Genre as old as time, still not past its prime, sliding-block puuuuuh-zlllleeeesss! Eh? Eh? I shoulda been on stage! But right now the spotlight is on James Newcombe's Cyadonia 2, the next installment in the bewitching series that adds new twists and turns to the a style of gameplay that rarely ever gets more than token treatment. In each stage, the goal is to get your four (or less) colourful Cyads to the exit. Once a Cyad starts moving, it doesn't stop until it hits something. Move with the [arrow] keys, switch between them with [tab] or [X], [R] to restart when/if you get stuck. There are 150 stages in all, fifteen broken up into ten different categories, and you can play them in whatever order you like. Sounds easy, right? Oh, but that's what it wants you to think. Though the game eases you in nice and gentle-like, even giving you a handful of simple tutorial levels and some water-wings, letting you paddle around until you get confident... it's a trap!
See, Cyadonia 2 isn't a one trick pony, and like its devilishly clever predecessors, will put more than just a wall in your way of the exit. Sometimes you'll need to collect all coloured gems to open a matching blockade. Sometimes you'll have to carefully navigate around explosive mines that will cause you to fail a level if set off! Lasers, mirrors, switches, keys, glue traps, and much, much more... and hey, who needs moderation anyway? Cyadonia 2's later levels don't think twice about piling multiple or even all of the elements into a stage, and then blowing up that stage to labyrinthine proportions beyond what will fit in a screenshot. The sprawling themed stages feel like a special treat, from the haunted house to the gardens, but more often than not, it can be the deceptively simple looking small stages that can hang you up for a long time. The game offers a huge spectrum of challenge, from the light to the devastatingly complex, and the latter require some serious planning. And a compass. Maybe a walkie-talkie. And some tissues to cry into when you realise you've been staring at the same screen for twenty minutes without any progress.
Be one of the first 5 people to complete the game and win a Cyadonia 2 mouse mat and key ring. Details at James Newcombe's Cyadonia site.
It's this, combined with the huge array of elements, that turns what is typically either a simple minigame in other titles or a straight-forward, no-frills game of its own into something really special and engrossing. Though you can play the levels in whatever order you like, you're probably going to want to play at least the first few tutorial stages of each new gameplay addition or you're going to have no idea what all the little symbols represent and how they work. In a similar vein, the some stages just have so much going on in them that they feel cluttered and imposing in a way that may immediately make players looking for more elegant simplicity back off to other levels in a hurry. However, James' eye for puzzle design and his ability to include every last possible puzzle element into his game makes Cyadonia 2 both a challenge and a real pleasure for anyone who enjoys slow, thoughtful gameplay without a lot of pressure. Though Cyadonia 2 lacks much drastically different than its predecessor, the sheer number of new, cunningly planned stages on offer is enough to keep you involved for a long, long time and are remarkable for the thought they must have taken in their own right. What are you waiting for? The Cyadonia has been doubled!

Cyadonia 2 hints walkthrough
Ta-da! I think I got them all, but some of them might have slipped through the net. When there were a couple of hints for the same level, I've just put them in seperate spoilers. Hope it's ok!
2-3
Both Cyads go down on the left side after the first bomb and end up stacked to the left of the second bomb. A little alternating and both Cyads will be stacked immediately to the right of the second bomb. Move them both down the right hand side and they'll be stacked to the right of the bottom bomb.
Move the one on the top to the left next to the yellow block. Now bring the other one right, up, left so it is stacked on top of the one next to the block. Go up, left and collect the last gem. Now it goes, down, right, down, left, up to the exit.
2-9
From the center column with the Green Cyad stacked on top of the Red Cyad. Green in first then down. Red in. Green up and right. Red up, left, down, right. Red down, up, right, down, left, up, left, down. Green left. Red up, right. You should now be able to figure out how to get both Cyads out of the room and to the exit.
