The flying saucer can be fixed with a minimum of 31 moves.
First, move down the two ┐ on the right. Then line up the two ■ shapes in the top-right corner of the ship.
Continuing from Hint 1: Collect all four ┐ in the middle row, moving the two ■ shapes to the left and right as needed.
Once all four of the ┐ are in a row in the middle, return both ■ shapes to the top-right corner.
After that, try to maneuver the red ┐ into the bottom-right space and move all of the other ┐ to the far right. This will give you the room you need to move the energy ball into the top-left corner.
Slide the light-blue ┐ into the bottom-left section.
Then slide the dark-blue ┐ into the indention on the left-hand side. Gather the two ■ shapes in the middle row, and move the energy ball to the top-right corner. Slide the two ■ shapes to the top left, and move the red and yellow ┐ to the left-hand side. Almost there!
