In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure-dome decree.
A big thank you to Popo Pauline for her stately Piazza texture.
Enjoy your stay!

This was so hard - took me many hours to solve, but then, so rewarding.
Thank you Mark!

I took a run at this earlier today and simply could not figure out why the break-tile on the top right was designed the way it was. After a time I decided to leave the level alone and come back to it later.
I knew I had to re-think my strategy so I started from the very beginning and realized where I was going wrong.
I must try to remember how much you like to move us back and forth in your levels.
Excellent puzzle Mark, thanks for the challenge and the fun!

Hey Bob,
What did you figure out about that break tile? I could use a hint in that direction, please. I need to be able to step on it twice.

That can be done, but not within the same game (you can restart and step on it again... or activate 2 instances of this level simultaneously). Your wrong assumption, I believe, is that
the cannon has to go over the trampoline.

You know, Amnon, I tried opening two games to solve the breaktile dilemma - didn't work.
Your assumption is correct. Thanks for the hint - I'll rethink.

Holy wow mark, what a fantastic mind bender and boy mine is sure bent good.
I have to watch some TV to straighten it out.
I had a big push in the right direction from Bob to get going, it was all down hill from there.
Thanks for the level.

I can only get out of the first room and no further. I must be wrong with this too because there are 2 boxes left in there!
Love the title Mark. Goes so well with Pauline's lovely texture.

Is there anything you can do so that those boxes will not be there?

Woo Hoo! Got it with Amnon's and Bob's two hints. Thanks for the level, Mark!

Even with your hint, I still can't get the cyan button covered

I am very proud to have come this far all by myself, but I have a bad feeling that I've done the beginning wrong.
Give me a few more hours, maybe I can do something else

Yeah, I also need that breaktile to step on twice

If not, I cannot use the third boulder. I can either cover the red button or the cyan button, but not both
Here's what I do:
I use the prism on the green button, therefor the coin next to the black TP will be gone. Then I push the upper right boulder left, and can push it on the red button. I can now push the cannon up the tramp, but there should've been a coin or a boulder there to make it on the other tramps. I just can't see how??? When I push the boulder/sphere on the pink button, I get that extra boulder, but I can't reach it because the floor is gone.
Any hints, please?

Salin,
Push the upper left boulder right.
If you want more, holler.

Thanks, Anne, I already tried that

Thanks

I finally got my gold!!! Thanks Anne, that last hint was all I needed, but it was still a fight to get it all done in the right order
Mark, what can I say? You're just amazing

I give up. I have each part figured out but can not get them all together. If I cover the teal button, I can't cover the red button then because the break tile is gone. Some one please help me on how to do that last part. I am proud to of at least figured out each part, even if I can't put it all together without help.Thanks Annie

I had it the same way as you do, doodlebug. Try not to step on the breaktile under the red button until you shall push a thing on it
I take it that you got the same hint from Annie as I did? If not, I can try to tell you more.

I have not received hints from anyone yet. I have tried all the combinations I can think of with the red button and none of them work. I know it is something I am doing wrong with that breaktile. If I don't get it, maybe a video will be posted again and I will see what I am doing wrong. Thanks Annie

Doodlebug,
Do not put reflector on yellow button at the beginning. Leave it where it is. Push left boulder to the right at the top.

Actually I just found Marks video and saw what I was doing wrong, then I accidentally posted my reply on the wrong level. I was missing that opening move with the crystal. I got it after seeing that move. Thanks Annie

Thanks for posting the Video Mark.
I could never have managed without it, and even with it I'm sure I'll take quite a while to get there.
Excellent and intriguing.
