High Dive

Bob drove to the local swimming pool. It will be fun, his friends said. That was how Bob found himself atop a very high platform. Unfortunately the lifeguards at the pool all seemed a little weirdly obsessed with getting 5 star ratings for their local aquatic facility.

      And if your B is scared of water and the White, it’s possible to avoid the pool and land on the bus to bring it into play. Looks good.

      Very simple level - not sure what the big draggable was for on the white space?

      B can dive out side the pool.

      Getting Ball at right spot could be luck.

      That car slider was funny!

      I liked the Auto door lock inside the pool.

      The gameplay seems a bit disjointed and random.

      I must go back and try the idea mentioned by @ridgerunner - see if I can get B on the bus, ;):rotf:.

      @ridgerunner thanks for stopping by the pool for a swim. Yes, you can throw B very far, and well done for landing him on the vehicle. It was intended that you should land him in the pool in order to use him to open the door, as this also enables R to get to the small vertical slider to get to the pool edge to go collect the first star.

      Hey @Meko Guy thanks for the comments. Compared to your levels mine will likely always appear very simple. Indeed, I don't think I've ever been able to finish any of your levels without spoilers as they require knowledge of tricks and logic that somehow escapes me. We obviously have very different game styles, so I appreciate you even checking out my levels. As an example of our differing styles, in answer to your comment about the "big draggable" the answer is "That's how Bob got to the pool that morning. He arrived in his car." :rotf: Thanks again for stopping by.

      Hi @Pratik Bhalerao and thanks for the review.
      Just responding to your comments.
      B can dive out side the pool.
      Yes, although wouldn't you rather have a nice swim?​
      Getting Ball at right spot could be luck.
      Do you mean to help Bob overcome his fear, or do you mean to open the door? Bob is supposed to open the door. Originally I had him playing soccer at the bottom of the pool to herd the ball into a specific position but it got annoying to play.​
      That car slider was funny!
      Thanks, I thought so too. I had some spare space.​
      I liked the Auto door lock inside the pool.
      Thanks.​
      I appreciate you taking the time.

      @delator77 thanks for supporting your local aquatic recreation centre. Just out of interest, did you find you can get the first star (on the pool edge at the bottom of the tower) without using R, or is R the only way to get it? In my design I thought that only R or L could cross the steps.
    • IceBlade
      Hey @Jom thanks for the comments. Yes, disjointed and random is how I would describe the behaviour of lifeguards at local pools in between emergencies. Since this level is more about R than anyone else, I enjoyed sending him on errands to walk around the pool, go check out the filters and water pumps, and generally wander around while his mate, L, got rostered on the easy job of watching from halfway up the tower.
      Also, good luck landing on the car. Hope Bob lands safely :D

      I mean, that 'right spot' is a gap, between B and Slider at apex floor.
    • IceBlade
      @Pratik Bhalerao most of the time it doesn't matter, but once, just once B landed and got stuck actually on the ball.

      Bob loved showing off his diving skills, but didn’t enjoy inspecting the pumps and filters. It’s pretty skanky down there!

      Took a while to figure out I couldn't relocate pillar R and had to use that lefty zapper to get that star but the gameplay was fun and interesting.... my B got bopped on the head by the ball falling on him!:p
