Would I be correct in assuming that the only way to beat this level is to use hammers to collect all the keys without expending a turn? It's clearly impossible to do in the provided turns (I reckon the absolute perfect run would take up 16 of the 19 turns and that ain't happening).
Baz, couldn't agree with you more. This is one of the stupidest levels so far. Yes, I have seen it done; but what a waste of our time. If you don't get the keys in the first 7 or 8 moves, you might as well start over. This is one level that no skill is needed just plain luck.

If you see videos online showing more moves, this is the reason. The videos are outdated because the video creators make them when the levels are first released. The studio monitors all levels when they are released and they check to see how many players clear a specific level and how long it takes for them to clear it. If it's too easy or too difficult they will "tweak" the levels a bit. The video creators can't keep up with the studio changes so you are still only seeing the first video release.
