  1. This is clever! Not too hard, but challenging enough to be fun. I'm stuck on level 29... can't figure out how to get past/neutralize the guy with the javelin. If anyone has succeeded in achieving that, please give me a hint. Thanks!

  3. Is it possible to do the bonus level with the 3 guys holding rings.
    It seems you must pick up the spear & your trapped once you use it.

  4. Hints for that level:
    - You're trapped once you've thrown the javelin through the target, as you have to push the target right and then left in order to be able to activate it.
    - There's no way to activate that target in the bottom right without throwing your javelin.
    - Therefore, this must be the last thing you have to do in the level
    - If that's the case, then there must be stuff you can do in the level to activate the other targets while still holding your spear.
    - What happens when you stand between one of those guys and a target?

  6. Need a hint on level 34 please. No matter how I try, the guy is stuck at the corner after helping me on the first two rings.

  7. For 34:

    - You need to move your colleague to three different points to activate the three targets respectively. On each of those moves, you want to pass, move, receive back and throw a discus on to one of the javelins.

    - He has to be pushed up against a wall (but not immediately into a corner) because of the locations of the discuses.

    - Only one wall, I believe, will give you a sightline to all three targets.
