The Wonderland Board

The start of a mini-series. That's what I said about "Boulder Palace", too, but this time it will really only consist of 5 levels. I wonder how long it will take until someone finds out my inspiration.

I think it's gotten tricker than intended again, but don't worry - once you have arrived on the right side, the rest should be a piece of cake.

Good luck!

I've been struggling with this one for a couple of days and I haven't yet managed to get across to the right side.

Love the first boulder puzzle, but then I'm a bit stumped with what to use where.

I need a boulder to activate the yellow timer, but don't see how to make that happen.

And I need a boulder to land in the right place to push it into the water, but another piece of equipment doesn't get there in time to stop it.

Stumped as usual!

Hi Liz,

Don't worry about the button too much right now - you'll find a way to keep it activated once you're in the trampoline area.

About the water gap: It does require some speed, but you only have to change direction once, so I hope that's not the problem. Make sure that the boulder takes the longest way possible! Which means, it starts below the top right ice patch and turns around on the very bottom one.

To be honest, the boulder doesn't do that in the solution. It stops somewhere on the way (guess where ) and the second boulder does the whole direction-change-thing before it hits the first one again.

I hope it helps you.

Thanks Lucas. I've got over to the right two different ways. First using one boulder, then both boulders, but still can't activate the yellow timer and don't seem to have enough equipment to get rid of the kaboom.

Timer:

Jump UUL to get back into the playing field once the white gate has closed. Cover all the buttons and stuff with help of the once open, once closed cyan gate. Roll a boulder on the yellow button. Now jump UUD - U - DUL to get the boulder rolling.

If you have trouble setting everything up:
Open cyan gate. Cover red button with wood box. Push the prism on the spot right of the green TP. Push wood box through green TP. Close cyan gate. Use prism to stop boulder on yellow button. Cover green button with wood box. Cover second red button with prism.

Right area:

Push cannon left, then down. Push reflector the spot that's two tiles up and to tiles right from the cannon. Push cannon into position (southwest of the bridge tile) and then the reflector (west of the bridge tile).

Hope it helps you,
Lukas

EDIT: Mixed up left and right. D'oh!

Thanks for the help Lucas.

I got right to the end and I had a problem with the 2 step breaktile in the cannon area. So I had to do it a different way to make it work for me.

In the end I made it!

A very complex and tricky level.

Exactly how do I get the boulder below the top right ice patch, get my blocker in position down at the bottom and put myself below the boulder able to push it up?

This is what I did Bob - don't know if it's the intended way.

Don't take top coin by flame.
Use wood box on green button.
Put prism below centre red button.
Push boulder R to stop beside blue TP.
Go thru green TP and push prism down thru blue TP.
Push boulder down and stand aside.
Time it to push prism L and then R again to bottom ice.
Time it when boulder bounces off ice, to very quickly push prism up to space above yellow timer. Boulder is stopped below ice.
Take coin by flame.
Push prism back down L of bottom ice curve.
Push boulder L and stand in alley above white gate.

Nice solution, Liz! I didn't even think about the possibility to let the boulder go back and forth.

It's probably a lot faster than my solution, but it's also a bit more action-based:

Cover green button with wood box, put prism directly below upper middle ice curve.
Don't take that coin yet, either.
Roll lower boulder (1) right.
Cover centre red button with prism.
Roll second boulder down, then right.
Roll first boulder left, put prism right of second boulder.
Roll second boulder up, go down and right. Boulder should now be next to green TP and you next to boulder.
Roll boulder left, quickly go up before the boulder blocks the way.
Push prism down through blue TP, collect coin, push upper boulder left and wait in the alley.

Well, I finally made it to the right side but I can't make it work and I can't figure out what goes where by reading your spoiler. I can't push the cannon all the way down and to move the reflector up I have to step on the break-tile.

Edit: Never mind, I made it work but I sort of went opposite to your spoiler.

Quite a challenging level, thanks!

That's what I did for the right side too Bob!
