Walkthrough

(to read the spoiler, select it with your mouse or press "Ctrl+A")
If you fall down to the beige disk, you can make your way back up to the brown walkway, the disk is surrounded by an invisible bowl.
Most of the buttons at the bottom of the brown walkway appear to do nothing, but the main gray one (above the others) disables and enables the kickables, also resetting their position
Play with the blue wheel if you want, then make your way up the path.  Explore by the blue wheel again, if you want.  You can make the wheel turn hard enough so that it carries you up to room with the upper part of the blue wheel (see below)
Head up the spiral, and walk up the lines that meet at the top of the cone.
There are 3 paths in this rocky area.
Left-Path
  Leads to a room with a spiky silver thing.
  Hole in middle falls back to brown walkway by beige disk.
  Follow the path up into the library.
  You can't get to the other side of the bookshelves from here.
Center-Path
  Leads to room containing the rest of the blue wheel.
  On the side with the brown thing sticking out the side, get on a blue square and run against the wheel to make it turn.  It make take some jumping on and off and retrying, but it's possible to get it high enough to jump on the brown thing.
  There are three exits from this upper level: one without rocks around it, then one with them, then one hidden behind them.
  WithoutRocksPath eventually drops onto path that leads to room with blue wheel.
  WithRocksPath: leads to room with two exits
    Left leads to fork:
      Straight leads to surface
      Right leads to surface, with a fork to the right that goes into the maze leading to the island's top.  Just make your way up.
    Right leads to surface
  HiddenBehindRocksPath: leads to purple room.
    There's only one exit, follow it.
    This leads to room with elevator; buttons don't work so you can't go any further.  We'll have to come at this from the other angle.
Right-Path
  Leads to other side of library, and you can jump to the other side from this side.
Surface(there are several ways to get here, as listed above)
  There are 3 identical lookout towers you can climb.
  By the iceboats, there are some bleachers you can climb.
  On the nearby hill, there's a plank leading up to the green area.
  The two entrances on the right lead down into the seating area.
  You can fall down onto the plank leading to the tower, and in the center of the tower, there's a hole you can fall down into the ticket booth area!
  You can walk all the way around this island, but it's easiest to get up near the plank you came up with.  Climb to the top, then go to the other side where the green-light sled is.
  Run up to the sled and if you keep running, you should be able to go to the other island.  You can also ride it back down!
  You can go back to the last island with the blue-light sled.
  There are 3 entrances to the same pipe on the hill: two are the ends of the pipe (which you can't enter), the 3rd is an entrance on the far side. The pipe leeds to the maze mentioned above.
    You can make your way down (there's another pipe at right angles to the first farther down), and come out on the surface, as described above.
  You can take the red-light sled to the other island, the end of the slide is also an entrance to a path
    You can now fall down the elevator shaft from this side and go on to the purple room.  It's under the sled's landing place.

Information

I think the proper name of this Age is actually Swaltu, not PreSwaltu, but I am unsure.
