No problem!

Try pushing the bottom spike in another direction, and see what blocks that opens up....

Thanks for the hint, that was a hard one but I finally got it!

Yeah, I have perfectionist tendencies too, so these puzzles drive me nuts! I only have one brass ring and timepiece to find (10pm in Shapes), how frustrating is that! I find if I turn the screen upside down or sidewise I sometimes see a new way to do something. Too bad life doesn't work that way!

Found it!

Found the portal in cannon fodder; any hints on getting it?

Glad you got it! Any luck on the brass rings in In Bloom Stage 3, Cannon Fodder and/or Testament Stage 3, Shapes?

This one is tricky. When moving the movable spike up and down, keep a bubble on either side...
