Buried Giant

It's great to see you back! Nice level. Seems simple first but then full of surprises. Thanks!

I'm really pleased that you're come back!

Yay! You're back

Spoiler: How I solved it

I clicked on the spot beside the last stair, then pushed B using the draggable. He dodged the zapper.

But it doesn't seem like the intended solution (I read @chemi's spoiler after). Good to have you back, though.

I think it's another variation of Autopilot techniques, similar to this level of @meko but uses a draggable block instead of R to block the original pathway. B would then try to continue his path in an approximate trajectory to reach his destination.

@cpw I tried that at first. It didn't work.

@Frenzies

Spoiler

By "block" I actually meant push, I.e. Move the draggable backwards as soon as B reaches that spot. I think we're referring to the same thing, no?

@cpw Yep, we completed it the same way

It has been a long time since I first played this level. I too was very happy to see your return @Ricko! I believe that I solved this initially just like @Frenzies did.

Spoiler: RA method

In other words, I solved it initially using the Run Around trick, i.e. having B in autopilot with a bot (or in this case two metal blocks) moving into his way. Note this doesn't work if the blocks are moved to fully block B before he already reaches the spot to "run around" - they have to be in motion like a moving R bot would be moving into B's way.

Funny that I have since forgotten that exploit and this time I used a more brute force method.

Spoiler: BF method

Today I solved it by sending B to the spot just beyond the two metal blocks, i.e. where the zapper would get him. Then I simply used the two metal blocks to fling him to safety. Since at that point B is moving tangentially to the sliding direction of the two metal blocks, his final flying direction is one of a diagonal towards the win block. He still has to wait for the ball to come down though.

What I found sad was that the intended solution (as explained by @chemi) was lost on me. I doubt that I would have ever figured that out on my own and even if I would have stumbled into that solution, I would have written it off as a fluke. I, therefore, think that there is more work to be done in making a great level out of this - despite being featured - congratulations btw. Thanks for experimenting so much to find yet another trick and for sharing a playable level with us to showcase it.
