Enjoy!

Very nice! I used all items and some accurate timing was required.

Thanks!

Hi Anne
Your fantastic puzzler gave me a lot of restarts, but also a lot of fun!

Thanks for the challenge.

I thoroughly enjoy this one, Anne!

It took one precisely timed move near the end.
But I suspect that I didn't do it your way...
I never even touched the barrel.

Thank you for this fun outing!

You had me stumped for a while but came back today and got the last part figured out. That was a good challenge.

Thanks

Annie

I'm still working on this one Anne, but I'm a long way from finishing.
It's a marvellous puzzle

Back later ...

I'm still completely stuck on how to deal with those flames.
I can get the kaboom to extinguish the one below the yellow button, but then I can't get rid of the 2 right side flames and leave the coin free.

I must be doing it wrong right from the start. Am I supposed to somehow get an extra green sphere through to the main part of the level?

Stymied!

I'm still completely stuck on how to deal with those flames.

No wonder - an extremely tricky move is required: Kick the boulder up at a particular time in the kaboom's cycle when 2 flames are extinguished at once. If you are really good at it, you may be able to extinguish all 3 flames at once - otherwise use the wooden box!

Hey Liz,

Move the box to the right of the pillar in kaboom's little home. This maneuver will then cause the kaboom to extinguish the flame to the right. Then move the box up to extinguish the flame just below the coin.

The left boulder is used for the white button, the right boulder is used for the timer by the ice and the top boulder is used to start the generator.

The barrel goes in the water hole by the bottom left boulder.

Move the box to the right of the pillar in kaboom's little home.

And I was thinking that I did it in the intended way... This means that I wasn't!

the right boulder is used for the timer by the ice

And this means that this boulder is not necessary, because the timer is close enough to step on and exit.

Anne , I went back and played it your way. It was far more clever and simpler than what I did.
I redirected Kaboom with a carefully timed rolling boulder like Amnon.
The box went into the ditch. The boulder that was suppose to cover the conveyor timer, was used to destroy the steel box for the generator.
And that's why I never used the barrel.

Well, shoot! Didn't check that out.

Ah hah. That makes sense. Thanks, Mark.

Thanks for all the help everyone! It was that one simple move of placing the box next to the pillar instead of in the corner.

I'm pretty sure I'd never get the timing right with the boulder solution.

What a great little puzzler. Thanks for the fun Anne!

It felt good to accept a classic challenge after a long time. Good work and keep it up

Dangy I was using the same timing move as Amnon but the use of the box makes waaay more sense, just didn't see it.

Fun level Anne, big thanks!