2-11
You'll be moving in a counter clockwise direction. One Cyad in the corner to allow access to the center and gem. Start with Green going down, right, down, right, down. Then Red goes up, right followed by Green going up, right and you should be able to figure it out from there.
2-13
You want to have two stacked on top of each other by the two bombs near the middle and get the last gem from the right. Then get two on that same wall (one by the top bomb, and the other by the bottom of the two yellow blocks) so you can move the top one to the left and get it on the right side of that red block).Yellow up, right. Green right. Yellow left, down, right. Blue right. All three back to the left wall. Green down, right, up, left. Yellow right. Blue up. Yellow left. Blue down, right, up, left. Green down. Blue left, down, right. Green right, up, left. Yellow up. Green right, down, left. Yellow down. Blue up. Yellow right, up, left, down, right. Blue down, left. Green right, up, right. Collect all the gems and then get 2 Cyads (doesn't matter which ones) side by side on the ledge below the red block. The 3rd Cyads should be one level above them to the right alongside the wall with 2 solid bricks seperating the 3 bombs (2 bombs above, one below.)
Move the Cyad on the left up one so it is below the red block and then move the other up to the inverted ledge above. The 3rd Cyad comes left and bumps up against the one below the red block. Move the one above straight down stacking on top of the one you moved left.
Now move all Cyads to the right. You'll have two against the wall stacked upon each other and one to the left kind of floating in space. Move that one down, left, down into the bottom path. For the 2 against the wall; move the top one up, left. Then move the next one up. The one to the left now comes left, down, left, down and follows into the bottom path.
DON'T move the 3rd one into the upper path yet. That comes later after you have gotten the 2 Cyads from the bottom through their paces of collecting gems and into the upper level. You'll see what I mean if you make the mistake of moving a Cyad into the upper level too soon and have to start all over again.
2-15
After you get the yellow gem and the blue ones on the right hand side column, take both cyads back out to the left. They should be side by side, with the left one in the corner on top of the green block and to the right side of the silver pipe-thing, and the right one floating just to the left of the entrance to the right side column.
Move the left cyad up into the entrance to the top right part. Then move the other cyad one spot to the left to occupy the place the other one just left. Move the first cyad back down and to the right so it is against the green wall right above the entrance to the right column.
Then move the second cyad up into the entrance to the top right part where the other one just was. Move the first cyad one to the left so it is resting against the silver block. Move the second cyad down so it is on the first cyad with a direct line to the red gem.
3-3
Start by pushing the push block straight down. Then 'walk' the Cyads up the left wall by alternating between them so they are stacked on top of each other. One will be even with the right hand yellow block and the other will be right above that one. Move the bottom one right, up, left, down so it is on top of the middle block. Do the same with the other one so it stacked on top of the first Cyad. Now move the top one right, down, left so it is immediately to the right of the other Cyad and one space right of the block. Take the other Cyad up, right, down, left, down. Push the push bloack up against the other Cyad and it will be above the middle block with both Cyads on either side of it. Take the Cyads down and to the exits.
3-6
Just one block goes into the right tunnel. The second one is against the right hand wall to set up the Cyads for going into the tunnel.
I set it up with one block against the right hand wall, just below the tunnel and the second block one spade away from the right hand wall, directly in line with the tunnel. One Cyad in the upper left corner of the spade, the other at the bottom right.
Bottom right Cyad goes up and pushes that block in front of the tunnel. Then to the left wall to act as a block for the upper left Cyad. Bring upper left Cyad down on top of the lower right one, in line with the tunnel. Lower right then goes to the right hand wall, pushes the block one space (above the tunnel) and then goes into the hole.
Upper left Cyad then pushes the 2nd block (the one that's one space away from the wall and still in line with the tunnel) into the tunnel. When it grabs the first gem, come down to the corridor to act as a block. Back Cyad then comes up to the block, grabs the top gem and the left had Cyad ducks into the vacant gem alcove. Right Cyad pushes, grabs gem, and then pushes the block out.
