This started life as a 'kid's level' but it became apparent quickly that it wasn't. :shock: :lol:

Great level!
Thanks for the challenge.

Okay. :D
left boulder up, when it rolls up over the light blue button you can tramp up and so can the other boulder

Definitaly not! But since you said it started as a kids level, it encouraged me to give it a try.

Sorry I didn't play many of your levels lately. Mostly I'm not able to understand them completely even if I can reach the exit with a gold star. Maybe I'll try to play more of them one of these days.

This one was really fun to figure out with many surprising puzzles. Most things became clear after some trying. Thanks! :D

As far as I can tell, so far I should:
1. Push boulder up into trampoline.
2.With timing, jump onto tramp while the boulder is next to Loof and jump down below the indigo gate.
3.With PRECISE timing, push boulder below the second tramp onto the tramp and put the three boulders on the blue and indigo buttons w/ the third in between.
4.Bring travelator around to ice curve w/ coin and grab the coin, then push lower boulder onto conveyor.
5.Push the secret green sphere left and wait for it to go into the water, then step right and do the same with the boulder.
6.Push keg 1 left, then with timing push box up to destroy the Kaboom!s.
That's as far as I can figure out without messing up. Any hints? :?

At the start the light blue button is the key, when a boulder rolls over it Loof can jump and the lower boulder can be pushed up, the timing shouldn't be that tricky, I hope. :D

As for the kabooms, one blows up the keg and box, the other blows the two kegs by the white tp. To do this a boulder and sphere fill the water, then grab that coin allowing a boomer to go right, then push the remaining boulder right when the other boomer is just at the top left of his march on the green buttons.

Hope that helps.

It's about time I could finish one of your levels after ages :shock: :lol:
Needed your hint for the light blue button and was on the wrong track with the kabooms, too :roll:
Figured the rest out on my own although I needed a few restarts to fill the water below the white TP.
I've no idea how this could have been a kids' level ever :shock:
Thanks for another gold star :D

After getting kicked around and your hint for the boomers I made it home, the start was the easiest for me, one of my favorite boulder tricks.
Thanks for the level buddy. :)

Surprisingly I still can't do this one! :roll: :oops: :lol:

I've been kicking it around, and kicking myself for all the mess-ups I've made.

Actually managed to work out the whole first part by myself.

Now I can't get the coin up the ice from the white TP and I keep getting flattened when I try to get the green sphere from the top down there somehow, though what else I'm going to put in that waterhole I really don't know ... :?

Completely stumped, bumped and bruised. :cry:

Transport over to the boulder on the raft, push it right and quickly step up and stay on the button until the boulder goes through the green gates.
Raft right and step right onto the ice and into the fake wall, slide up for the bonus coin.
Take the last raft right, onto the ice and green sphere up.
The boulder and the green sphere both go in the water below the white tp so make sure the conveyor arrow is pointing right at the ice circle before you push them through the blue tp.

I have got to start making levels that aren't so bloody complicated! :oops:

Oh boy! At last I finished it! A very very difficult level full of clever and intricate puzzles. I'd never have made it without help.

Hundreds of tries, hundreds of times getting bouldered, kaboomed, stuck on ice, blown up, etc. Hubby got yelled at because I was almost at the finish and he spoke to me and I smashed a vital sphere in a green gate :evil: "DO NOT DARE SPEAK TO ME NOW!" Hope he speaks to me later :(

So I'm not sure if I can thank you for this one Mr Roest. I'll have to see if I still have a marriage :wink:
