🗺️ Step-by-Step Level walkthrough

Stage 1: Rowing the Boat & Secret Speedboat

Standard Walkthrough: Drag the wooden rowboat into the water, jump in, and grab the oars to row across the bay. Alternatively, stand inside the boat, grab the boat floor with both hands, and jump in the direction you want to travel to wobbly-glide it across.
The Speedboat Easter Egg: Instead of rowing, go behind the two large grey rocks at the starting bay. You will find a secret motor-powered speedboat tucked in a tunnel, allowing you to cross instantly.

Stage 2: Steering the Cargo Ship & Canal Locks ⭐ Key Puzzle

Standard Walkthrough:
1. Jump onto the large cargo steamship and grab the wheel to steer it.
2. Drive the ship into the first lock chamber.
3. Run to the lock gates, grab the large wheel valves, and turn them to close the entry gate and open the sluice gates.
4. The water level will rise, lifting the cargo ship. Drive the ship through the second gate. Repeat the process for the next lock chamber to reach the upper bay.

Stage 3: The Water Plant & Crane

Walkthrough:
1. Reach the water treatment plant. You will see massive rotating waterwheels.
2. Jump and grab the spokes of the rotating waterwheels to let them lift Bob, then jump across to the opposite catwalk.
3. Run to the crane controls, grab the levers, and swing the metal cage box. Use the cage to bridge the gap or lift Bob to the high rock wall.

Stage 4: Mountain Slide & Exit Dive

Walkthrough:
1. Walk to the top of the water slide. If you want the “Surfer” achievement, align Bob’s body, slide down the mountain slide, and make sure not to fall into the surrounding water.
2. At the bottom of the slide, run to the edge of the cliff.
3. Jump off the cliff, angle Bob’s hands up (for head-first dive) or down (for feet-first landing), and land inside the exit vortex pool.

💡 Pro Tips & Glitch Hacks

【Cargo Ship Lift-Rail Skip】
You can bypass all the canal locks and the water treatment plant puzzles. Drive the cargo ship directly into the cliff wall near the high lift rail structure. Climb onto the cargo ship's cabin roof, jump off the bow, and grab the lift rail track directly. Climb up the track to reach the mountain slide area, skipping 15 minutes of puzzle solving!

🏆 Hidden Achievements & Easter Eggs

🧘 Breathing exercise: Get out of the water within 100 milliseconds of falling in. Try doing this at the very start of the level.
🚣 Row, row, row your boat: Use the wooden rowboat to travel all the way to the large cargo steamship.
⚓ Reverse gear: Dock the cargo steamship backwards into the final canal lock.
💡 Beacon: Climb the spiral stairs of the lighthouse on the island, grab the lantern light source, and light the lighthouse beacon.
🏄 Surfer: Slide down the mountain slide without falling off and getting wet.
🤸 Feet first / Head first: Complete the level by diving into the final exit pool. Dive head-first (arms up, face down) or feet-first.
