1st things 1st

Your description doesn't encourage me to play - but I'll give it go?

Whoops - B won without using P or the high ball. Is this a shortcut?

@gmacpro you can. However, if a particular step doesn't seem to work or is very unintuitive, then there's no problem moving on to the next level.

@gmacpro | it could be a shortcut. It all depends on how you figure out the most effective steps to win.

Not very annoying. My initial impression was that pillar-R was purely ornamental but having two balls in the water make the final step more reliable.

I retried as intended and I can see why you said annoying as the bots gets stuck together and B will not run - a very annoying move to me. B won as intended I believe.

Spoiler: Shortcut

I believe it was more luck as the ball drifted on the 1st attempt so B was able to get on the ball and also go to the win. So, B auto piloted onto the lift, SBS past the stairs, use low ceiling to get on the pillar, got on the ball and went to the win.

@laurence.gr - So based on @GFJ - the shortcut is real....

@gmacpro my bad
Yes, it's there. And yes that's almost my intended solution. (the thing you did). I forgot to upload a video but will share in a moment.
Thanks for playing, feedbacks, and rating.

@laurence.gr - So the upper ball and P are red herrings?

Nice!

@gmacpro, no.
My solution uses all of the balls and bots.
But since I say that the level could be annoying, I let players decide how they will use the resources they can find to win.

@gmacpro the SBS part wasn't intended. I missed that part and should have changed the stair block to prevent SBS. @GFJ The video is in the caption tab.

Didn’t find any bot sticking or anything irritating. The full two ball solution was enjoyable and i think I completed same as @gmacpro

Fully agree, it is really annoying. :mad:
I hate those frictions when guiding R.
Thanks!

I had fun with this one but...my solution was...uuhhmm...Tricky but easier...I think that it isn't a shortcut...what do you think?