Now you need to move the other block away from the right hand wall. Pop the hiding Cyad out of the alcove, out against the other Cyad, then around to the upper right corner. Take the Cyad that is still in line with the tunnel back into the tunnel. Upper right comes down, pushing the block in front of the tunnel. Tunnel Cyad pushes it a space away from the wall and you're good to go. That block goes to the top wall and, being a space away, can get a Cyad behind it for the end game. The one that's 3 spaces away from the right wall goes to the bottom as a block for the bomb.
3-13
you need to keep the pushblock on the same level as it is with the two Cyads stacked alongside the left wall. One even with the pushblock and the other one on top. Use the lower one to move the pushblock to the right, but only as far as 3 spaces from the right wall. Move the Cyad down to the left-most red block. Now do the little dance around the blocks and the Cyad will be immediately right of the red block
Now move it up and position the pushblock even with the other Cyad. Back down again and the little dance again so the Cyad is to the right of the block.
The othe Cyad moves right and hits the block and then comes down on top of the first Cyad. Move the bottom Cyad down, left to the lower glue spot, then up to the upper glue spot. The rest is pretty straightforward.
4-3
Red cyad goes up, left, up. Yellow goes up, left, up, right, up. Move Red to the right and bring Yellow down on top of it. Red goes left and pushes the pushblock all the way up, then it goes right, down twice and then left so it is alongside Yellow. Finally Yellow goes left, up, right, down, right and up until it can go left and bump into Red and then down.
4-6
Start with the left hand red section but after you hit the switch make sure both Cyads are stacked on the left side of the middle divider wall and that they remain stacked when they get to the bottom. You're going to use the right hand green block to work your way over to the right red half.
The final setup is to have both Cyads stacked on the left side of the switch quad. Then they both go down, stacked, and the top one goes right into the green block. The bottom one goes up against the ledge, over, and down. Before you hit the switch drop the bottom Cyad into the cubby to act as a block. Hit the switch and go for it.
After you trigger the top switch take both Cyads down the left hand side so they end up stacked on top of one another. The bottom one goes left and the top comes down. Now the Cyad on the left comes right, up, right and the other Cyad goes up, left to trigger the switch. After triggering the switch the Cyad goes right, down and the other comes down on top of it.
Now the top Cyad goes right, up, left, down. The bottom Cyad comes right, up, left, down. Switch Cyads and go up, left. Switch again and go up, right. Keep alternating until you have the Cyads stacked on top of each other with the one top being on the same level as the switch and the one on the bottom being on the same level as the green wall. Move the bottom right and then bring the top Cyad up and around and trigger the switch. Proceed to the exit.
4-15
The bottom cyad pushes the block to the right wall, then up against the temp block, then into the switch passage to open the purple door for the right cyad. That one then takes the push block right, up, and left leaving it one space from the top wall. Then pop up and hit the switch that turns off the red block in the bottom right section
The bottom cyad now exits its corridor, up and right, destroying the temp block and tucking behind the push block. Then down against the one-way barrier, left and down into the bottom section. Hit the sticky, up and right against the push block.
The top cyad now hits the switch again, activating the red block and the bottom cyad goes left, up, right so it's on top of the push block. Push the block down, then left till you can hit the switch.Don't hit it yet.
You need to take the top cyad up behind the push block, down, and then left against the one way corridor. Once there, go up and clear out the blue gems erasing the blue block in front of the exit. Now you can hit the bottom switch. The top cyad will have to go back into the little switch closet to get the bottom cyad out.
Now the bottom cyad moves the push block into the corridor and push it until you can access the temp block and through the one-way passage, pushing the block into the upper right corner. Now go right and dissolve the temp block and into that switch passage again.
The top cyad goes into the switch closet and the bottom cyad slams the door on him. Top cyad goes right to a position over the switch. Bottom cyad is happy and opens the purple door and then exits, using the middle red block and the cornered push block to get into the blue corridor. Now the top cyad hits the switch and pushes the push block against the bomb. Get a cyad up against the bottom of the push block, then the other goes to the top, dissolves the temp block and both scamper to the exit
5-2
I'm assuming that you can get all of the gems in the uppermost main square.
