I hope I haven't missed something very obvious here :oops: and that there is only one way to solve this - but I have been known to be very wrong in the past :lol: :lol: :lol:

Enjoy :P

Can't get my gold star :( . Neat looking level, Lillie! I have used the trampolines to move around the level and collect the coins and have exited with all the bonus coins except the 2 through the pink tp because I can not get out through the gates. Is it just a matter of really fast fingers to get the boulder rolling and the metal box in place to keep it going? Or am I just stuck in a mindset and can't see the obvious solution?!! :oops:

I'm with Donna on this. I have tried and tried to get the metal box in place so the boulder rolls but can't do it :(

I am afraid that you are - fast fingers needed - but not in the way you are thinking :lol: :lol: :lol: Too early for hints yet - sorry :lol:

Ooooo, you are so clever, Lillie! Started over from square one and after a lot of trying this and trying that, I finally figured it out! I knew my fingers could never be as fast as I was trying to make them! Cool level!

Lillieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! do you hear me cursing your name? :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

I have tried everything I know to do. I've pushed, pulled, swapped, been cornered and rolled over. If I put it here, I have to go from there. If I put it there, I have to go from here. If I put it there and then go there and put that other here, I still can't get over there before the there gets back here. I even used my warm fingers for this one.

:roll: I've already moved on to the rest of the puzzle. and have it all figured out. Now, if only I could get the beginning sorted. :D

Hi Lillie,

Well - I am sure you would wish for me to comment on this level :shock:

At first I thought you had made a boo-boo :shock: :shock:

HOWEVER - an excellent puzzle, without doubt :lol:

I admit it took me some time this morning to get my thoughts as to how to do 'you know what' :roll:

Thanks and enjoy the match this afternoon.

I'm happy to say that I finally reached China. But I had to take the long way round. Ace jumping fun. Thanks :D

"Slow Boat" is right!!! :twisted: It took me all day to get to China!
Must confess, this is the longest I've spend on one of your levels. :oops:
I didn't have any barrels left over, and I'm kind of wondering if I
solved it correctly, since my solution seemed rather far-fetched.

So you can perform magic too! :wink:
Excellent Misdirection!
Thank you for another Tricky Trip!!! :D

I finally got this one and I owe my success to visiting the Lost Coast. If I hadn't stumbeld upon keek's treasure map, I would've never gotten that boulder rolling!

thanks to kiki for inadvertantly helping, and thanks to Lillieeeeeeeeee for a brain teaser that kept me swearing for days!

I can't tell you how thrilled I am to have stumped you on a level - made my day! :wink: As to the match - a win would have been the best result - not a draw :evil: I enjoyed the beers with the lads anyway :D

For anyone struggling with this one - it is impossible to get the boulder rolling over the timer switches in the first section. You have to get the boulder in position and work out a jumping sequence via the tramps to get the boulder rolling (need to step out of the way pretty quickly too - secret is to have the up arrow pressed in mid air for when you land :o ) If you need more help - please ask :D

I had to put this one on ice for awhile. When I came back to it, I realized there had to be another way to get the boulder going. I didn't cheat, honest! Very clever beginning, and the barrels, too.

Thanks for the fun!

This was certainly tricky and if I hadn't played one of Kiki's levels I wouldn't have figured out the key to the boulder!

Moving on to more of your levels right now!

Thanks,

I agree with Bob, TRICKY! I tried this one days ago and got no where. Came back today and finally made it through. It took a little adjusting here and there. Thanks for loads of fun, Lillie! :D

This was great fun Sassypants! That box/box/boulder/bounce thang had me going for dozens of tries.

So glad ya didn't use this again!

I need help with the jump sequence. I know how to do all the rest but I cant figure out the jump to land in the right spot to get the ball rolling. I would really like to finish this one. Thanks Annie

Thanks to Rescue fire for the help. I had the jump correct all along I just figured when you told me how to jump that I had the ball in the wrong position. I never considered moving the ball. It was so easy after that.

Hey Robyn - thanks for bringing this one back. I never could do it way back then.

Today I managed to do the whole first boulder thing and got the timers going. That's a first. :D :D

Then I was completely stumped about how to start the barrel generator :lol: :lol:
Sad to say, I had to cheat and look in the editor. All became clear, and I got away with the gold.
You are so sneaky Lillie. This is an ace puzzle. :stinkyhappy:
