Cool, thanks!

I can't do the opening moves successfully, I'm not fast enough or I'm doing it wrong.

Here's the Walk-Through for the First Room:

1. Step 1L + 1D on break-tile.
2. Step 1R + 1R + 1U + 1R on break-tile.
3. When boulder is beside the tree: Step 1U + 4L + 2D + 2U.
4. Roll the boulders on the white and yellow buttons.

I needed the opening moves. I had a feeling I was doing it wrong.

Had fun working out the rest, thanks!

Here's the Walk-Through for the First Room:

Oh, and I made it overly too complicated, using the cannon which actually required good and delicate timing.

Don't feel bad, Bob.
I originally posed the problem to myself and could not figure it out.
But later on, I came back to it with a solution.
That's why I posted an early walk-through for the first part.
There might be a variety of things you can do which lead nowhere.
Chip once mentioned about placing the most difficult puzzle at the beginning.
Well, hopefully I will keep that in mind on my future outings.

So you found another way...

Did it involve destroying the boulder with the cannon?
I wonder how you filled those two water holes. Hmm...

No, I just unnecessarily pushed the cannon around while there was no need to do so.

Yes, at one attempt I did break a boulder with the cannon which gave me a bit of extra time to run around, but if I had your elegant solution I wouldn't be needing that extra time.

I was doing the same thing and I came close to making it work, but only once. I was reasonably certain (after playing your levels for many years) that I had to be on the wrong track.

I did the same as Amnon and Bob, using the cannon to smash a boulder, but it didn't work.

Thanks for the help Mark!

Once that first room was sorted, the rest fell into place very nicely.

I enjoyed playing this one a lot.

Hey Mark,

I ditto Liz. Thanks for the opening moves. The rest was such fun to figure out.

Hi Mark
I had a lot of fun to sort out the hodge-podge and finally was successful.

Thanks for this bunch of clever puzzles.
