Level 7[edit | edit source]
Magneboy is now positioned amongst a broken green-tile path, with only two purple tiles and three blue tiles on each broken chunk of the puzzle. The player should have Magneboy go to each of the blue tiles, taking the purple tile with him. At the end of the level, the purple tiles should be place directly over the gaps, so Magneboy can close the gaps using them and complete the level.
