      Welcome Sarah, while I was playing your level I noticed an unintended route. I'm just learning about these exploits myself, here's a great link about them if you're interested. I used the 'autopilot' technique. Later I'll post a video of how I did it so you can understand what I referring to and avoid it in the future (should you choose)!

      Hi. I see you've visited my tutorial post, so you've seen how your level can have some shortcuts. But there's something I didn't include that seems to be part of your intended solution.
      If you slide the first slider very slowly underneath the grass block walkway, B will climb up onto it. So if that is part of your intended path, that is actually considered a trick, which most experienced players would see as a signal that using tricks is okay to reach the win. Which puts the other things I showed in my tutorial into play.

      That all being said, if you just didn't know B could do that, try it out that way. Makes the whole level much longer and more challenging! :)

      This is how I solved it.

      I enjoyed the challenge so thanks very much.

      @Don G Rowe hi, I didn't know B could do that. don't know enough about the tricks yet. by accident when I was making it I slid B across so quick, looked like he was breaking his legs and he just slid across the top of the grass block walkway, thought it was neat looking, the him sliding part not the him breaking his legs part. I appreciate the know how, help and encouragement.
    • Don G Rowe
      @sarah renee We call that quirk with B's legs "wounding" or "amputation." When it happens on the whitespace, if you tap B will just jet off into infinity. :eek:

      @Death (and others) - typically it is frowned upon to use exploits when not intended. It's akin to cheating. Often if the creator is well accustomed they may make a comment above or below the card that exploits are specifically to be avoided. But sometimes it needs to be a judgment call on the player's part, particularly when the creator is new to the forum and should not reasonably be expected to know all the ways that someone could break and/or cheat on their level. Thus for the your enjoyment as a player - and for the enjoyment of the creator - it is highly suggested that you try to play a level as intended. If you're not sure, better to ask than to boast. ;):cool:

      @nGord I agree with what you've written. What I wrote does seem terse but that was not my intention, perhaps a better phrasing would be "Welcome Sarah, while I was playing your level I noticed an unintended route. I'm just learning about these exploits myself, here's a great link about them if you're interested. I used the 'autopilot' technique. Later I'll post a video of how I did it so you can understand what I referring to and avoid it in the future (should you choose)!"

      @Death i did not take your comment as tart. appreciate the polite revised comment. nothing wrong with short and to the point, didn't think you meant anything by it.
    • nGord
      @Death I too thought your original comment was gentlemanly. There was only a hint of ambiguity and unfortunately I took action this time to quell it just in case. I can't see all comments on all levels, and I have seen worse examples of poor manners directed at missed exploits. Thus I take every opportunity I can to set the agenda where other players may actually read my text and understand the context. Hopefully those that are more curmudgeonly will take note.
    • Don G Rowe
      @Death What @nGord was saying is, "If you find a trick shortcut, keep it to yourself." You should then try and finish the level "cleanly" and comment/rate on that basis. Part of understanding the shortcuts/exploits is accepting that every level more than 2 blocks tall might have them. You would not want others to play your levels like that, so just don't play theirs that way.

      Thought you might like to see a movie of my solution ...
