Spoiler: Video Solution

Superb level. Many balls and many possible directions to fall. What to do with them all. Not able to view the video in my hotel but i am fairly confident that i have the designed gameplay especially as my tricks tally with those listed. Liked all the moves around the star ball and the vital autopilot that got a ball to fill a hard to fill hole.

Awesome

My gameplay was the same as video.

Excellent tricky level... uuhhmmm, just when I completed the level was afraid that I missed something cause...

I left one hole empty but seeing your movie I noticed that was part of your intended solution... the only difference is that I used all the tricks you said except squat drop,but honestly I did not miss it cause my tricky gameplay flowed naturally

thank you for sharing, for the fun & for the real Meko-challenge @Meko Guy

@Meko Guy well, I was curious about the non use of that trick so I re-played the level & saw again your movie & to my surprise noticed that my move was maybe more intuitive & logic than the resource of your trick... look at this...

Is strange that you did not see this simple move, don't you think, my friend?

@delator77 - I'm getting old so it's not strange - just kidding - I don't see a lot of moves that are right there in front of me. Thanks for sharing and of course, thanks for P, C and R.

@delator77 ..i missed that move too! Having spotted the nice designed move i suppose i was too focused on using it.

@ridgerunner - @delator77 - Here's my issue. When I start building a new move/section, I build the move to work and then check for what else could the player do... Up to this point, I should have a working move (stable) and one way to accomplish the move. At this point, I've worked out all issues and then I'm finished with it. This would mean that I tried all possible ball drops, ball rolls, bot bumps, auto pilots etc, etc assuming I didn't miss one or two. Of course, this section can't be the entire level so it must lead to another one. If I build outward, then it starts to become tricky as you are adding in more moves but also looking to see if it affects the first part. I like to interact the two so they work together instead of just having 2 completely different ideas. Some times, I may have 4 new cards with 4 different moves and then I'll try to join then into a 4 section level. Getting the right layout is important for flow again plus I also aim for the smallest size over full size.
Many times I'll introduce a new shortcut (hopefully I see) and then I'll change a new move that I already built 2 weeks ago that was fully tested and now my quick fix, either changed how that move works or maybe introduced another way to accomplish it.
Sometimes, I change a section so many times looking for the best flow that when I rebuild the section, I don't include a lower stairs that was preventing SSS, etc. I do play my levels 20 to 30 times before posting so I know they are stable but I don't look for shortcuts or alternative ways as that process was done long ago. I have looked at the so called completed level just like a starting move but the possibilities are huge and if I do find an issue (shortcut), blocking it can be another issue without introducing another shortcut or instability. Building levels isn't easy but I enjoy it.

...
easy,
but at the final move
when we perform autopilot
on 3 balls, sometime it is unstable,
causing me stuck between stairs.

i dont know why,
my problem always be around
perpendicular stairs.

superb @Meko Guy
