Mini-Marathon

Fun, hopefully tricky level. Bounce tower based on "Bouncing," by @Richard Fu, with his kind permission. Lift tower based on the original "Castle Red." Thanks to Don G Rowe for his excellent and entertaining but effective advice and input. (Last step hint, see spoiler "last step.") Enjoy!

      Needed three attempts on that last step. It became a bit repetitive so I tried ToA-like shortcuts. I found some, but don't think they saved me time. :D Nice and fun level.

      Thanks, BB, and thanks for the five rating! The last step is really quite simple but there's a trick to it.
      Place B on the ball, bounce him a time or two to get the feeling of the bounce mechanism, then toss just a little higher. B will go through the hole with the ball behind him, and the momentum of the ball pushes B up through the hole to land on the edge. From there, he can triumphantly stroll to the win. It might take a couple of times, but when you get the feel of it, it's pretty cool (thanks @Richard Fu!)./SPOILER]

      Fun sequence of different steps within a nice design. The first jump was very funny.
      Thanks! :thumbsup:

      Nice straightforward level enlivened by that dive.
    • Black1226
      @chemi @ridgerunner I truly love that dive! That dive is one of my favorite moves I've made.
    • Black1226
      @chemi Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed t, and gas I said earlier, I love that dive, and I'm glad you got the kick out of it that I was aiming for! And thanks for the great rating, I appreciate it.
    • Black1226
      @ridgerunner Thanks for the comment, and the excellent rating too! And that dive! Spectacular, nothing less. Makes me laugh every time I play this thing!

      That's a divers(e) collection of tricks (pun intended) - I didn't know B was Greg Louganis. The third auto was a pain for me, and it took several attempts for B to get up on that section of the draggable. After that everything was smooth sailing... except the final move; I have never been able to do that bump. Otherwise it's a cute level, interesting design, and I can definitely see the @Don G Rowe touches. Beautiful dive, and I like the fact that the two pools are connected... B got knocked into that second one several times when doing the third auto.
    • Black1226
      @D.S.Masters B reigns supreme! He's one heck of a diver! Thanks for playing and commenting. If you read the spoiler under Block Builder's rating, it explains how the bounce works and how to do it easily. Sorry you had trouble with it! And, that's the reason for the second pool. Exactly what you described.

      That was fun! Poor B bumped his head on the stone pillar at the dive :oops:. Also, not really a shortcut, but...
      You can actually bounce the ball to the win
      It's a quite enjoyable level overall :D
    • Black1226
      Thanks, Richard!(
      I know, I've done that. Extra points for you (seems natural you would know that, thanks again for this great ending!)
      I've also clipped B on that dive, but I'm pretty sure that I hadn't raised the half pillar all the way. Every time after that, I made sure I pulled it all on the way up, and B never got hurt again!

      Thanks for playing my level, and for the great rating!

      Preety easy but easy levels are always my favourite! The only challenge was the final step that I could do on my second attempt with some patience... It was fun, Thanks! :thumbsup:

      | This is truly a mini-marathon for B. I wish I was B. That was an enjoyable play. I liked the great dive. I also noticed the beautiful color theme created by the water and concrete blocks that look like the shade of aquamarine. Great design.

      My B didn't get wet and needed a few attempts to get the last move but did it on the 1st go. Thanks
    • Black1226
      @gmacpro He didn't? Did you find a shortcut? Did B break his head?

      Thanks very much for the comments and rating, GMAC! I really appreciate it. Thanks for playing!
