the bottom keg left, then the top one right, then destroy the sphere. But hey, whatever works for you.
Thanks Mark, a few more still to get to.

To be honest, I can't imagine that you really found that easier.
If you first push the bottom keg left, you have to go through the TP, while the sphere is still rolling there, to go to the left side of the top one.
Also, when you have pushed the top keg right, it is directly below the TP, so how do you get it away from that place?

I just realized that what you're calling the upper keg, I'm calling the bottom keg because I'm thinking of it from the perspective of the character! In fact we're moving the same kegs exactly the same way!
Note to anyone interested: As long as one keg is not directly below the right side tp you'll be fine!

I had the idea that we had a different meaning of left and right, or top and bottom.

I'm not quite sure what's the perspective of the character; then I would say the nearby, or far away, but I think that's ok. I'm talking about the top and bottom of my computer-screen. Some people talk about North or South, but it seems that's also confusing sometimes. Good we did it the same way.
