House Climber

Spoiler: I'm stuck here

I can't get R to step across onto the stone cylinder - he just keeps marching back and forth on the metal elements. Can't even shake him off by sliding his platform violently...

... Am I barking up the wrong tree?

@meko - Nope, I'm still too stupid - sorry

Spoiler

Does your tip apply from the point in the screenshot? Or from the start (home)? Cos those steps near home are not helpful to me (except for B to get DOWN to the ground, at the beginning). Most importantly - who reaches the target? R or B?

@meko - I'll try again in the morning. It's just past 01h00 here right now. Thanks for all the tips, I'll be in touch

Congrats, great clean and nicely crafted level. Finished after couple of tries. Just one problem is, zapper near roof is hard to avoid for TWICE. I almost finished half level 10 times but after that I was able to make it pass twice. Nice use of climbing tricks at both ends. Kudos.

@meko - I think i must be missing a trick somehow.

Cos i can get to this point without any problem..

.. But getting B to take a step forward there, onto the stairs?

And you have mentioned something about "going back to the home stairs and climbing the roof of the house again".. I don't what this means, cos i don't need to do anything like that to get to the position above. I never use the elevator at the home stairs. What would i do with it? If i go too high, i get fried by the bot. I can't step off or get thrown off onto the roof (what would be the point anyway?)

So there must be some trick that I'm missing, to get B to take a step forward (in the screenshot above) - right?

UPDATE: Wait a moment - i think i have it! With the elevator in the down position, you target that block just ahead of B on the steps that he can't climb. Then he rushes off back home as if he wants to walk through the house to get there. But as soon as he's on the elevator, you raise him up to the roof and he magically walks across the sloped roof and over onto the other side of the house. I think? Let me see if i can get that to work.

Yippee! It works, he got there..

The roof thing was completely new to me - what a cool trick!

Very clever puzzle, using several tricks, and teaching one or two along the way. Well done!

Great level, thanks!
