I hope you enjoy! There's nothing particulary obscure in this one.

If you think a steel box would come in handy, but you can't find one, highlight the first spoiler.
If you're having trouble with the transporter section, but you know what you are trying to do, highlight the second spoiler.
If you need to use the white teleporter to complete the level, then highlight the second spoiler. After doing that, read the description of the first spoiler and decide if that's what you need.
First spoiler wrote:After pressing the blue timer button, head to the top-left.
Second spoiler wrote:The white teleporter at the start will come in handy, so you don't have to complete most of the level only to fail. But, make sure you can complete the level (even if you don't get gold) without using the teleporter, since it might lead to some cheese. (Cheese = unintended solution)
And if you get completely stuck, or you want to listen to my beautiful voice, watch the video solution, because I've recorded a track which explains each action. I think it's called commentary.

HAVE FUN! :D

Nice and easy, thanks.

I didn't use any fireballs or half the objects. I suppose the idea was to smash some boxes? I didn't, but it was fun nevertheless!

The idea is to complete the level without using the white teleporter.

Once you have done that, you may use the white teleporter to make it easier to get gold (i.e. You don't need to play most of the level to get up to the transporter part, only to fail and have to do it all again. Instead you can use the teleporter to do that part first.)
I'm not sure what you did, but try to do it without using the white teleporter.
If you're still confused, the video shows the intended route (sans teleporter of course) but of course then you know what to do and it's not fun.

Well, of course I used the white teleporter: if I was not supposed to, then why is it there?

I did not use any fireballs and didn't break any boxes, just produced a metal box and took it with me through the white teleporter, so it blocks the UFO fire. As for the coin on the conveyor button (why was that button necessary?), I just used the two reflectors to create a bridge, then the wooden box to get to that button and take that coin.

Watch the video, Amnon.
I've already explained the purpose of the white teleporter.

Now I can see that you did, but it was in a spoiler and I don't read spoilers.

When I see a new level, I just download and play it - I normally do not read any comments, not even the labels within the level, until well after I completed the level. In this particular case I was in a hurry, I had about 20 minutes to complete it, so under the pressure I did what it took to get this level ticked off as quickly as possible.

If using the white teleporter was not intended, then you should have added some trick so that if it used then some bonus coin is blocked off so the level cannot be completed with gold.

Good suggestion, but the point of the teleporter is to make it easier to get gold (by letting you do the difficult transport bit first, instead of grinding through the rest of the level each attempt).
Thanks for playing anyway, and discovering massive cheese. I'll have to try your route for myself.

Difficult? What could be easier than that?

Meanwhile I managed to make it even shorter: http://vid.me/W3GL
