Trying for the challenge. We've tantalizingly close, but we're stuck at (21,20) pointing W with the gel baby at (19,20), and it feels impossible to get the clusters behind the yellow doors without also destroying the gel baby. Are we routing this thing wrong?

At that point you should have about four trapdoors left and those should be on your way out. Feel free to download my demo for the room if you're looking for a spoiler.

...Problem, we've got eight. Both of them being the sets of 4 behind the doors unlocked by the (9,14) orb. How are we meant to get one of those sets of 4? (If it helps, we start at the set over at (18,10) and effectively go counter-clockwise. Should we go the other way?

To clarify my previous post (my apologies, I was in a bit of a rush around the house :D)

Yes, I did the challenge in this manner, should have said so.

Hope that clears it up a bit at least!

I think you might be getting too bogged down in the specifics of LovaP's solution. I don't think that there is one particular method for getting this challenge so I would encourage you to experiment a bit. If you're still stuck you can watch the first few minutes of this episode of my LP to see how I did it.

Could be yeah. Your solution looks much more natural than mine, I think :D I did a few bizzare convoluted moves...

Indeed there is not, our two solutions look vastly different!

As for the four vs. six, in my solution, I could not drop the trapdoors
