Hidden away in icebergs out on the frozen sea are the ruins of an old castle. The surrounding ice has formed into crystals, bathing the edifice in their refracted rainbow glow. Guide laser-focused light beams to open up the path forward and reach the Time Piece at the top.


Requires Brewing Hat, Dweller Mask, Time Stop Hat, and Hookshot Badge


Estimated playtime: ~35 minutes


Thanks to spop, Hatlagg, and Shiny Ado for playtesting and feedback!

No manual respawn trigger, but the oversight that allowed it to get stuck there to begin with should be fixed now

Namely, that the apple in the puzzle behind it doesn't have a manual respawn trigger. When failing the jumping across the spiders, the apple can get stuck on one of the platforms below without despawning, but since the player is always reset to the middle of the room once they touch said platform, getting to the apple becomes next to impossible, as you'd have to grab it and then throw it into oblivion, before actually landing. I managed it once... and then the apple immediately got stuck in the same place again. So could we please get a manual respawn trigger for it? ^^

Both my favorite part and the most annoying though fall together in the Frozen Plant section at the first gate with the double lock, with the gear part across. Placing a Brewing Box atop the lever for the rotating laser crystal to teach the player that Brewing Hat can also trigger them from afar is genious level design in and of itself and really gets my love for the level up... however, right behind it, there's a part that caused me to having to restart the level twice now.

One of my favourite hat in time levels so far. Pretty,Fun to play and overall an interesting concept.

Softlocked again from a knight in the same part of the level... this time they got stuck vibrating on a sloped platform.

Was forced to restart Challenge Road due to a softlock where a knight got stuck midair against a wall. Wouldn't have an issue with this level (at least the portion of the level I was able to play) if not for that.

frankly didn't enjoy the level at all, the gears part near the beginning where you need to wall jump off a spinning gear shaft by itself was a complete nuisance to get past.
Not fun.

I love the concept of puzzles being involved quite a fun level I loved it. The part with the dudes that had lasers when you hit them was by far the most frustrating part not my fav part of the level, but I enjoyed the concept.

The part where you have to get one of the laser guys from one side to the other over two lasers with a platform that can turn into no collision with the two holes that approach on either side of the moving platform had me stuck because it was extremely tricky to do correctly.

good level with pretty fun concept overall however the sections with the laser-shooting knights got pretty frustrating at some points

Yeah, I tried all the Time Stop flairs I could find. Only the Steampunk version and the Queen's version of the default had the issue.
