I bet you're all getting tired of these requests.

Anyway, I have been playing the demo version from Amiga Format, (which
means I don't know if it's the same one as on ab20).  ANyway, it only
has 3 levels, the first two of which I can now comfortable breeze through,
which brings me to:

	D O O M !

it says on the wall, it's the metallic-pig's-head-for-an-exit level (the
demo calls it level 3).  It has, from left to right, a suspending chain,
an flat space, a brick wall with blue arrows pointing (flowing, actually)
to the left, another flat space, a firepit, a flat space, then the exit.

 8                                8
 8  E                             8   
 8     |<<<<<|              n n   8  The "E" is the place they enter from
 8_____|<<<<<|_____,,,,____(   )__8

 ^       ^          ^        ^    ^
chain   wall     firepit   exit  chain

So, I can manage to get my 1 umbrella faller down the far side of the
brick wall, on the assumption that he can tunnel in the diection of the
blue arrows, thus freeing the rest.  But how do I get him to turn around
when he reaches the far side?  The little cuss just walks right into the
firepit, and I can't figure out how to turn him back...  

Or is this the wrong approach entirely?

I dunno, I may buy this game if the demo doesn't frustrate me to death...

Thanks.
