Eclectic

I was playing around with a few ideas, and they took over and formed a puzzle! It may not be pretty (pretty was not one of those ideas i was playing with), but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Good one, it took me a while to figure this out

Spoiler

but I have not used the second ball

@vince, @cpw - well done!

Spoiler

the second ball is a red herring, to misdirect attention from using one ball twice

@cpw - regarding your alternative solutions..

Spoiler

1. That's innovative! I never thought of that - are you able to get B to the win using this strategy?
2. The "perpendicular staircase".. Do you mean the horizontal one that runs along the far side of the" house"? I tried to defeat the autopilot there - so extra points if you managed to do it!

Thanks for the great feedback and stars, folks - it's very encouraging!

Really great level @trids, thanks!

Spoiler: Shortcut?

I didn't use the last ball and draggable. B arrived to the win using auto-pilot exploit.

Thanks @chemi, I think your shortcut is the intended solution...

Spoiler

The last ball is a red herring, and autopilot is the final trick to the win.

However, it does use the draggable in the elevator. So maybe your autopilot trick is not the same as what I have in mind? How does yours work without a draggable?

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Spoiler

I didn't explained correctly... for auto-pilot exploit I used both draggables (tap on horizontal one and lower the vertical one). What I tried to say is that I didn't used the ball and the horizontal draggable let's say in a logic way... and that was the reason of my question about a possible shortcut

@chemi - ah, i see what you mean now.

So yes - your shortcut is indeed the intended solution...!

I totally get what you mean by trying some stuff and ending up with a level.

The level is a nice puzzle. The block-for-block movement due to low ceiling is new to me, great!

Finally finished this level using the approved method(i think). Used the alternative method to cross the wedges first few times as i couldnt get the block by block movement to work despite strongly suspecting it was possible and designed to be so. Love levels that even when completed , make one return to explore alternatives. Liked he way the final exploit was used to lose height rather the usual gain.
