Ouch, that was exceptionally tricky, I couldn't notice it until I was pointed out it was the right track all along. After knowing what to do, the planning isn't that hard after all. Thanks!

I'm having trouble with the snake-killing.

That's not how you kill the snake.

The hints above are a bit too subtle for me. I've been working on this room off an on for quite a while now and am pretty thoroughly stuck. Following hints above I have toggled the NE tarswitch token. I can stab the gel blob at (11,8) from the south and get some gel babies to work with, but have no idea how to get them anyplace useful. Presumably gel babies from this blob or others around here will eventually get stacked somewhere NW of the snake and get turned to tar babies. I also suspect I'll somehow need the aid of a gel baby to hold down the pressure plate granting me access to the SW token. I don't see how it is possible with just the wubba. Honestly not looking forward to that slight of hand and would appreciate tips for it as well.

When I was stuck on this room, I tried to answer this question

That doesn't solve the room on its own, but it opens up a lot of options.

Thanks. I seem to be able to keep quite a few alive in there. I also seem to be able to duck in to the southwest of them and move at least one or two of them around if I need to. I can also juggle them around from the north and east. No matter what I do though I can't seem to get one to stay on the pressure plate when I need it. I honestly don't even think I've gotten the gel babies in the far west side of the room in the arrangement that i need them in so it may all be moot. I think I need some less subtle hints for this one.

Okay. First, I'll be a little clearer about one point in my last post.

Now I'm going to clarify some things explained in earlier posts. The end state you're going for is this:

Now, in order to do this, you need the blob on the other side of that south passage to to be clear so you can walk through it. This involves what is, hands-down, the most ridiculous step in the room, alluded to in the first couple of posts.

(Sigh)
A year later and I'm giving this another try. I can cut the gel at (11,8) easily enough. But that doesn't seem to resolve the problems I had before. Still can't find a way to get gel babies stuck at (4,18) and (4,19). Best I can do is (4,17) and (4,18). It doesn't matter much anyway since I still can't find a way to hold down the pressure pate at (22,18) in order to get to the second tar switch token, and now my blob that was at least close to that plate is gone. I'm ready for some serious spoilers.
