This one is quite easy, there's no real set way of doing it, just make sure you get the slime remover by dropping some wet hell soil on it and you shouldn't have to many problems. There is an absolute give away of an extra life as well.
Time is not a problem at all and there are six jelly beans anyway. Only one of the teleports is necessary (above the slime remover), you even only have to reverse gravity once to free the diamond in the top left corner with fire sitting on top of it. This is the third of five wet hell soil levels and so far they have all been simple.
Michael Batty told me in an e-mail that there was a mistake with this level. When writing it he changed the earth to wet hell soil later on, and didn't intend it to be used for dropping on the slime remover. By removing the wet hell soil around it, the level becomes much harder, and the only way to do it is to push a boulder through the middle, reversing gravity as necessary to move it up and down.
I tried this and the level became much more difficult, most of the gravity and most of the jelly beans are necessary. I'd give the new level a difficulty rating of either three or four. I editted a Z80 file of the game to make these changes, it can be downloaded here (zipped). The rest of the game is the same, just level 22 is different.
