    Never saw the original but this level is quirky and i liked it . Unfortunately the budgeable claustrophobia is not needed as it is quicker to use a delayed autopilot to land B on P and I thought the flamboyant would be more fun! Thanks.

    I also try the first vers before but got stuck at the end. With your tweaking, I can finish this lv. I'm curious about the ending if @Netizen post it again.

    I've been impressed by many of @Etcetera's levels, including the recent Triglio, with its surprising moves and beautiful design. The ending was a little too tricky for me to accomplish consistently, though. So I came up with something a little easier (and tweaked another area to improve reliability).

    Yeah. I liked this ending rather than the ending of the author. Your tweaking at the last move is more obscure to figure out.

    The other day I saw an interesting unlock-the-box level, Gift Box by @Iskandar. I liked the simplicity of design and intricate mechanism of interlocking sliders. When I got the box open, I had an idea to add a little challenge at the end:

    Whoa.. I appreciate this, I didn't expect. Right, now there is a bit of a challenge, I'm a little confused and see a video of the solution. Excellent, thank you.

    That second image is just too bittersweet to look at.

    Another great level by @Fendi the other day, Garden Lamps. Creative, surprising R moves, his specialty. The ending was interesting too, but I wondered if I could tweak it so B could survive? I haven't much liked the stairs-on-the-win usage I've seen in levels before, but in this case I think it works well. I also worked on a couple small shortcuts up top and made more use of the flying piece. Gave P an entrance, too. But the fun gameplay is mostly the same.

    UPDATE: I edited this a bit more because the mekorama update to version 1.4.5 broke the original R spin move in this level. The new move I came up with isn't as great, but still fun.

    @cimarronline I think, you're very creative when you start to revision other author's levels. I think you must get a promotion:):thumbsup:

    A few days ago I noticed a nice-looking little puzzle by @Marshmallow called PepperMint. And I was more impressed when I saw the creator was just 10 years old. It used a new move that doesn't work on the older version of Mekorama (the young people catch on quickly!) so I started wondering if I could tweak it to make it playable with the old version. Here's what I came up with, using some old school tricks instead:

    So many bot riding and stacking :rotf:
    Also those stacking and riding inspires me on my following levels. Thanks @cimarronline! Original level is also nice. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    In the spirit of the season I played some of the old Christmas levels, including my favorite, Silly Santa, by @Block builder. Fun and whimsical. There are some R instabilities, so I tried smoothing them out, then had a fun little idea to add to the puzzle (I couldn't help giving it a new name too). Merry Christmas!

    I just found another little gem by @Fendi that's not in the forum, Sob. Some unusual, fun moves, with his usual attractive design. But there's two tricky moves that can leave B stranded (which explains the title?), so I tried providing recoveries there, and also added a couple little ideas to the puzzle. The new title is a clue, too.

    Here's another great @Fendi level I enjoyed recently, Niche (from the unpublished levels thread). Funny and surprising R moves at the end. The last fall sometimes would make R "loopy" and stuck, though. So I added another stair to help R straighten up at the end (I've found stairs often help a loopy R recover; I also just added some to help R in the last huge leap in Operation Dark Magic). And on my ipad, the lower falling piece falls as soon as R gets near it, making the level unplayable. A common issue with balanced pieces. I've found if I put a wire under that piece instead of a block, it falls properly on all my devices. I added a little extra move at the end, too, so B wouldn't get bored waiting around.

    Last week I happened to catch an impressive level by @Rizal called Sinubing (no longer in the forum, but solution here). The great church design caught my eye, then the working elevator got me playing. But there are some very hidden parts and a couple pretty risky moves. I thought I'd try to make it more playable for less-than-experts, and then I added one little move at the end to give B some more excitement.
