      I've won this 3 times and I'm sure all have been unintended solutions...
      My first solution was following the Winbot (which by the way, is amazing how you made him go down!) and I catched up with him in the fall and won.
      My second win was a one time only where Winbot activated himself falling and my last time I fell out of the level and patiently waited for Winbot when he was walking bent to the side.
      I also passed all the level pushing the balls and the falling ground but I don't know what to do!
      This is a great level here, help please?
    • Block builder
      Haha, you found some nice solutions.

      Waiting outside for R to walk by bend to the side, amazing, why didn't I think of that... :D You actually need to follow R through the lower path. So from the start, take the lift down.
      Going up is supposed to be a "oh, he's gone, need to take another route".
      The way R drops is a freak discovery, was just doing some testing with balls and R walking on them.

      @Block builder Well, I made it this far:

      But I don't know what to do when I reach that side...

      @Chuckthulhu
      That stairs is a red herring.
      Another stairs is not. :rolleyes:
      Jump! Jump! Jump!
    • Frenzies
      I just messed around with the first part by going to the 2nd ball and R fell on his head after a few tries :rolleyes:
    • Block builder
      @Frenzies Yep, that's an unreliable shortcut.
    • Chuckthulhu
      Before I rate it...
      I think I figured out the solution, it's the springboard jump trick with the single stairs and B should jump and fall on Winbot, right? .

      I'm kind of cheating, as I didn't win the intended way...
      I pulled the jump (a number of times actually) but didn't land on the Winbot's head... So once I jumped a little too soon testing the jump, and I patiently waited for bent Winbot :D:oops:
      But it doesn't mean I can't appreciate this level, and shortcuts aside...
      Winbot activated himself again in the corner before reaching the rotating balls...
      I think this is a great level!
      I loved the journey, it was filled with memorable moments! (I still can't believe that fall...)
      There are so many great elements that I kept trying and trying because it's just too fun to get through it. So excuse my cheating and thanks for the level! :D

      Wow! Not only survived to win Block builder's level, but also
      hit the bullseye with the first trial of the springboard stairs trick
    • Chuckthulhu
      You're on fire @Khudrat! (not literally, don't freak out...) :D
    • Block builder
      @Chuckthulhu The timing is to start just before B starts to rise up. And yes that corner before the balls, I shouldn't have made it prettier. There were only grass blocks before, i.e. no point to trigger the win. I think it was the last change after most testing. :oops:

      @Khudrat Good job! That means no more tricky levels for you since you caught the trick wizard. :p

      Very funny concept :rolleyes: Must have spent a lot of time testing how to prevent the Win from being triggered accidentally. :eek:
    • Block builder
      @cpw Must have, but didn't... :oops: The win can trigger accidentally in a few situations. But mostly you're ok if B has a 4-block high walking space.

      @Block builder Yes, that didn't happen while I was playing it the intended way, but then I've noticed that:
      Moving the two initial draggables up could increase the chance of R triggering the Win as he falls. It might have to do with the forcefield effect :confused:
