The boat is the key for B to arrive at work (WIN) as soon as possible (; Good Luck !

      First welcome to the forum. I gave your level a look and try but after B gets down to the 5 piece draggable that's about as far as B goes. I'm guessing you have a few hidden things going on so I'll need a hint. I also noticed that you didn't always use sliders as the draggables bang and clang when moved.

      @drss - Bump - I know it's only been 35 minutes but you are online.....
    • gmacpro
      @drss- cancel hint request - things are hidden and I'm not a fan of hidden :(

      EDIT - I found three hidden draggables by luck and luck isn't a part of Mekorama for me.

      Awesome! & Thank you for welcoming me :) . I already gave a good hint in the description :p ( The boat is the key for B to arrive at work (WIN) as soon as possible..
      you need to get out the draggable boat from his station and use it as a key* so B can get to the WIN☺️
      Hope this little hint will help you and i don’t want say too much i wanna see how far people can go :)

      @gmacpro It’s not luck, It’s logic :p it’s all in the description
    • gmacpro
      @drss - No, the hint about the boat didn't help as B isn't even close to the boat and I need to stumble across other hidden draggables. I'm done with your level and I'll wait for your next one.

      I agree with @gmacpro that this level is too hidden. When you use the boat, it's still very unclear how all the sliders block each other, which way they have to go, etc. To make matters worse, they interlock when not being perfectly in place. I didn't understand how to move B from the first half to the second half, so I also used the boat for that. But if one is to use the boat to do that anyway, you can skip a lot of the level, so this is a big potential shortcut. In my first attempt, the ball near the win didn't roll from the curved rail. So I set out and managed to hit the win with the boat instead. All these shortcuts and instabilities are mostly avoided by not using free-draggables. They are often a bad design choice.

      Having said that, I do appreciate the effort put in, and mostly liked what B and the ball did on the highest platform at the start. With different gameplay (not so hidden and no free-draggables) this has the potential to be a nice level.

      I agree with @Block builder completely. I have also won using just the boat to tap the win. Trying to play as intended I got as far as in this screenshot before B fell off the boat and I gave up:

      XD Guys Like i said in the description:
      To unlock the 5 piece draggable !
    • drss
      @nGord you almost have it u just need to
      Get B in the middle of the boat so he can get in the station ( use the stairs) ***
      lol
    • nGord
      @drss - Yes, I saw that... after I lost B to the white space. :rolleyes:
      And since this could happen when he is in the middle of the boat as well, I just didn't feel like playing anymore. :(
    • drss
      I see m sorry to hear that :/ i thought it would be a nice level for you guys but it’s ok i will try something easier next time xD

      Welcome aboard. I really don't have much to add except to say that I look forward to playing your levels as you learn more. You clearly have interesting ideas, even if they didn't turn out quite as you hoped this time out.
    • nGord
      I should echo the same. This was quite the ambitious first level and it clearly shows a lot of thought and intelligence went into it. I admire your style! My first two levels failed for the same reason in that I tried to be too clever in the end. It's hard to take the perspective of the player when you're the creator.

      Like most, I love puzzles that are difficult for my brain, just not difficult in terms of testing my patience. It's a shame here because you did incorporate so many cool things like ball riding and path discovery. I liked that you had a story and that the design was kinda neat too. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to the next one!

      In my opinion a great first level with nice design, I do not want to discourage you to make more levels because using your first as a base you have a great future here in the forum creating levels. I found the first step very fun and different. Continue as soon as the trend is you go improving each day your levels. Thank you for share.
