Hi I am stuck on this level. I killed all the red snakes minus one. I have got the bubba (white thing) on square 20/22. But whatever i try i can not lure the last snake into the trap. Does someone out there have some advice please?
This puzzle requires some pretty standard snake manipulation. To that end, if you haven't familiarized yourself with snake movement rules, here are some pointers about unbrained snakes:
1) Snakes switch between preferring vertical and horizontal movement every five turns. On turn numbers ending with 9, 0, 1, 2 or 3, they prefer to move horizontally. On the other half of turns, they prefer to move vertically.
2) If a snake's head is in the same row or column as you are and it is facing you, it will not turn unless it has to. The same goes for if it's facing directly away from you.
These two bits of info should be a good start. What I would do with this room:

Position the wubba such that it creates a good alcove. Good spots shown here. For various reasons, I would go with #3.
You should be able to get behind the snake and lead it up so that it hits the wall and turns right.
OK, this is slightly jumbled but I think it should give you what you need.