To exit, make sure to keep in mind which side should have to go first to leave you an out.
Be sure to use your one way directional arrows. The cyad on the button will go to the left side and the cyad on the sticky will go right.
Just because the one way arrow propels you up, doesn't mean you can't come back down.
The trick is to go under the block that appears with the cyad stuck on the permanent sticky.
Begin with both cyads in the center of the bottom most part of the level.
Hit the button with the cyad on the left.
Switch to the one on the sticky.
Go right, up, down, left, and up.
Switch
Go down(button), right, right, up, down, left, up, and right.
Switch
Go down, right and right.
Switch
Go left.
Switch
Go up.
Switch
Go right
Switch.
Go down, left, and up.
Auto switch
Go up, left, down, right, and down.
You have "SUCCESS!"
5-4
The Cyad in the left room uses the pushblock to enter the right room. The pushblock needs to be on the same level as the gap between the two blocks in the right-hand room. Stack the two Cyads on the right wall with the lower one even with the lower block. The top Cyad goes left and pushes the pushblock into the left room a space or two (doesn't really matter.) The bottom Cyad goes left, up, left into the left hand room. Now stack them against the left wall with the top one being even with the pushblock. Both Cyads move right to the right-hand room with the top Cyad pushing the push block until it is directly above the hole in the floor. Now stack them against the right wall like before and when the top one moves left and bumps into the pushblock it will then go down into the hole. The other Cyad goes left, up, left pushing the pushblock until it can go up into the tunnel.
Take the left block up, right and down. That puts the push block at the top of the opening. Push it down one more time so that it's at the bottom of the opening, then take that Cyad left, down, right and up returning the push block in line to the top of the opening. Then move that Cyad to the right (against the block), down and right (against the right Cyad).
Now you need to position the push block in the right area to make your moves. The idea is to be able to get both Cyads on the same level as the push block so take the left Cyad up against the solid block and then right to act as a block for the right Cyad. Then the right Cyad goes up against the first, then left against the solid block. The first Cyad goes left and hits the push block, then the second follows. You should have the push block inside the left area and two Cyads behind it with the back one being in the opening.
The back Cyad goes down onto the opening block, and left to the wall. The top Cyad goes up, left and down on top of the other Cyad. Now take that top Cyad and push the block into the right area so that the block is directly over to bottom opening. Take your two cyads down to the lower right corner like before and set them up against the blocks, as before. The top cyad goes left, moving the push block one space and leaving the cyad over the hole. Go down into the hole. The second cyad pushes the block into the left area until the cyad is aligned with the top hole. Up, left, down. Success
5-10
Bring both Cyads into the left room and alternate between them until you get the ball next to the opening in the middle. It should be two levels up from the bottom. Stack the two Cyads against the left wall with the bottom one being on the same level as the ball. Move the top one first to the right and down on top of the block so it can 'catch' the ball. The bottom Cyad knocks the ball into the right-hand room and follows it. Move that Cyad up and then the other goes up, left so it is above the ball. Switch to the other Cyad and move it down, right. Switch Cyads again and knock the ball down and follow it. Then go left, down so when the ball is knocked to the left it will stop above the hole. Knock the ball into the hole and move both Cyads to the left-hand room. Alternate between them until you can move one up into the tunnel.
5-12 you have to leave a cyad behind in the little room with the switch so you can get the cyad back after you've sent it round (after one ball) and hit the other switch. Remember to bring the cyad that's in the little switch room round and above the two remaining balls before you bring it back though, so you've got all of them to send back round
6-9
When you get into the top half of the lower room, send a cyad into the bottom left corner and knock the ball into it. Then send a cyad down into the lower room, and knock the ball to the left with the other cyad to get it over the gap and into the bottom room. Then send the cyad against the switch home, and go up and over the ball with the other, knock it down and you're away
7-6
Get the blue cyad to the x, then go through the down arrow with yellow and shoot the left arrow that would throw you into the remaining bomb, then go left and up.
