8. the stones in the row or column that you hit shift by one place either horizontally or vertically There s a rare variant of the common puzzle stone that behaves a little differently Its main habitat are the levels of Oxyd 1 and it s recognizable by the color of its pipes which is orange instead of the usual blue You cannot move these puzzle stones as a unit They behave like the blue puzzle stones do when you hit them with a magic wand The block explodes if it s fully connected or you shuffle the touched row or column of the block 3 2 8 Mail Stones You can use mail stones to send items from your inventory to some inaccessible place in the landscape When you roll against a mail stone the first object in your inventory gets mailed removed and put at the end of the pipeline attached to the mail stone In most cases you will have to build this pipeline yourself for example by mailing individual pipe objects Be careful the mail stone does not work if an object is already at the end of the pipeline It s very easy to inadvertently send objects that afterwards block the pipeline so be careful 3 2 9 Chess Stones mol Like many other stones the chess stones are movable as well But in contrast to all other stones they move in the way of a chess knight i e two squares in one direction and one square in another Always hit a chess stone under an angle it will then move two squares in the direction of your hi
9. 3 1 3 Flags PR Flags are primarily useful on long and dangerous journeys If your marble is destroyed the new marble will appear where you last dropped a flag instead of at the beginning of the level There are two types of flags a black one and a white one which set the starting point of the black and the white marble respectively 3 2 Stones 3 2 1 Lethal Stones You should avoid two kinds of stones at all costs at least if you do not have an umbrella to protect your precious marble The skull stone is as unhealthy as it looks touch it and perish Really you have been warned An even more cunning variant is invisible don t forget your magic glasses The black knight often guards important passageways and he s generally not in the mood to let you pass Bring a good argument to convince him Chapter 3 Some Game Objects 10 3 2 2 Swap Stones is Swap stones do not simply move to an adjacent empty field when being pushed instead they change places with the stone you push them into Consequently the only way to move a swap stone from one place to another is to repeatedly interchange it with other normal stones 3 2 3 Mirrors ER You can deflect laser beams with the help of mirror stones Enigma has two types of mirrors plane mirrors and triangular mirrors A plane mirror behaves like an ordinary mirror It reflects an incoming laser beam if it is perpendicular to the mirror and deflects it to the l
