General hints thread

[Hempuli]

Feel free to make a new thread if you're stuck, but you can ask for specific hints here as well!

Keep in mind that the game was built around the idea that you can pick your levels pretty freely; almost every area starts with slightly easier levels so it may even be a good idea to check out early levels in other areas before doing the final levels of an area.

I'm stuck on lake-extra 1: submerged ruins, can someone give me a direction to go in?

[sangdel]

I’m stuck on cavern-1. Looks like a couple of other folks were as well. Anyone got tips?

[Zyxyz]

I'm one full flower away from unlocking a new gate, but stuck on literally every level available in the still-uncleared worlds. Can I get some hints for some of these? (obv asking for *all* of them would be too much lol, but most of them would unlock more levels if I could just get past them, so.)

- Garden 4 and 8
- Forest 3, 4, 10, and 12
- Space 6, 7, 8, and 12

in space 6 you can move the "cloud is stop" rule to the left without deactivating it

That worked, thanks! Though now I can't figure out Space 9, 10, or Extra-1 in addition to the others previously mentioned...

Figured out cavern 1!!
Have to push text over the rock

[Mother Serpent]

Garden 8

HINT:

You can make the Kekes push everything you need in the time you need.

SOLUTION

First, make the Kekes push the entire sentence on the left by pushing the sentence up. Then go to the top right corner using the free path down the level. Up there, move a little so the Kekes hit the right wall. Then, push the ROCK sentence down. The idei is to have enough time to push the rock over the flag, but make the keke undone the ROCK IS PUSH sentence, so you can stand over the rock.

Forest 3 (Keep Out!)

HINT:

You can move the belt, and leave him in a more useful place

SOLUTION
Make BELT IS PULL and position the belt in the last square on the right you can place it, in he narrow path. Then, make TREE IS PULL and pull the tree thorugh the narrow path. Since the belt is SHIFT, the tree in be moved to the last square and can be pulled up.

[Mother Serpent]

Forest 4 (Baba Is Not Responding)

HINT:

In the beggining, the belts are not in the right place

HINT:

Baba can move around while you get in place

SOLUTION
Make BELT IS PUSH and move obe belt so if faces right in the blocks that need to be moved, and the other belt faces down just above the first belt. Then, with BABA IS PUSH, make Baba stand on the line of the first belt, facing left. When you make BABA IS MOVE, you should have just enough time to get to the door before baba moved left, then right ans then is pushed by the belts.

[Mother Serpent]

Forest 10 (Supermarket)

HINT:

Blocks are not just for rules

HINT:

You can move two pieces up at the same time

SOLUTION
Push BELT IS to the right, form BELT IT UP and get all the pieces back to the center. Make BELT IS RIGHT and move both the rock and the RIGHT word to the first line of the up belt. Move the BELT and IS to the left and position it besides the left belt. Move UP to the left, form BELT IS UP and get into the belt right away. baba will move up at the same time the two pieces in the center.

[Mother Serpent]

Space 6 (Aiming High)

HINT:

Maybe Baba can be solid?

HINT:

You have two Babas for a reason

SOLUTION
Get the IS next to DUST and WIN down and position is on the right side of BABA IS YOU. Now, position the two Babas in a way you can move bothe BABA and YOU right at the same time. Now that BABA IS YOU is one square to the right, you can also form BABA IS STOP without undoing the CLOUD IS STOP. With two solid babas, you can push the moon to the star. Then, it's just forming DUST IS WIN.

[Mother Serpent]

Space 7 (Trio)

HINT:

First of all, think of what needs to be done in the end of the level

HINT:

Keke can undo the SKULL IS DEFEAT sentence

SOLUTION
I'll be a little more lazy in this explanation. Just mmake sure you position Keke and Me in a way they both can move right. Just Me needs to be PUSH (or solid). When they both hit the cloud on the right ans turn back, you can remove the PUSH from Me. Keke will fall facing left and will keep moving until it pushes de DEFEAT.

[Mother Serpent]

Space 12 (Guardians)

This was one of my favorite puzzles so far. I've felt really smart completing it. So, I would suggest avoiding the solution and trying yourself.

HINT:

There's a reason the ice is there

HINT:

When an object is PULL, it's solid.

SOLUTION
Use ICE IS PULL to create a plataform of ice just bellow the corridor. This plataform needs to have a lot of moving area, since you'll need to form EMPTY IS PULL and TEXT IS PULL at the same time, while having the way to undo EMPTY IS PULL. Rember all the empty squares will become solid, that's why you need the ice, to being able to push blocks and undoing the sentence later. You also need a couple of ice squares just bellow the corridor. When EMPTY and TEXT are PULL, you can pull the text one square at a time while moving up and down from the ice (that's why you need the extra espace. When you free the WIN, you need to undo the EMPTY IS PULL to regain your movement freedom.
