      Hard to see the route and when a ball misses over and over it's even harder as you figure you are doing it wrong. The R ball landed a few times and after that it didn't land by the lift anymore. The slider on the back side to release R caused B to land on the rail a few times too. The shoulder rubbing at the vertical stone pillars and dual lift was very annoying. Easily took 20 attempts.

      Thanks for the trick list as I used it - not that helpful but the hidden comment did.

      I also won with a Boogie Bot when the ball kept missing. A BB works well where the R ball goes down (half pillar), as the stairs lead to the win.

      I see you uped a video now. The shoulder rubbing was avoided by going up - never thought of that. Very complex level.

      @Meko Guy I never had any balls miss their target personally but I do recollect that different platforms have different physics behaviors. Well, really these problems were all not anything I experienced. So I am terribly sorry. But yeah, it is a complex level. I have had a tendency to not know when a good time to stop is.
      I dont want my levels to be too easy but I know that if they're too complicated then people wouldn't have the patience to play them. It's a tricky balance.

      I dont know where you did the boogie bot to get to the finish but I dont like that move usually. Especially in such a big level.

      Oh nevermind. I see the spot not. Gah

      @Meko Guy if I were to replace the half pillar with a ramp, would BB be moot?
    • Meko Guy
      @Makl - I did the BB in the area of the metal half pillar and where the 2nd ball rests. I agree that BB should never be in any level on purpose. I only used it as the ball missed again and I was frustrated. I just tried again and the ball was fine so maybe I forgot to lift the lift to hold it...

      I agree about the balance - too hard too easy....

      @Meko Guy oh that! Haha my goodness, I MADE this level and the number of times I forgot to move that lift was MADDENING

      Very complex tricky level, actually my solution was very different after watched the video.

      My win was similar to video with lots of small differences. I liked working out the gameplay and the clever method to get the stack although my R followed a different path immediately after.

      @PCR I'm curious about what you did differently! Thanks for comment and rate.

      @ridgerunner thanks for the strong praise. I tried to leave open a lot of room for player possibilities here. Glad you had fun.

      That stack...eh, it could go either way. I had it set up to do so.
