Pit and Pendulum

Inspired by the Edgar Alan Poe story and also a scene from the movie Galaxy Quest.
Fairly self explanatory gameplay. Elements of repetition but some subtle variations to look out for, especially on the first level. Sure there is scope for shortcuts with autopilot but my levels are no go autopilot zones.
If B is knocked to the ground re enter the game at ground level. Zapped means zapped and restart required. Self playing cheat card included to allow restarts at midway point in game.

Вдохновлен историей Эдгара Алана По, а также сценой из фильма «В поисках галактики». Достаточно понятный геймплей. Элементы повторения, но есть и небольшие вариации, на которые следует обратить внимание, особенно на первом уровне. Конечно, с автопилотом есть возможность срезать путь, но мои уровни не являются зонами автопилота. Если B повален на землю, повторно войдите в игру с уровня земли. Zapped означает, что компьютер заблокирован и требуется перезагрузка. Включена чит-карта для самостоятельной игры, позволяющая перезапустить игру в середине игры.

Edgar Alan Poe istorioan inspiratua eta Galaxy Quest filmeko eszena batean ere inspiratua. Nahiko bere burua azaltzeko jokatzeko. Errepikapeneko elementuak baina aldaera sotil batzuk begiratu behar dira, batez ere lehen mailan. Ziur pilotu automatikoarekin lasterbideak egiteko aukera dagoela, baina nire mailak ez dira pilotu automatikoaren eremuak. B lurrera botatzen bada berriro sartu jokoan lur mailan. Zapped esan nahi du zapped eta berrabiarazi behar da. Norbere jolasteko iruzur-txartela barne, jokoaren erdialdean berrabiarazi ahal izateko.

Liked the design with the heavy looking pendulums.

I love timing levels & this one was very nice.Very cute pendulum design too. Thanks @MekoMole well done!

Thank you @ridgerunner. I like the pendulums but feel that they lack the charisma and menace of the Bar L Apes in Jungle Book.

Thank you @delator77 for a very kind review. I find timing levels difficult to build in that I design to what level of difficulty my ageing reactions can master, and more importantly, test. Hope it wasn't too easy.

Love the pendulum mechs, they are partially predictable and partially not. The zapper and linking path variation keeps you sharp.

Thank you @Block builder. I think the occasional unpredictability of the pendulums is due to slight wobbles which cause the pendulum to sometimes graze the blocks running crosswise. I'm not sure of the physics of a block but it does have appreciable mass. Obviously with a long moment arm this is amplified and produces the wobble. At least that's my theory.
I appreciate the comment about path variation as I was concerned the path was too predictable and repetitive.
As always a favourable review from a master builder is much appreciated.

I really liked !
I felt like playing an old video game.
Of course I made the mistake to follow L in the will to bypass half of the end …
(—>restart!)
The level also reminded me the cave of an old castle in an ancient quest

Great use of physics !

Thank you @Valentin, delighted you liked it. Compliments from famous builders always welcome.

I know that there are many fans of this genre, but I don't really like the style of timing levels. But it's just a matter of taste. I know for sure that many people on the forum really like this genre.

But of course I couldn't pass by your level and I played.
This is a really good timing level (very well calculated) and by the way, thank you very much for the tips on safe places!! This is concern for the players and I really appreciate it!
Very good pendulum mechanism! In my opinion, the pendulum mechanism is the main goal of this level. It's cool and very well integrated into the gameplay. This level certainly deserves a 5. And is a good representative of this genre. Thank you
