Have fun....let me know if it's too hard or just right (I don't think it's too easy though).

It was definitely challenging. Lots of fun playing around with the possible solutions of the original. Eventually though I tweaked it a little bit with the editor so that I could have a bit more ease.
Loved your xmas one

Cool how you made the message. I finally figured out how to get to the green teleporter for the extra coins. Very good

Has anyone figured out a solution to this level?

I was able to solve it, but I couldn't get the last bonus points on the lower right. I just couldn't figure out how to get to that button on the upper left corner fast enough. But since that part is not needed, I was able to do the rest.
Looking at the level with the editor helped me to find something important, and is necessary for getting enough blocks. I also learned it was important to build a bridge on the upper water, not lower. And be careful where you build the first bridge in the lava.

Thanks to your help, I did finally finish this level. However, I was not able to get the bonus coins, either. I think that Stinky cannot take that many steps after walking across the star before the gate closes. I made a straight path in the level editor with a gate at the 15th step after the star, and the gate closes on Stinky every time.
In this level the gate is 15 steps after the star, so it doesn't seem possible for Stinky to make it. Has anyone succeeded in getting the bonus coins? What about you, LeanDemon? Is there a secret path that I have not discovered, another star hidden in a fake wall or something?
Anyway, fun level! I worked on it a long time and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Oops...sorry guys (and gals), I thought I had this thing completely tested before I uploaded it. Turns out that it was impossible to get all the bonus coins; I forgot to put in one patch of ice (which is the key). I tested it out and was able to complete the level and get all bonus coins. Sorry about any frustration I caused!

Has anyone been able to get thru the green gates to get the bonus coin in the upper left? It is still 1 step short after the 'fix', or was the fix for this part not included? Just curious...... It is a fun Level, so much to do and figure out!

Just the bonus coin, yes, there's enough time.
[But first of all, let's check: is there an ice corner tile to the right of that Scouge inside that green gate area? If not, you probably still have the old version and should redownload the level.]
I have now completed the level getting all the bonus coins. I think this may help you.
Hint/Spoiler:
Don't try to go for both the bonus coin and the blue button at the same run. Find some other way to activate the blue button besides the most obvious way.

Hmm...looks like I solved it in a more complicated way than necessary. In my solution eventually both the upper and lower waters are bridged, though now that you pointed things out, the upper one was probably unnecessary because [omitted to avoid spoilers]. In compensation I only built a bridge for the lower lava.
Anyway,
excellent level LeanDemon!

Especially to get all the bonus coins. I must've retried things over 20 times trying to figure out how to get enough materials to get it to work (except apparently I made things harder for myself than necessary...).
