Act 3 (Contd.)

Level 33

The toy soldier box in this level is located straight ahead from the door you enter through.

At first, do not modify the path of the soldiers: they will go to the commutator (the hamster wheel), powering up a bridge above the palace, which the free soldier will have to use.

The commutator will consume one soldier temporarily, and the remaining soldiers will make an about turn. Place three prism blocks as shown below to direct your soldiers to the palace.

Once you have a free soldier, take control of him and go to the pile of paint cans and boxes, and jump up to the bridge you activated.

Keep going straight ahead until you find a ruler. Jump off the ruler and onto the airship.

Meanwhile, your regular soldiers will pass through a turnstile and activate a bridge. They will automatically cross the bridge onto the next platform.

Place a prism block on that platform so that the soldiers are directed to the cannon.

Adjust the cannon so that it points to the white arrow on the power hub to the right of the airship.

When the soldiers hit the cannon, the power hub will activate a steam exhaust, causing the airship to move to the other side of the room.

Move the prism block so that your soldiers are sent to the balloon machine on the same platform.

Pause the game and go to the free soldier’s side of the room, where you’ll find a couple of drums. Manipulate the drum nearest to the free soldier so that it will send your free soldier to the second drum.

Adjust the second drum so that it sends the free soldier up onto the boxes as shown below.

Adjust the cannon here so that it is aimed toward the target on the jack-in-the-box. Hit the cannon as the free soldier, which will cause the target to be hit by a cannonball.

This makes your soldiers safe from the jack-in-the-box, so place some prism blocks to move around the jack-in-the-box and into the balloon machine.

While the soldiers go around the back of the jack-in-the-box, manipulate the cannon on the high shelf near the free soldier. Adjust the cannon so that it is aimed toward the airship with the rope attached to it.

Hit the cannon as the free soldier, which will lower the airship and raise the cover around the pinwheel on the floor.

Adjust the pinwheel so that it is aimed toward the platform with the turnstile on it.

Place a prism block on the platform with the soldiers on it, so that your soldiers are directed to the pinwheel’s trajectory.

Also place a prism block just before the turnstile, so that your soldiers walk into the turnstile. Also place a prism block somewhere after the turnstile, so that the soldiers are trapped there.

As the free soldier, return to the cannon that we used to turn the jack-in-the-box, and then jump toward the table with the jack-in-the-box on it.

Follow the same route as the soldiers – go through the balloon machine, and then jump onto the pinwheel to be transferred to the same table as the other soldiers.

Now go up the paint cans and the boxes, up the ladder and toward the wooden shelf up ahead. Drop down to the paint cans ahead.

On this table, look for the treadmill along the wall. Walk on the treadmill as the free soldier.

This activates the bridge toward the platform the free soldier is on. Place a prism block so that the soldiers head across the bridge and to the box.

The soldiers will open the box here, allowing you manipulate the commutators. Before we do any of that, have the free soldier walk over the treadmill again, in the opposite direction, so that the bridge ahead is activated.

As the free soldier, follow the other soldiers onto the next platform. Once all four soldiers have made it past the bridge, have the free soldier walk on the treadmill near the exit door, which disables the previous bridge and activates the bridge near the commutator.

Disable the commutator by interacting with it, which will cause the soldier there to walk straight onto the bridge ahead.

As for the remaining soldiers, use your prism blocks to direct them to the exit door.

Finally, have your free soldier join the other soldiers in exiting the level.