7-8
the key is that two laser frames cancel on the same Cyad and you need to have each Cyad laser charged for the ending corridors so you have to carve a stair step path to the upper right Cyad but don't pick up the laser near by, that's for the blue Cyad. After the yellow is free, carve a path to the upper right laser but just leave it. Then carve another stair step path down to the bottom middle laser for the Yellow Cyad. Stair step all your paths and it's pretty easy, just make sure that you're leaving yourself a way to get to each exit.
7-14
First the top switch, then the middle switch three times and then the bottom. You have to have the yellow cyad on the correct side when you shoot (at the bottom for the first switch, at the top for the first shooting of the 2nd switch, then shoot the switch to open the bar, then yellow goes down, then hit the middle switch a third time to close the bar again, then stay there while you shoot the bottom switch to collect the gem, then again to release the yellow cyad).
REMEMBER to take the red cyad over to the right after all the gems are collected to block the yellow from going through the yellow gate. Yellow needs to help red get out, then can exit stage right.
Red has to come to the lower right area. It can't pass through the yellow filter, so get the yellow out of the way, run the red around counterclockwise to end up on top of the yellow filter, then yellow comes down on top of red, right, down and then both go over to the left to let red escape. Then yellow goes back to the right and exits.
8-10
First get the block out of the bottom. Hit the stickey over the switch from the left side. Then put one Cyad at the top, one space from the wall and the other at the lower left corner. Lower left goes first, then the one at the top. You should end up with a Cyad on top, then the block, then the other Cyad all at the top of the frame, one space from the left wall.
To get the gems you have to work your way up from the bottom. The general idea is to have a Cyad in line with a temp stop and one above it. Break the temp stop with the bottom Cyad then go down around below the block and push it into the Cyad above the opening. Both top and bottom Cyads go to the left wall, bottom Cyad goes up in line with the block, and pushes the block into the chamber and gets the gem and exits to the left wall. The other Cyad goes around the bottom and uses the temp stops to push the block against the gem grabber.
To get more than the first one, you'll have to hit the switch again to close the door to the bottom chamber. Then you can push the block to the bottom, one space off the left wall the right into the wall.
Work the Cyads to line up with the next temp stop with one aligned and one above. Rinse and repeat.
You need the block at the end to get both Cyads into the exit.
8-12
after you have pushed the key up against the arrow path, BOTH Cyads have to go up so one can hit the switch and the other enables that one to exit without hitting the bomb. Both will exit so you can get one back up to where the diagonal arrow is. The arrow will send it down below the key next to the bomb. The ball does NOT go through the teleport.
8-14
Working from the left wall 'walk' your group of 3 Cyads to the right (one level down from the top) collecting the gems along the way until you get below the upper room. Two Cyads go up into the room to get the gem and trigger the switch, just make sure the 3rd one blocks them from hitting the bottom when they exit. Back to the left wall and some more of the around dance so you can get all into the left room to get those gems and trigger the switch. Now all three come back out and start the around dance again so they can walk to the right like before. Eventually you'll have all three Cyads on the same level with one against the left wall and the other two floating above the last gem. One above the gem and one to its immediate right. The one above the gem comes down and the one against the wall come right. Then just move them all to the exit.
9-3
the center Cyad ALWAYS stays on the same level only moving left and right so the other Cyads can move left, right, up and down. They will eventually end up one level above the center (blue) Cyad and then bump into each other. Using this method you can then 'walk' them across the space until they can access the stars. Hope that makes sense.
9-7
1- Push the yellow key to rest on top of the green lock. 2- Clear the green lock. 3- Place one Cyad (3 blocks) below yellow lock, the other on its immediate right. 4- Now one Cyad can reach the yellow key, the other Cyad is ready to go up to the exit afterwards.
