Star gates

@The Dutchess

First of all, I had to crop at QR to scan.

Awesome welcome level!
I see the way to Win, but can't see the hidden Star

You could have used sliders to Draggables.

And this Ball is not satisfying.( See pic )

Spoiler

It doesn't get down.

I guess, if you keep that Metal Stair little backward, so it can be used as a sloppy way for Ball.

I am not sure if this level is fiendishly clever or i have not completed it properly. However i played it again to see if it was a fluke but i again won with all the stars. Reminds me of one of @Shroomir Hidden Passages levels. I liked the set of moves to capture the hard to see star.

Spoiler: My gameplay

I did not need to push the hard to roll ball that @Pratik Bhalerao mentioned.

I liked this more than i anticipated: good maze, nice elements of risk, no useless features and nice surprise too (the way to and from the star more than the star itself). Amazing first level! Congrats!
Ball worked well for me too.

I see that @BettyN has used the ball that didn’t roll into the hole for me and I thought was a red herring, so now not sure what the designed gameplay is. Here is my gameplay without using the ball. I skipped the easy star to keep the video short as my ipad short on storage.

@ridgerunner You have it right! This is the way.

Thanks for the compliment and five star rating. So nice for my first attempt!

Spoiler: Explained

The other ball is not necessarily, only handy when you fall off. Than you can at least finish. But you have to roll it directly after the first ball. So a little red herring.

@BettyN Thank you, really nice to hear.

Hi & welcome!! Excellent first level...I was going to tell you about that ball but you explained it... Great design & very interesting exploring gameplay... uuuhhmmm,you have A LOT OF MEKO-POTENTIAL!!!
Thanks for sharing & waiting for your next challenge @The Dutchess

@Pratik Bhalerao thanks for the compliment!

Why should I use sliders? I would like to learn and become a pro

@delator77 Thank you!!! All ready started on a new one, but hard to top this

Hi and welcome to the forum! Very nice first level. Typical in many ways (lots of Zappers, automatic lifts), but very sophisticated nonetheless -- so nicely done. When you use the win block, the other stars become optional ... so there is a

Spoiler: Shortcut

You can use the rotating lever to gently toss B onto the walkway that leads down to where the red Ps are circling. From there he can hop a ride and get to the win if the timing is right.

@delator77 Yes, the Force is strong with this one.

@The Dutchess

Those only Draggables creates noise even not perfect to move in certain position.

With the help of the Sliders, it moves smoothly!

This was Fabulous and took a number of tries to figure out ...along with good timing to avoid the Zappers!!! Most Excellent and unbelievable for a first level! Not sure where B makes tha passage underhill to get to the long straight stairs but he does! Incredible and please keep up the great work

PS:
Forgot to mention thanks for the recovery point with the 2 pillars !
