      No tricks! Only 2 bots, 2 balls, 2 sliders, 1 motor.
      This level is small, but a little more difficult than the classic levels. There are specific techniques:
      "push B, freeze and thaw R"
      But these are not tricks!

      P.S.! Probably a little complicated, so I made a Demo of the main logic of the level. LOOK please before playing.!!!!!!!!! DEMO Video HINT
      NO TRICKS, only logic

      @Denis Nazin - I haven't looked at the video yet but what missing here?
    • Meko Guy
      @Denis Nazin - So it happened again. First off, when a ball is two rows high off the surface, it can stop when it hits the surface. Here's a video of the ball - am I doing it wrong? -

      @Meko Guy
      Hello . You are not going to the top there. You need B to get to the vertical slider. With the help of the second vertical slider - B rises correctly to the top, and does not catch the ball! This ball should roll the other way
    • Meko Guy
      @Denis Nazin - I tried that many times too (that ball the other way) and that's not working either. The ball either doesn't make the hole or stops on the manhole.

      EDIT - The restarts are becoming very annoying as everything that I try to do is failing. I sure hope that I'm just doing it wrong as the fun is going away.

      @Meko Guy
      My friend, I don't want you to be upset. You are probably doing it wrong, so the correct path is fairly stable. You probably better watch the video. Sorry, apparently I was a little too clever with this level.
      B must push the second ball while on the first ball. And the first ball must push R and freeze.
    • Meko Guy
      @Denis Nazin - I can't see the way and I've tried numerous things. I sure hope 'No Tricks!' means no tricks - I'll give it another go in the AM.

      EDIT - Just to clarify, I can get B up to release P and I can get the lone star. I can't hit the ball furthest from the win and the other ball fails - I'll revisit tomorrow.

      Forgot to mention - I've restarted well over 30 times.

      @Meko Guy
      There are no tricks. There is only pushing B in the horizontal plane! (Not a trick). And freezing and unfreezing R. (when the R rests against a block) is also not a trick. It's all! The rest is related to balls. You can watch the video. I am telling the truth
    • Meko Guy
      @Denis Nazin - Shutting down for the night - I can win with auto pilot and one ball but that's wrong. Tomorrow...

      I can see the gameplay fairly quick as one of my unfinished levels has a similar move inside but my gameplay still differs a little. I push the higher ball with B on a slanting motor as I couldn't find a more logical/reliable way to do so. The video shows a very clever way. I don't know why I didn't figure it out when I already figure out what to do with the lower ball. I think it should be named as 1 cunning ball.

      @mastersifu @mastersifu Thank you very much!!!
      . I am happy that you managed to win. I try not to make very difficult levels, but I really liked the main idea. Therefore, I did not do a long level. Just 3 minutes.
      @Meko Guy
      although I do not use tricks and complex movement techniques at this level! Exception: ball riding and pushing B, but this is the main idea of the level. Besides, everything is classic. Therefore, I am a supporter of short levels - if there is a complex combination. Imagine if this level was more than 5 minutes:confused:. ..no one would have passed it for sure. When we build a level, all moves are obvious to us. BUT for the players it is not! Therefore, I realized that what seems simple to us may be completely incomprehensible to the players.
      ..I realized that - if there is a difficult move at the level, then you need to concentrate on it and not additionally complicate it. So I made a short level (3 minutes). Now I understand that even this is not enough - and it should be simplified for most players .
      @mastersifu Once again, thank you very much for doing this, and highly appreciated my idea!
      @mastersifu @Meko Guy - Friends, I added a demo video in the first comment - this is a concentrated idea of the level. thanks for playing;)
      Sorry for the difficulties at the level:unsure:, but everything seemed clear and obvious to me.
    • mastersifu
      @Denis Nazin You should spoiler the video as it shows the exact gameplay of this level.
    • Denis Nazin
      @mastersifu
      Thank you very much for your concern. But I decided not to do it on purpose - because I see that it turned out to be difficult. In order to bring bots to the key moment, you need to understand this key moment, and understand what you need to strive to reach. And if this key point is not clear to anyone, then no one will reach it)). thanks;)
    • mastersifu
      @Denis Nazin Perhaps you can add this
      B will need to ride on one ball
      rather than letting the players to see directly the gameplay. The satisfaction when one figures out that particular move is true only when one figures it out himself.

      Tough one to rate as it wasn't hard but yesterday I was blank. When I went to bed, I thought of your level and I seen the game play within 3 minutes.... Attempted the moves this AM and it worked. I didn't look at the video yet so I may have did it differently but not likely. I decided yesterday, if my way works, I'll go 5 stars as it did elude me previously. I guess, the reason it was challenging was if you didn't pick up on THE WAY, there were so many other things that might work and all those things required lots of trial and ERROR to see they were wrong. Good show.
