• How can I skip a Level?
• I've created a few Levels of my own but I'm only able to play them in the Leveleditor, not in the main game?!

Question: How can I ignit a stick of Dynamite?

Answer: Just hold down the "ignit"-key for two seconds. With the standard Keyboard layout the ignit-key is the spacebar. You can change the Keyboard layout using the Options.

Question: How can I kill an enemy with a Boulder without getting killed myself?

Answer: Just hold down the "touch"-key together with a direction (in this case: right). With the standard Keyboard layout the touch-key is the left CTRL-key. This will "touch" the square to the right of the player (remove the earth) without the Player actually moving right.

Question: How can I skip a Level?

Answer: You can either alter the Level using the Leveleditor (e.g. increase the time) or you can use the advanced Options to alter your handicap (the highest accessable Level).

Question: I've created a few Levels of my own but I'm only able to play them in the Leveleditor, not in the main game?!

Answer: There are a few Errors in a Level that will prevent the game from playing the Level. The Leveleditor will show a red X in the list of Levels if there is such an Error in the Level. You can get more information on the Errors by opening the "Check Level" Window.
