Normal solution

Hints are given below when you expand the boxes.

Spoiler: Hint 1 (the golden light) 
This level teases a new puzzle element hidden in the golden light. Take some time to figure out how it works, and be prepared to sacrifice Emm a few times.
Spoiler: Hint 2 
The golden light is spilling out of some holes in the central structure. When Emm walks in line with one of those holes (directly north in the same column, directly east in the same row, etc), something in there throws a block at Emm the next turn and launches her back like being pushed by a Beard.
Spoiler: Hint 3 
It is safe to walk in front of one of the holes as long as you get out of the way on the next turn. For example, at the junction just east of the starting egg in the level, you can walk east and west directly across the line of fire. But if you turn north, you're still in line with the thing in the light, and it will throw a block at you on that turn.
Spoiler: Hint 4 (getting to the exit) 
You can't see the exit very easily from where you start. It's at the end of the northern path in this level (the one being talked about in Hint 3).
Spoiler: Hint 5 
Because the path heads directly north from the golden light, it's impossible to walk along it without staying in line with the thing in the light. There's no space to dodge west or east.
Spoiler: Hint 6 
This means you have to protect yourself somehow. You need a wall or obstacle between yourself and the thing so that it can't throw a block at you even if it wants to.
Spoiler: Hint 7 
Those spokes would make perfect walls.
Spoiler: Hint 8 
You need to rotate the spoke on the northeast corner of the central structure so that it blocks the golden light's view of the northern path.
Spoiler: Hint 9 
Getting to the spoke is as simple as flinging across the little gap to it. Flinging off that spoke's platform is a little harder, but another axle will help you.
Spoiler: Hint 10 
If you fling south from the axle on the northeast corner of the corner to the axle on the southeast corner, you will have more options to fling back to the main path. Then you should be able to walk to the exit!
Spoiler: Hint 11 (full solution) 
Rotate this axle to plug the golden light's view of the north path, then fling south and east to get back to the main path

From the start, head east until you rotate a spoke clockwise. Fling south to that axle and rotate that spoke counter-clockwise twice, so that the end of the spoke is north of the hole where the golden light is coming from. Stand south of that axle, fling south to another axle, and then fling east to a cradle of metal railings. Now walk directly up the northern path to the exit.

Present solution

Spoiler: Hint 1 (present location) 
The present can be found near the SW corner of the map. If you try to walk there directly, you'll get catapulted on to spikes.
Spoiler: Hint 2 
Note there is a View square near the present that shows a GO barrier. If you could make GO, you could walk to the present safely.
Spoiler: Hint 3 
Find the G and O blocks. Where can you get them together?
Spoiler: Hint 4 
The G and O blocks are in line vertically with each other, and can really only be pushed one direction from their initial starting pads. Try spelling GO on the lower platform in between them.
Spoiler: Hint 5 (getting to the G) 
You can walk to the O directly without trouble but you'll get catapulted if you try to walk to the G. There is however a spoke you could use to block that window.
Spoiler: Hint 6 
Use the two axles right next to each other on the east side to stop the G and the O.
Spoiler: Hint 7 
Death will reset the axles.
Spoiler: Hint 8 (solution) 
Flip these spokes around so the G and O land on the lower platform
This spoke can be rotated to allow safe access to the G and O blocks. The red lines show where you can fling around the axle if it's blocking the main path

You need to spell GO to get to the present.

  • Positioning the O (easier one): Fling to the twin axles on the east side of the level (near the east View square). Push the southern axle east so you can get to the View square. Push the northern axle west as a backstop for the O (fling east to the View square then back to get to it). Go to the O and push it north, dropping it down. Die to reset axles.
  • Positioning the G (harder one): Repeat as you did for the O except push the southern axle west and northern axle east. To get to the G: fling to the small platform immediately SE of the catapult tower, then fling south to get south to get to the other side of the nearby spoke. Push the spoke twice to get it to block the catapult blocking access to the G. Go to the G and push it south, making GO.

With the GO barrier closed, walk to the present safely now.
