Walkthru to Galapagos
-----------------------------

There are some gaps in level 3 as I took the shortcut after not knowing what to do.
Currently I'm stuck on level 6.

Level 1: Intro (demo)
First you have to deactivate the force field and let Mendell walk over the edge. Now
you have two choices: towards a blue bridge and an upside down helicopter (mower). Take
the first (easy) choice. Align the sliding blocks to make a bridge. After Mendell walks
onto the last piece press the switch and return.

A green bridge has appeared, but you need to deactivate the laser bars. Go towards the
mower. With a bit of luck Mendell will walk towards the elevator to the second level.
You can either make Mendell jump or change the direction of the mower which is much easier.
On the second level (down) the same mower. Returning you'll discover the laser bars are
gone and Mendell will be teleported to Level 2.

Level 2: Chessboard
Mendell will have to get past 6 rotating sliding cubes, but don't touch the wall elements.
Next Mendell will have to bridge chessboard sliding blocks. Halfway he'll have to continue
a level below Press the wall to deactivate it and let it move Mendell down. Cross a few
blocks and make Mendell jump to return to the upper level. Another chess bridge will follow
and it will return you to the cubes.

Past the 6 cubes you will have two choices, but the brick conveyor belt (left) isn't active.
Turn right towards the chess sliding blocks with a deadly moving pyramide. Bridge a gap
like in level 1, but don't let the piramide touch you. A double piramide bridge will follow.
Next is a serie of teleporting conveyor blocks. Pressing a block will teleport Mendell, even
if he is falling in the abyss.

This is nearly impossible to do so, but it will return Mendell in the end to the brick
conveyor belt. Make a continuous bridge by clicking its pieces. Halfway Mendell will drop
a level. Continue and at the end Mendell will be teleported to green acid waterfall. Press
the levers to let Mendell cross. The green flying object will give Mendell a green acid suit.
So if Mendell is walking towards it press the right lever.

Level 3: Air attack
There's a shortcut if you activate the huge white elevator twice and take the proper green
bridge. But follow the game and you'll meet an ufo. Destroy its missiles by clicking on
them. I've destroyed a dozen or two without any results. < gap > Return and press the switch.
The huge white elevator will take Mendell to a passage with each two green bridges.

Follow the green conveyor belts a couple of levels down and meet the blue sliding wall blocks
after crossing a green bridge. Turn left and let the last block slide you down on another
green bridge. Same problem, but it doesn't matter if you turn left or right. Left you
probably see your target better. <gap > It's a blue floater a level or two below, which will
transport Mendell to the huge white elevator. It brings Mendell to the ufo site again. <gap>
The white elevator will return you the 2 green bridges. Now choose the one which will lead
Mendell to the end of the level.

Level 4: Lava pool
Bridge the lava pool and let the red plate jump Mendell to a ledge Three red plates later
and Mendell walk sover an edge onto a green ledge near a lava pool. take the right exit to
a spiral stairway with red treads. When a tread is unlit you can change the direction, when
lit it can make Mendell jump. Make Mendell jump and turn the stairway tread under him. There
are 6 stairways and the last one is the most difficult as you have to move from tread 2 to 4.
At the top press a button and everything is lowered into the lava pool.

Continue to the lava waterfall and now Mendell must go to the bottom level using wall bridges
on both walls. Some wall bridges are useless. Near the bottom move the wall bridge to let
Mendell drop and quickly again to give him a little push so he'll land on the exit below.
Continue to the green/red lever and press it to create a red board. Now let Mendell walk
towards it and move the block up.

Now move the wall bridge and let Mendell walk onto it. To make Mendell continue lower the
first block and activate the other 2 wall bridges. On the last bridge activate the bridge
below and let Mendell walk onto the red board. Make Mendell jump and activate the wall bridge.
Let Mendell walk onto the second red board and continue so on. There are 31 wall bridges, 6
red and 6 yellow boards. Sometimes Mendell will jump slightly sideways: use it. On the 12th
and last board make Mendell jump for the last time and activate the above wall bridges. This
will return Mendell to the lava pool with the green ledge, which now is empty.

Level 5: Ice water
The green conveyor belt will move Mendell over an edge at the end of a tunnel. Click the wall
to move it back and Mendell won't drop on the cold water. There are a series of blue wall
blocks towards him. Push each to let Mendell move to the exit on the left. Continue and you'll
reach a cold water pool. Mendell can walk onto it for a second before freezing. Now make a
silver dam by lifting the segments, which can be seen slightly under the water. After 6
segments Mendell will walk on an elevator. Press the switch and finish the second silver dam.

Now you'll reach two helicopter blades You can only change the direction of them. Let Mendell
walk on the first and move it counter clockwise. The second one must move clockwise. You need
Mendell near the centre of the first one while the other sweeps him of the blade to the left
onto a green bridge. Continue to the end of the level

Level 6: Windmills
Take the right elevator and open the gate to continue to the insides of a windmill. Basically
it's the same puzzle as with spiral stairway except Mendell drops on the next tread. There are
4 windmills to cross, but from the second windmill you can choose to go upside down as well.
You'll skip the rotating bridge after the second windmill that way. The rotating bridge if a
matter of aligning the segments and making sure Mendell can't walk back. The 'upside down'
way is easier. After the fourth windmill Mendell will find his way back to the beginning and
a wooden cube will roll in place.

The other elevator will lead to a bridge with sliding segments. Each segment slides completely
under both wall sides, so be careful. After 6 segment you'll reach 2 more and another passage
in the same direction you came from. 4 Segments later and you'll land on a stone elevator.
Activate it and it will lead you back to the beginning, where the final wooden cube will roll
into place.

This will bridge the gap to the green conveyor belt. Mendell will walk through a green
waterfall, drop to a level below and face a bridge with pulsating hot blue crystals. You can
teleport to another one when it lites up. When it's deadly when its colour turns white. Then
Mendell faces a bridge with rotating segments. Press the next segment until it slows down and
align your current segment to that one. At the end there's a yellow floating object under the
bridge's end, which will disappear when touched and reappears a little bit later. Probably
it's a marker like a lighthouse.

Continue and see the tiles behind you disappear. It's time for some more sliding bridges.
The first one is easy, the next has a wall monster spitting sparks at you and the third lots
of wall monsters.
