It's been a long while and I'm still suffering some chronic health issues.
This offering features a new visual glitch but requires no glitch to solve.

Have fun! :D

Great to see another Mark level! :D :D

I'm working on this one and have seen the mysterious appearance of one item, and have no idea how it got there!

At the moment I have a problem with the flame and the 2 wooden boxes by the white gates. Either I can open the gates but the boxes block me or I can dispose of the boxes leaving me nothing to cover the white button. I wish there was a secret invisible path so I could lure that chomper onto it :lol: :lol:

Thanks for another mystery.

Hope you feel better soon.

Hi Liz,

If you look to the right, you'll see it rise out of the floor and fly around before landing near you.

Exactly Mark! What a stunning effect. And how it was able to rise out of the floor is the enigma. 8) 8) 8)

I did it! YES!!!! :D :D :D

Thanks to one small hint from Mark about where that steel box should go (and that was another enigma in itself) I worked it out.

Fast fingers needed in a couple of places, and then I found my exit blocked :twisted: until I worked out how to get rid of the impediment.

What an ace puzzler Mark. Thanks for another mysterious masterpiece.

Something tells me a chomper is for something other than getting kilt and the metal box on the yellow button seems to easy. :wink:
I will keep at it later on. :)

Hint: The chompers are only decoration. Misdirection is the key here. :wink:

Boy, were you sneaky with this one, Mark. I enjoyed the tricks with the metal box. Thanks for another mind boggling level!

Of that I'm sure, I just ain't seeing it yet though.
Still trying! :)

I was pushing the cannon every way but the right way...well I pushed it the right way too but didn't put the other moves together.
Thanks for the push in the right direction Mark.
Ace misdirection, good to see you back my friend, I hope you feel better. :)

Bah, that's why I can't finish the level because the chomper blow up my barrel of wine :lol:

Great level!

I got so fixated on the misdirection, I didn't see the obvious solution.

Great fun.
Thanks!

I need help with this one. I am not smart enough to get it. I can move the cannon all over the place. I can move the box around also. I even destroyed it hoping to get more. I just can't get this one. Thanks for help

Solution

My good friend Marinus was kind enough to test this level and provide the following walk-through:
1. Push cannon 2 left. Barrel up on icecurves and immediately step right to get clock. Quickly push barrel 2 down and stand 2 above the other barrel to let chomper blow it up. Jump L to yellow button.

2. Go up through black TP and quickly step 1 down. (pushing invisible steelbox down over tramp) When chomper has blown up barrel on TP, quickly go up through TP and step right, before steelbox comes. Push steel left in flame, go through TP and push steel right in water to make a bridge.

3. Jump D, push cannon 2 right, barrel up and right through yellow TP. Step right through upper TP and push barrel up through TP. Step left through lower TP and push barrel left beyond the icecurves.

4. Go down to get the cannon to the white button (using 2-step breaktile). Push barrel left and go through black TP to push barrel down over tramp inside the white gate.

5. Get cannon off the white button and push it left, on the steelbox-bridge. Jump left and push cannon back on the white button.

6. Go to the left side and push the other woodbox down inside the lower white gate. Repeat the cannon move off/on the white button.

7. Get the last coins and clock. Go back to the icecurves, slide up the left side and walk down to where the breaktile was, which will get the shadow to the flame. Then exit.

Boy was I going in the wrong direction. I don't know why I did not see that move. Glad to see you back Mark. I love doing your levels even though more than half the time I must have help solving them. Thanks

Wow. Just WOW. I can't believe THAT was the solution. I had tried 10 different things, but I couldn't do it right.

You say the chompers are for decoration, but I'm pretty sure you put them there just to annoy us...! :twisted:

Misdirection over and over again. Thanks for the fun! :)

To be honest, I added the chompers for misdirection. :wink:
