There is something definitely that I like about the combination of water with the sand blocks and the stair blocks as art are also trending. But wait! Getting the water to the second elevation: is that a new trick? Nice simple level. Another trend. Spoiler: Well done Well done with the description fitting in with the solution along with the red herring forcing the observation. Thanks for the schooling.
Well, to answer the question, I would say E for east. But what does the O stand for? O wait, I get it now. <<< O stands for this sentence when you find the solution. Seriously though, nice level.
I agree that the visual with the mix desert and water blocks is wonderful. I didn't thought first this level as difficult until... Spoiler The red herring! I have spent times trying to find THE trick That's my reason for the fifth star. After a reboot I thought about the possible alternative third way on the rotate path. Bingo! To me it's not a new trick as I already meet it in a custom build, but it's a great use!
Nice and clever puzzle, beautiful design with the desert look and the stairs. I had to restart the level and when I caught the hint it was great! Excellent level!
I could not believe it when after several attempts I got the solution right. Definitely, sometimes, you have to take the path in the middle. Spoiler: The 5th direction northeast