9-10
you have to use the green key to position the Cyads to move the yellow key down. Then go get the red key out and up. Use it to access the blue key and get it out. I ended up pushing Blue, Green and finally Red against the vertical wall directly above the Blue lock. Hope those hints help.
9-12
Position the two outer keys on either side of the center horizontal wall, same level on each end. Push the left one up into the lock FIRST. Now go get the center key and take it up the like you did with the key on the left and position it below the below the center lock up against the inner dissolver.
Collect the gems on the right and then push the key on the right up into the lock and go get the gems on the left. This opens the way for the center key to go into the lock. You'll do a little round and round to get a Cyad below the key, but that is pretty straightforward. A little more round and round and you can get the second Cyad into the upper level also to collect the stars on the outer walls.
9-13
(Blue section) send both cyads round before knocking the ball, that way you can get one of them into the bottom hole and knock the ball down and across with t'other
10-3
Since you can only move through the top and bottom row if there's still a block left on the middle row, keep the left- and rightmost blocks of the middle row around as long as you can. Also keep a way around of going back to the middle row
10-7
The push blocks are moved down as soon as they hit the middle corridor. First Pair- yellow's block came out first, green popped the sticky then moved its block against yellow's, Yellow up onto the sticky, green next and down Second Pair - Yellow's block out first again, green pops second sticky and brings its block out against yellow's, then up, yellow against green cyad, then move green around behind yellow's block and both down Final Pair - Both cyads are against the one way blocks. Green (left) gets to go first this time since they switched positions with the second pair. Bring the pushblock out, then use the temp block to get above the pushblock, down, and right against the yellow cyad. Green now goes up and right into the sticky.
Yellow moves the right block against the side of the one-way, then using green as a block, moves the pushblock down. Green now leaves the sticky and goes right, Yellow pops up and acts as a block so that green can push the block against the left one. Green now goes right and up, yellow comes down, green goes left, yellow pops up again, green comes right and stops over the right pushblock. It then pushes it down and comes back up on the right of the last pushblock. Yellow (against the top) goes left, down, right and up. Green now goes right, up, and left against yellow and pushes that pushblock down then comes up again. Since the pushblocks are now gone, you can work counterclockwise to get both cyads over the one-ways.
10-9
Can you get all three Cyads out of the little 3x3 starting area? If not, here's how you do it: Move the middle Cyad up->right->down->right, and follow with one of the other two. With that one, proceed up->left. Move the Cyad under the mine to the left, and keep it there. The "follower"-Cyad goes right->up->left->up->right->down. You can now retrieve the third Cyad, and exit the first room with two of them.
10-12
Green down the hole by the door, red pushes key to orange block then trips around to upper right corner, green pushes key up to red. Both reset with one in line with chute to door, the other back down in the hole by the door (clear the orange gems on top of the chute). Cyad down the chute, other cyad up, break temp block, left, down, left (orange block disappears), right, up against the cyad in front of where the orange block used to be, left and then up into the chute. push the key into the 2nd room and take it around and down on top of the arrows and use it to get a Cyad at the blue gems. Once they're gone the blue block in the 1st room disappears allowing you to get both Cyads to the 2nd room. That's as far as I've gotten. Still working on the rest.
positition the key in front of the passage to the fourth room, with the Cyads directly above and below.
Move the lower Cyad right->up->right, and push the pushstop all the way to the bottom. Move it through both one-way walls, and leave it at the top. Do the same with the Cyad on top, until it bumps into the bottom of the other Cyad. Repeat *again* with the top Cyad, and "stack-walk" both of them down until one Cyad is aligned with the key, and the other is aligned with the block that disappeared after picking the gems in room 4. I think you can figure it out from here on.
10-13
knock the ball onto the glue spot, then knock it left. Take the Cyad down, left, up and left so it is positioned above the ball. Knock the ball down and then go up and around and knock the ball right and then up into the disolver leading to the upper room. The ball stops and now you can take the Cyad up and it will stop upon contacting the ball. Now the Cyad goes right to hit the switch.
