New Level -- Inversion

New level, two variations.

MUZ199 is "Inversion A". That's the easy version that allows you to be clever and use a loophole. I liked this loophole, so I made a version that allows you to use it.

MUZ199B is "Inversion B". I've only done it twice and I don't think I can remember my solution, so this is a "do it yourself" puzzle. This one does not allow you to "cheat" and forces you to figure out the actual "inversion". This is the hard version.

Inversion is quite a challenge, and hard enough.
To complicate matters, sometimes the right side is out of view.
Fascinating puzzle, though.

Judging by your screenshot, it looks like you are trying to solve "Inversion A" the "hard" way. If you want to find the "easy" way, start thinking outside the box and you'll find it.

If you look at "Inversion B" you'll only see one tiny difference. Understand why it's important and "Inversion A" will suddenly become really, really simple.

That took ages, but the duo is free (Loof long before Stinky).
I have not even looked at the easy version.

The easy version is awesome in a different way. If you notice, the ice tile near the exit is not there in the easy version. Which means, that in the "easy" version...

you can move Loof back through the gates and use Loof to move boxes in section 1 without changing section 2

That wasn't intended, but it was kinda clever (much easier than the puzzle itself, though) so that's why I released both versions.

(Loof long before Stinky)

That's correct.

That was the first thing that crossed my mind when I started playing, but as I played the harder version, I soon found that it was impossible...

Thanks for this great level!

Hi Muz
I needed ages too to solve this one. But suddenly I realized that only Loof could open the crucial gate...

Thanks for another great conundrum.
