Order in Balls

Some logic required

Order in Balls

      Hello friends,

      In this level you will have to determine the precise order of the balls to drop. So that everyone can find their own bot.
      Maybe it will take you a few tries before you master the underlying mechanics?!

      I made an easier version of this level, just in case. Or for kids ?
      (The following card is clickable and playable immediately)[​IMG]

      I hope you enjoy this!

      The sequence to remember is just the right length to keep the level simple and enjoyable.

      Used a simple yes-no-yes-no-... pattern, failed, took a screenshot, succeeded. :D No way you can just anticipate all those bot interactions in advance (without a computer simulation or pen and paper and an hour to spare). Fun idea! I enjoyed it.

      @Valentin - I did enjoy it after I figured out the underlying mechs. The upper ball pushes were not bang on but for the most part they made their mark. Thanks for sharing.

      I had to take a piece of paper and a pencil to remember the path of each bot... that has made the work a lot easier :D... but even so my first try was not successful because...
      Since the balls had two routes, I did not realize that their order was reversed... therefore I had to reverse the order of the balls at the beginning to solve this small problem.
      thanks for sharing & for the fun @Valentin ;)

      A very cool and original idea for a level. I like it. Thank you;):thumbsup:

      @ridgerunner I wanted to force the player to use its memory, but didn’t want to torture anyone. Happy if it suited you :)

      @Soohaeib Afeef Hosen I spent some time on the design so that it is simple and cosy. Thank you !

      @Block builder Ah ! I didn’t want to torture the players but I wanted at least some efforts to be made :D

      @Meko Guy Thank you for your comment. I had a version with more mechanisms to prevent the player to manipulate the slide in a wrong order (or cheat, if possible) but I erased them to keep it simple and neat. I have another level almost ready with another gameplay where the balls are easier to push …

      @delator77 You make me happy mentioning the necessity to reverse the order of the balls (unnecessary in the easier version / spoiler). Unless you consider the final order from right to left (ie. in reverse order too)

      @Denis Nazin I’m happy if you liked the concept. A sequel is coming ;)

      Thanks for playing and your comments, everyone!

      Enjoyable level, I found it an intuitive level to play.
      I like how stable the ball pushes into the lineup are.
      Nice ball handling mechanism also.

      @Simone Tat Thanks !

      @97 NinetySeven It didn’t take me the time it takes to build a motorcycle but … :confused:
      (I tested that level a lot:D). Thx !!

      Thank you for including the simple version. It helped me understand the priciple and to complete the main card. Very innovative and
      the reversal is a diabolical twist.
      . Thank you for sharing.

      @MekoMole Ah! I was not sure if an easier version would be of any use. Thank you !

      This was fun and no math needed but definitely a pen paper for me to remember where the stars were considering that the order was reversed! What an interesting concept and I did the easy one just for fun.:p Thank you so much:thumbsup:
    • Valentin
      @Sammy 5 I played my level again, because of you :D Of course I know the logic by heart so I know what is to remember ;)
      You should consider I made this level while doing research for the next levels, with the binary latch. I can’t remember ( :rotf: ) if you played them ?
      (I ask, because I see that you like to play old levels ?!)
