Very challenging level Lillie! Took a lot of trial and error before I was able to make it to the end and collect my gold star! Thanks!

There must be another way then, because no running or fast fingers needed at the end with my solution

I'm glad you found an alternative and you got the gold

After having solved #3 I gave this stinker another go. With success finally. Very tricky with all those boxes, boulders, holes, trampolines,.....
Didn't need quick fingers so I probably finished it the intended way. Great puzzle, Lillie
#4 will be next

Awesome level. Took me a few times to finally get the z-bots to work with me instead of against me, but they ended up seeing things my way. I off to play your next one.

You mission is accomplished. It took me this long to get through it. I had a blind spot in each section and then when I thought I was clear, I ran into another one. But now, I have finished it and added another old start ot the collection!

OK - I'm the dunce again! I just can't go fast enough to get through that pink gate when the kaboom walks over the button.
I can't see another possible way to cover the pink button.
H-E-L-P-!
Edit: I've just seen Chickie's comment about z-bots. What z-bots? Am I commenting on the wrong level. Is senile dementia truly setting in at last?

I'm not suprised
There should be a rolling boulder going over the pink timer button and a z-bot keeping the green timer switch going
Let me know if you need more help Lizzie

Lillie - I am commenting on the wrong level! I need a brain transplant.
Get back to you when I find where the level is that I thought I was commenting on.

Dear Lillie,
I spent most of the day by the sea with the Shingles again.

My old friend, Peegue was here keeping me company.
Kicked my brain in over-drive to help him out, but always seemed to come up short everytime.

Then when it was time to leave, I forgot to turn the arrow around,
So a certain green toll gate kept us from going home.
You are so truly gifted at the use of all these items.
Your inventive ideas are always new and inspiring!
Sincerely,
Shingles by the Sea II

Finally sussed out another one of your gems. I'll admit I came looking for a little nudge

Just couldn't believe what I was seeing at the end in order to make my escape

But once I whittled it down to only one, I was able to make my way to the exit. Poor Peegue is sure tired after his big

around the seaside.
Only one more left

Maybe there's more out there that I have to find, I'll check

I'm sorry Bob this post had me cracking up and Duvet a shingle is what is nailed to a roof top me thinks.

I can't do this one either Lillie! No surprise - my TO DO folder is wall-to-wall Kiki and Lillie levels. I'm so far back I'll never catch up. Only 2 more days to go before all the exams are over though ...
Yes CathyIII a shingle is a roof tile, but in England we have another meaning. A shingle beach is one made up of very small pebbles - and given the look of these levels I'd say that was the meaning here.
So Lillieeeeee - are you going to help dunc and the Bobster and me?
Pleeeeeese ...

Sorry everyone - I took a day off Wonderlanding yesterday to clean my house

and spend time with my munchkins and friends
Bobster - you are soooooooooooo funny

I have visions of you smashing your bonce on your keyboard and calling me every name under the sun
Shingles as in "on the shingly beach" because that is what Janet's faberoonie texture reminds me of
OK - judging by the pm's I have had on this one, there are many ways to complete this, but here is mine!
Don't touch anything, walk down to the bottom of the tramps, over the fake tile on right and bounce U U D, then U and through the left fake tile. Push the metal box by the 2-way conveyor up one. Push both boulders down into water by tramps. Tramp into pink timer section and take coins and push metal box out and down infront of second walkway by fake tile by the tramps. Push pink timer and take coin above tramps and tramp down one and go through fake water tile and push metal box left and over 2-way conveyor. Push other metal box into same puddle.
Go into top left section and push one metal box into water and the boulder to follow. Bring metal box down into z-bot section and place it above the water hole by the zbot gen. Take coin on yellow button and take coin by z-bot and he will go left and up off the metal box and smash barrel by boulder. This will release the other boulder which will rest on pink gate. Go through red TP and push boulder down and over tramps and it will roll over pink timer. Push the metal box in water by bot gen, the metal box gen will now spring into action by the red TP.
Now the z-bot gen will be going. Three bots come out and then a single one (all splatting in the water for now). Time it when only one bot is generated and push one metal box in water by bot gen. Now avoiding the one zbot who wil be going up and down from yellow button and the red gate, go and push the other metal box in the water by tramps as you now need 2 new ones. Using the red TPs, place new metal boxes as in screenshot to direct the one zbot onto green timer switch and then avoiding bot again, push both metal boxes onto the yellow and red buttons!

Sorry if it was a stinker - I must have been in a bad mood that day

Can't think why
Good luck and thanks for persevering with it everyone. Promise my next one will be peasy

No shame Rosie - it was a stinker

Thanks for playing

Tried every which way but yours, and was very close many times, but just couldn't quite do it. I was trying to outrun too many zbots. I combined my way and yours and it worked fine. I'm not clear on the purpose of the boulder and the pink button though; I don't think you need to keep the pink gate open for any reason do you?
Anyway, it was a stinker and a thinker. Thanks Lillie

There is a pink gate to get to the exit. I'm not sure that you can tramp to the exit

But Inspector Gadget probably strikes again

How did you exit without going through the gates?
Glad you made it

Here's what kind of a nit-wit I am...the
red TP, never even thought about using it to get around
But..."I get by with a little help from my friends..."
Thank-you ladies!!!!

You're very Welcome Bob, I knew Lillie was already in bed and I wasn't sure if you were still on so I sent you a little S.O.S. to assist. I'm glad it helped.

You're "comment" just couldn't be passed up

And many times I get the B.B.S.
(Brain Block Syndrome) and could use a little S.O.S. too.

At last I've completed this stinker! Even with the spoiler it still took me about 5 more tries to do it.
Ace brain-teaser Lillie. My main problem focused around the bridge tile by the trampolines, and then directing the z-bot.
Hoping for some easier ones ....

I guess I must have used the pink gate; I had played it so many times in so many different ways, and a number of those times I just skipped over the pink button part because I didn't know why I needed it (obviously those times I didn't make it to the finish or I would have noticed another pink gate there!

) and was trying to focus on getting past the zbots. The time I finally finished it I must have put the boulder on the pink button or, you're right, I wouldn't have been able to exit. What a level Lillie!

A LOT bit Stinky Winky!
Under normal circumstances, I would have stuck this out, and solved it on my own. But this is the first one I did, after my hiatus, and I just could not get the ending. I always ended up with one steel box, when I needed two. After reading your spoiler, I was kicking myself.
Amazing how you come up with such good and stinky ones! Thanks for the fun series!!!
