Metal Massacre

Maybe I should have called it 'Rube 4', because B doesn't have much to do. Oh, well... (no tricks needed)

      Massacre indeed. Of my tiny brain, and fingertips.
      Many restarts to figure where balls should go.
      Then many more restarts because of R's funny instability (he ended up on the ramps many times), and because of the balls stuck on the spoke tips of the wheels. I learned to
      freeze P on the lifts to calm down R, and to move the ball distributing ramp quickly
      So i was thinking 4 stars for those problems but went for 5 because of the very good puzzle. And for all Jom said.
      And because i admire the level creation (dedication and effort) of anyone who does create. Especially after trying it myself :confused:.
      BTW, who uses the built in level creation tool, who uses mekostudio??
      And thank you!

      @mossieurclo I use the built in editor - I don't like using Mekostudio for anything other than optimizing the QR code.

      I really liked this level, largely because I was able to beat it without spoilers :p It definitely tested my brain, I repeatedly had to start over because I completely forgot I had to route the ball after pushing it. I enjoyed the first thing you had to figure out, I thought it was clever. The level looks good too.

      The ball occasionally got stuck in the spinners on the sides, but I'll blame Mekorama's painful physics engine, not the design.

      One place I wish there was more stability is in cylinder R carrying R. R would repeatedly turn away from the steps at the top of the level and get stuck on the railing. I don't know why that happens, but that should have been an easy design fix by increasing the wall height by 1. I also don't know why you put stairs along the long straightaway, R fell off repeatedly there, and I don't think there's any need for that instability.
