      @Don G Rowe, you have to fall down after B hits the far wall and then continue the game.

      @LEVEL BUILDER So exotic tricks and hidden elements? Not my idea of fun, sorry. :(

      I got to the end, and I have to say that this is a really poor level constructed of exotic tricks and hidden elements.

      The hover jump is probably the least intuitive way to drop B down. A basic autopilot accomplishes the same thing.

      Even better, you could have had a slider that you move out from under B to drop him down. There are already others in the level used that way (the lift release), so that approach would have been much more in keeping with the rest.

      The second step with the zapper pass (another exotic "raised zapper" trick) is totally counterintuitive. I still have no idea how I was able to raise the zappers to get B across the rails. Since you have no idea when or how the zappers are raised into position, and the ZapR becomes unstable on the stairs due to the low ceiling, it's just pure luck to get past it. It's not even timing or ability at that point.

      Then, you get through the ZapR gauntlet in the familiar ways, only to find a ball on a flat surface that you have to manage to knock into the hole, which requires the also frowned-upon boogie-bot trick to run B back and forth. And even that won't work all of the time.

      The resulting combination is at turns exasperating and annoying ... something a good Mekorama level should never be. I understand that you are new, and the good news is, you seem to have a firm grasp of the mechanics. Now you just need to integrate the tricks more naturally in ways that other players (who know the tricks) can see easily.

      That's one of the reasons @Meko Guy asked about the trick list. That's a way of letting other players know what to look for. Otherwise, it's hard to know if that was what you intended. Hope this helps, and please accept my apologies in advance if the tone seems harsh. That was not my intention. Happy building! :thumbsup:

      I hope, I will build a level which would be worth playing for you:).