10-14
Put a Cyad-ball tower on the second headstone, and then the Cyad-Cyad tower on the first.
I pushed the switches while moving the ball around, and grabbed the gems after ringing the bell.
Yellow goes up, left, up, right. Blue follows the same path and ends up to the left of yellow. Blue goes down and triggers the switch then back up knocking the ball up. Move both Cyads to the upper left corner so they are beside each other. For me Blue was to the right of Yellow. Blue comes down and then right knocking the ball right. Your goal is to get one Cyad on top of the left RIP gravestone with the ball on top of it. Then you're going to stack the Cyads on top of the cross to the left and the top Cyad will knock the ball into the switch. I can go into more detail if needed.
From before, Blue has just knocked the ball right. Follow it and Blue goes down and triggers the 2nd switch, then it goes back up. Now Yellow comes right and down so it is on top of the tombstone. Move Blue left where it will be a blocker. Yellow comes up. Blue is on top of Yellow and Yellow is on the same level as the ball 4 spaces to the left.
Yellow goes right, up, right, down left. Blue follows the same path and the two Cyads are side by side with Blue 2 spaces below the ball. Yellow goes up, right, up left and becomes a blocker. Blue knocks the ball up and then goes to the right richochets off a few bats and ends up next Yellow. Now Blue comes down one and knocks the ball left.
Blue goes left following the ball, then down, left and richochets off a few bats on the left before coming right and then down atop the tombstone. Yellow goes down, left, up, right and knocks the ball down atop Blue.
Yellow follows the ball down and you'll have a stack of Blue, Ball and Yellow being on top. Now Yellow goes right, up, left, up, right, down and ends up on top of the cross on the left. Blue goes left, up, right, down, right, down, left, up, left, down on top of Yellow.
In the house - The laser will blast a way into the next room. The off switch is in the horizontal shaft in the previous room. Beware: turning it on with a Cyad will result in death.
You go into the upper area with one Cyad and the ball. The ball will indeed trigger the laser.
First you use the pushblock to pick up the gem right above the laser, and push the switch that allows the second Cyad to return, without triggering the laser. Then you use the pushblock to get back to the lower area to retrieve the second Cyad. Use the two sticky blocks to maneuver yourself around the laser trigger, while pushing the pushblock around.
Only during this second part (between pushing the first switch, and going back down) do you push the ball again. Don't pick up the group of three gems until the second Cyad is also in the area
10-15 Upper right area
have the movable blocks at a position where you can bring the 2nd Cyad into the room. From there, the next step is pushing the key out, but note that you need both the movable blocks free to move afterwards, one vertically, one horizontally. Then the Cyads are free to open the lock. Also, the blue sticky block is for one of the moveable blocks, which ending position will be on the rightmost wall
Lower left area
From having the cyads stacked one on top of the other to the right of the laser - The last Cyad goes right against the switch to turn off the laser. The other to go up and left so they can knock the balls right. DO NOT block the opening with a ball. Do a little back and forth and you can knock one ball down before knocking it right.
Eventually you'll end up with all 3 balls to the right of the laser path. 2 against the wall and one to the immediate left of the ball below the opening.
A little more back and forth and around and you will have knocked that ball down and you'll have 2 Cyads stacked on top of one another just to the left of the balls against the wall. The top Cyad will be even with the opening.
That Cyad goes right and the one against the switch goes up so you can collect the gem. Keep the laser turned off and bring one Cyad out and do the around about dance so it can block the Cyad when it leaves the switch and comes out. The position will be 2 Cyads atop each other and the other to their right between the 2 balls.
Bring the 2 Cyads down, left and up so they are stacked to the right of the mine wall. The last Cyad knocks the lower ball down and then follows it down. Knock a ball left into the arrow and start the around and around to knock out the mines 2, 3 and 5 counting down from the top of the mine wall.
