It's not just in our world that you'll see a shortage.
Warning! Play with the timer off until you solve it.
If you can...

"Fools rush in..."
I disregarded your timer warning at first -- big mistake!
Anyway... is the boulder
meant to be basically unreachable? There seems to be no way of getting it out there because the clock covers the ice and I could've very much used it to hold a certain little critter in a certain little spot. If it's
meant to be a red herring that can't be reached, then great job, it really looks very needed... but this is one of the few times I'm having doubts as to whether everything's correct in the level. If it is, then damn, I really have no idea how to handle a certain something...

The level is solvable within the time limit.
There's isn't anything hidden.
It was posted under my name for a reason.
Hint:
What is the purpose of the UFO?
There's a shortage of coins and time.
Apparently the Rainbow Mint has been shut down.

Looked at the level again, and never mind, this should be possible even without the boulder. I did notice your "thingy" there, but thought I'd have to go down to access a certain room and then the thingy would not be enough. Well, if I swap myself and [REDACTED], I don't have to, so that's a way around my problem. A theoretical answer is then clear enough for all three gates, I just have to actually manage it in practice within the time limit, which looks absolutely diabolical. But yes, this should be possible, I just had myself and [REDACTED] the wrong way around in my original plan. Evil little design if you want to do it timed.

A clue for the boulder is found in my first four levels.

... now I'm confused again. Are you referring to "Well Bowl Me Down"? That trick isn't possible in this level. Or are you referring to one of the "Deception" levels?

Well, everyone talking about this boulder, I have not touched it at all.

Improved it with 27 seconds left, I can't see how this can be further improved.

I found three different ways of doing this.
The third way gave me 33 seconds left on the clock!

Wow YES, Got this 33 too!

Yes, I did some moves in a different sequence, which gave me 35 seconds left too!

Looks like we're doing the exact same moves. Sent you a PM.

Well, the very beginning was slightly different, but it makes no difference since we are waiting for the same external cycle!
