Trapped in a Vortex


Hint: A Rainbow Spirit travels in a straight line until it meets an object. If it can then go both left or right it could do either, however if can only go in one of those it will. If it can go neither left or right it will reverse its’ direction.

Full Solution:


Minding not to disturb the Spirit, push the left metal box left 2 squares and return Stinky 1 right. Step on timer & push same box 2 more left across conveyor. Push top box left 2 and move Stinky 1 right. Wait for Spirit to exit to 1st ring.

Step on timer and push first box 2 more left. Push bottom box left 2 & up 1. Step on timer & push this box left 2 onto conveyor then return to push the top box down 1. Wait for Spirit to exit to 2nd ring.

Push the last box you moved 1 up. Step on timer and push the 1sr box yet another 2 squares left. Push the far right box 1 down, 3 left and 1 up. Step on timer & push this box 4 left onto the left most conveyor then return to push the top box down 1. Wait for Spirit to exit to 3rd ring.

Using timer push all 4 metal boxes into the nearest lava to generate 4 new boxes Push these into the right side lava so as to get to section 2.

Prepare section 2 for the Spirit as shown in the screen shot. Then push the box by Stinky left 3, up or down 1 (depending on which way the Spirit is traveling) and return to a safe spot in section 2.

Once the Spirit has collected the 4 keys push the left most box to the generator & then back out again and onto the 4th square to the right of the blue button. Depending on which way the Spirit is moving push the center right box to the previous box to form a right-angle. The Spirit will now go into the last section.

Collect the bonus coins – you will need to ‘lean’ on the red gate both in & out. Bring across 2 wooden boxes to form a right-angle to direct the Spirit into keg. Step on the square button and exit all 4 characters to collect the Gold Star.
