Double Trouble

PUZZLE 105

Puzzle Location: The bridge (The speaking tubes)

Control the knight and the princess at the same time so they both reach the exit.
Touch the control arrows to move them both one square in that direction.
If there is a wall or obstacle in that direction, the affected character will not move.
If even one of them falls into a hole, it's game over.
Let's see if we can help these two out.

Hint 1

The obstacles may look like they're in the way, but if you use them wisely, you can move just one character at a time.
It can also sometimes be important to move one character in the opposite direction.

Hint 2

There's more than one way to solve this.
Let's look at a solution where we first bring them together and then take them to the exit.
This solution has fifteen steps.
First move down two so that they are both in the same location.

Hint 3

Continuing on from hint two...
If you imagine the two boards lined up on top of each other, you can see a safe route going around the right-hand side ob both of them.

Super Hint

Continuing on from hint three...
When you have them both in the same location, move them up one and then across to the right-hand edge.
Then just head diagonally towards the exit.
As long as you make sure the princess doesn't fall into a hole, it should be simple enough.

Answer

The answer is as follows.

left, up, up, right, right,
up, right, down, left, up,
left, up.
