This was such a deceiving little puzzler. I don't want to say too much because I don't want to give it away but this one has to be one of your best yet.

Thanks Chickie

Actually Mark helped me a lot with this level - so that is why it is a bit more devious than my others!!!!!
Thanks again Markus you little devil you

Phew, this was indeed difficult, but I made it.
Well, it was really brilliant and beautiful!
Are you intending to replace Mark?
(I would expect a level like this to be his!)

I really can't take credit for this. This is Lillie's design! She is a genius at crafting these masterpieces!

It was a sheer delight to watch the metamorphosis of this grand level.
With all this exposure, I can only hope that some of her creativity will rub off on me.

Boy howdy and double dangy too!
what a humstinkerdinger, that opening move was very elusive and took me many restarts to fathom it out.
That pink $#%^#@ button.
That $%#@ UFO.
I could see what needed to be done so yeah peice of cake...NOT!
Don't get me wrong I loved every minute er...hour of it.
Lillie, your as clever a level maker there is.
Thanks Matey!
Thanks, "Lillie Billie Button Bongo Bango Beach Blanket Bingo Bang Bling Blang Blango Lillie"

I'm completely stuck on this one Lillie!
Is the blue sphere supposed to go on the blue button or not? That's what I'm doing anyway. Then I can get the green and the yellow buttons covered and the UFO redirected, but he doesn't go the way I want, and the blasted break tiles prevent me from going anywhere.
No idea what I'm supposed to do.
Help perleeeeeze!

Thanks so much for the help Lillie!
I would NEVER have got that opening move. Absolutely brilliant.
A fantastic puzzler. Very tricky indeed.

Asking for a PM, also, Lillie. Thanks.

Thanks, Lillie, for the PM. I was putting the wrong sphere on the yellow button. Yet another great, great level!!

Help is here
Tramp up behind the sphere. Push blue down, run quickly and step on pink and let it smash the boxes and come back and land on pink - time it to step off the pink as the sphere goes through the gate and stand above the tramp. Go down and around and take that coin and then around the back and push blue down whilst standing on the pink button and then push the sphere onto the yellow. Then go round the back again and tramp DD (pink gate acts as a stopper) and then the redirected UFO will shoot that box for you - step in the yellow gate once he shoots. Green sphere is for blue button!
Thanks for playing and for your comments folks!

Playing catch-up with levels, still have a couple of yours to get to but I loved this one.
When I saw the placement of the boxes I had a reasonably good idea of where the UFO was needed but the one box by the teal gate proved to be a bear!
Got through it with gold after a few restarts, thanks again Lillie-pad!

HELP please! I can't fathom how to cover the red button!!!
thanks!
EDIT:
Lillie, this level was awesome! I needed your spoiler to get me straightened out but I still had the issue with the red button. Mark PM'd me and showed me the obvious!
Geez oh Pete! how creative you devious minds are! I love it!
THANKS

Thanks for helping out Mark while I was a snoozin' in this part of the world
Glad you got it Angi - thanks everyone for playing and for your comments

Yeah, this certainly had the feel of Mark to it. An ingenious level for sure. I had to completely re-think everything I was doing, and wasn't easy staying alive!
Superb! Thanks!

Playing catch-up. Had the hardest time figuring out how to cover that red button...came to ask for help and well we all know that story. I had the beginning all figured out so didn't use your spoiler. Had a heck of a time dancing around that wall till Peeque got brave enough to let the UFO shoot at him. This was fun Lillie.....thank you.

ok Lillie. I give up. I LOVE this level, one of my favorites. I was determined to do it myself but how to cover the red button has me stumped.

I bow my head and ask for help

Nice to see you Eeyore!

Hope you are well
OK - red sphere room:
Push the left red sphere UP and the boulder DOWN and LEFT onto green button. Now push the right sphere LEFT to rest against the boulder. Then push the sphere LEFT and move down out of the way and then push it UP onto the light blue button. The red will now be covered!
Hope that helps - if you need help with the rest please just ask!

OK - Here's another Lillie level I can't do.
It looks like I was able to complete it back in the day, but the old brain isn't up to it any more.
I don't know how to get rid of the box shown in the screenie.
If you tell me I need to keep the UFO alive to shoot it, then how do I get past the wretched thing to get through the blue gate? At the moment I'm bumping off the UFO with the green sphere. Probably oh so wrong.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Only the UFO can do this.

By jumping down-then-left.

Indeed, then you have no UFO.

Thanks Amnon!
And Mark - thanks for the video.
I was doing the red spheres too early so there would have been no way through for the UFO even if I'd left him alive!
Another brilliant Lillie level, as they all were.

I just have to bump this to the top of the board. Awesome level and so much fun to play!
Truly a great combination of a 'Mark' level and 'Lillie' level.
And since I'm finished with every imaginable DIY project whilst in quarantine, I thought it only proper to goof off and play my favorite retro game. I hope more people find themselves here over the next month. It's such a great game.

Today I learned that Trampolines can block UFOs.
This was a fun level! Nice work! I briefly considered the possibility of using the Blue Link Sphere to destroy the boxes and then cover the purple button, but I forgot that Trampolines bounce things over your head and thought it wasn't possible until I looked here... That's certainly a clever move!
