Here are some hints on how to solve some of the trickier
levels in the shareware version of Epic's HeartLight puzzle
game.
This assumes that you've already figured out the basics of
playing the game and are familiar with the operation of the
rocks, grenades, and baloons.
LEVEL 3
-------
Clear a path through the grass so the grenade can be
pushed around and finally dropped down next to the
left-hand side of the room at the bottom of the screen.
The grenade will blow a hole in the side of the room
so you can get to the exit.
The diagram below shows where the grass must be cleared.
#################

#H++ ++++++++++O#
#### +++++++#####
#+++ +++++++++++#
#O++ ########++O#
#OO+ # #+OO#
#OOOO# exit #OOO#
#OOOO# #OOO#
#################
# = floors/walls
+ = grass
H = heart
G = grenade
O = rock
LEVEL 9
-------
This is a dexterity test. You must collect all the hearts
and reach the exit before the detonating chain of grenades
blows up the exit.
LEVEL 10
--------
Clear away enough grass so you can drop the two rocks that
are above the left-hand room into the space between the two
rooms. These rocks should be dropped right on top of the
rock that is already there between the two rooms.
Now push the grenade from the upper-right area of the screen
across the top of the right-hand room and drop it into the
space between the two rooms (where you just put the other
two rocks). The grenade will blow holes into both rooms so
you can get the heart out of the left room and eventually
reach the exit in the right room (after you've collected all
the other hearts on the level).
LEVEL 11
--------
After the two moving rocks finish moving, push the rock at
the lower-left corner of the screen as far to the left as it
will go.
Remove the grass that is blocking the left-hand doorway that
leads up to the second floor of the pyramid. Quickly move
back down and to the right of the doorway so that the rock
that falls through the doorway is to your left when it hits
the floor. After the rock falls, push it as far left as it
will go.
Do the same thing with the right-hand doorway that leads up
to the second floor of the pyramid, and also push this rock
as far left as it will go after it falls.
Now, run up to the top of the pyramid and then let the
grenade fall. You should now be able to grab the heart and
get to the exit.
LEVEL 13
--------
You need to pile up enough rocks at the bottom center of the
screen to make a bridge between the two halves of the level.
Then clear out most of the grass so you can drop the grenade
from the upper left of the screen onto some grass down next
to where you've built your bridge. Then slide the grenade
across the bridge and drop it right next to the bottommost
rock of the diagonal formation of rocks that's blocking the
exit. This is easier said than done.
LEVEL 17
--------
There are lots of grenades on this level, but you only need
to be concerned about five of them. At the beginning, they
are located like so:
#####################################
# 1 5 #
#++++++++++++++++++++++34+++++++++++#
#++++++++++2++++++++++++++++++++++++#
#+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++#
. .
. .
You need to move them so they are arranged like so:
#####################################
# 1 5 #
# ++34++++++ #
#++++++++ 2++++++++ #
#++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++ #
. .
. .
Then, quickly remove the grass between grenade number 1 and
grenade number 2. Grenade number 1 will fall, causing
grenades 2, 3, 4 and 5 to detonate. When grenade 5
detonates, it will blow a hole in the "ceiling" so you can
go through and get the hearts at the top of the screen.
LEVEL 19
--------
Remove the entire bottommost row of grass on the screen. Be
careful not to let any hearts fall down to the bottom of the
screen and to not let the baloon move while you are on your
way down there to remove the grass.
Now, remove the peice of grass just to the right of the
baloon. Push the baloon over one space to the right.
Now, go back and clear a path so the left-hand heart
falls down and lands on the grass right above the baloon.
Also clear a path so the right-hand heart falls down
on top of the left-hand heart.
You should now have something like this at the bottom
of your screen:
. .
. .
# H #
# +H+ #
# E+++++++ #
# B+++++++##### ###. . .
#
########################. . .
# = walls/floors
+ = grass
H = heart
B = baloon
E = the elf (you)
Remove the two peices of grass immediately to your right
(see diagram above), so that the hearts can fall down on top
of the baloon. Now, QUICKLY move to the bottom of the
screen and push the baloon to the right as soon as the
weight of the hearts pushes the baloon to the bottom row of
the screen.
If everything has been arranged properly, you should now be
able to push the baloon all the way across the bottom of the
screen until it floats up into the right-hand room.
Push the baloon around so it is under the rock. Remove the
grass between the baloon and the rock, and let the baloon
push the rock up. Then push the rock to the left so it
falls down and detonates the big pile of grenades.
You should now be able to go back and collect the two hearts
and then make for the exit.
LEVEL 20
--------
Hey, I've got to leave you with at least one big challenge
to solve on your own :-)
