The last room in this level for me.... I can't figure out how to do this room. I suppose I shouldn't make a 2 tiles big hole in the outer crumbly walls and keep the gel put. But that dosen't work.

Any hints?

Separate the blobs of gel from the gel mother. It's really just efficiency then.

What you need to do is separate the big blobs of gel while not destroying more than one crumbly wall(you probably noticed that there are crumblies under the gel).

I doubt you'll want it, but I'll attach my demo for whoever does.

What I did was actually note there..there are ways you can stop the gel from growing back permanently with clever cutting and manipulation of gel baby.

I tried all kinds of things, kept having problems... Could keep the gel contained in one area but it got too much in another, etc. I tried manipulating babies into helpful spots, but that became as difficult to manage as the gel... But then I finally noticed something!
It can be completed quite simply, with no efficiency requirements, and no manipulating of babies. What looks like an efficiency room (which I generally don't like) becomes a linchpin room (which I generally do) :D.
