Another Lillie inspired creation.

Happy Puzzling!

There were two items that I knew I had to get rid of and one I was trying to save. I wasn't successful with the latter so I moved on and after lots of tramping around and moving things here and there I was successful with the former and then...cha-chiiing.

Excellent puzzle Mark, as always.

Thanks,

Lucky you were not born some 500 years ago, Mark - for you would be burned at the stake for witchcraft!

One of your best, Thanks!

So you think I conjured this up with sorcery? PREPOSTEROUS!

Hi Mark

I tried to begin your new level nearly 50 times now. And to be honest: I couldn't make any progress.
- I've no idea what to do in the beginning. Save the box and the keg, but produce a glitchy cannon? How nasty! And then?
- Save the keg only and use it to... Well, I can gain two coins and a steel box with it, but what then?
- Deal with the blue spheres? But how? I can't produce a useful result with them.
- Needless to say that I'm far away from opening only one of the five gates...

All in all: I'm completely stumped and really need a nudge... or two... or three...
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps I should have titled this 50 shades of PREPOSTEROUS.

Chip wrote:I've no idea what to do in the beginning. Save the box and the keg

If you save them both, neither one can be used. So one is better an none.

Chip wrote:but produce a glitchy cannon? How nasty!

Wow, I haven't seen the glitchy cannon yet, but would like to see it in action!

Chip wrote:Save the keg only and use it to...

The keg can assist you in travelling to some impossible places.

HINT: Notice the specific position of some coins near Peegue.

Chip wrote:Deal with the blue spheres? But how? I can't produce a useful result with them.

First open the aqua gate and you'll be on a roll. Then cover one red with one blue.

Let me know if you need another nudge or two.

Hi Mark

50 shades of PREPOSTEROUS later:
- Thanks for your hints, but I still not get the beginning.
- OK, the box has to go and the keg has to be saved, that's clear even for me.
- But how and what then?
- I can push the cannon left, destroy it with the keg and reach the cyan button. Great, but what then?
- Or I can separate the keg and the cannon moving the keg quickly. But then I have a keg between two green TPs. What now?

Hm, seems I need another nudge... or two... or three...

Hi Chip,

Let the cannon destroy the box.
Without touching any coins, tramp the cannon left.
Now remove the coin from the tramp.
Position keg between the coin and right green TP.
Stand on the left green TP, then jump down and left.

Hi Mark

Thanks for your help so far.
I'm making progress now and wil be back later...

EDIT:
Just came home from ski touring, and with a lot of fresh air in my lung (and in my brain...) I finally brought Peegue home.

Thanks for this tour de force, Mark. I'll treasure it as 'The 150 Shades Of PREPOSTEROUS'.
