      i made Rbot rotate himself on top of the squishy slider rather than throwing him off to the otherside. this made him walk straight to the win block. i did it by sliding up and held to the draggable until he rotated and did it.

      Don't think I follow. Before R has been on the other side, he falls off before doing anything else. Did you notice...

      ... the sliding part that moved in the area above the squishy slider by the ball? (assuming you have been on the other side but thought you did nothing effectively)

      Amazing level. Great balance between logic and ability. Thanks!

      @Block builder yes, i think that was the part. like it happened unintentionally when i failed to throw r-bot using the squishy slider upwards. kept the slider draggable held and like magic he walked to the win block. still a good level though. ;)

      Mekorama sometimes seems a probabilistic piece of software... :rolleyes:

      Looks simple but took me more time than expected. Really nice flow and atmosphere :D I think this one is worth featuring!

      I'm getting some weird behaviour, like sometimes R just walks straight off the grass wall... And wanders off into the wilderness...
      :eek:
      Meantime..
      After pushing the ball into the piston thing, i guess R has to go downstairs again, so he can get pushed up once more, to negotiate the block that the ball has shifted..? If that's right, then how do i get him downstairs again? Only thing i can think of is to use the rotating Lollipop to edge him off the platform and then jiggle the platform as he falls... but this feels like a cheat, so is there a better (intended) way? Or am i way off base?

      When R goes flying, he sometimes loses track of which way is North. I've seen him (in this and other levels) circle around like an ice figure skater, walk like a very drunk person, step off or on things he shouldn't, etc. Luckily it mostly goes ok, and he walks in 1 of 4 straight directions from where he lands.

      As for how to get down, you are thinking correct, it is not cheating.
      I think rotators are a valid way to push R or B over the edge, that doesn't require a special trick, just that R or B stands on the correct square. In this case, you need a bit of ability to not let R fall into the water. I've included an easy way back up from the water, so you don't have te restart the level. It takes me a few times every time I try the level.

      @Block builder There's a more reliable way to
      create a draggable pushing block for R -- simply change the end block to a horizontal motor (i.e. like a jump button lying flat). It's how I fixed my Wall Huggers' catapult :D (I always find it interesting that a regular draggable can bounce off B consistently, but R would adhere to the draggable instead. )

      Thanks - Great intricacy and thoughtfulness, especially how you provided ways to get back into the game when a risky maneuver fails.

      I have to confess though, i never got to the win, and only succeeded once in getting as far as the windmill which eventually threw me out of the game (after a furious fight). Maybe i don't have the patience, but that Lollipop fall just takes it all out of me. Well done.
      :(

      Windmill is tricky, remember some windmills from original Mekorama levels... :rolleyes:

      @trids I get your frustration. Being thrown of the level after some time is annoying.
      You can, and should for some time, stop the windmill.
