Guitar Master

Just my usual... and it looks more complex than it actually is. (no tricks needed)

Guitar Master

      I usually don't upload this late at night (it's 10 pm here), but I felt like I had to with this one. The level was 99% completed anyway, just needing a little decorating, and it originally had another title, but I renamed it when I heard the news... guitar great Eddie van Halen died today of throat cancer. One of the great guitar innovators, he taught the world things like finger tapping and fretboard work, and Van Halen's 1978 self-titled debut hit #19 on the Billboard charts. EvH was 65.

      Note: a big "sorry about that" to @cimarronline - after you posted your comment, I realized that I needed to change a couple of blocks. Feel free to post up the image and video again.

      EDIT: see the comments further below for a slightly updated version which blocks a P win.

      Excellent homage to the great Eddie:(! His finger tapping with the guitar was similar to my finger tapping in Mekorama,absolutely amazing:rotf: Yep,the level looks harder than it is but still a FUN clean logic one with your classic artistic design....Thanks for sharing @D.S.Masters ;)
    • D.S.Masters
      @delator77 I almost painted myself into a corner with this one... I had it 90% finished when I realized that I had no idea where B was going to start from - easy to fix, though.

      At first open the lv, I worry when I see a lot of bots in here, I think it require a complex lv. But luckily that each bot have a different job to do and I can handle it.

      Liked the use of 2 balls and the lift to create a path B can go but can't comeback.

      My first win is a short win as I didn't use R, I win with P, I think you can see that way. Then I choose the full gameplay for my second win. Thanks for sharing.
    • D.S.Masters
      @Sun Eagle Yes, you actually can win with one of the P bots, but it's not easy to herd him through some of the low ceiling parts. Plus the fact that P isn't as stable when crossing the two balls as R is... but a win is a win.
    • Sun Eagle
      @D.S.Masters No, P didn't walk on that 2 balls. My win with P is more shorter and easier. I'll send you a video tomorrow.
    • D.S.Masters
      @Sun Eagle Oh, okay... back down that lift and redirect P to the win. Interesting way.
    • D.S.Masters
      @Sun Eagle I think this card stops your P win version... just a zapper in the right place and B can't direct P back to the lift.

      Lovely, fun, thank you, :D:D:D!

      I didn't need P walking across the upper walkway past the zapper! Still it was plenty of fun, maybe there are different ways to win?
    • D.S.Masters
      @Jom Let me guess - you backtracked B down the lift and got to R that way... yeah, it seems like multiple ways to win in this.
      Sun Eagle and Jom like this.
    • Jom
      @D.S.Masters Yes, I didn't see another way to do it. I will go back in and look again, ;):D. I like multiple solutions, :thumbsup::thumbsup:.
    • D.S.Masters
      An example of people picking up on Eddie van Halen's finger tapping... this is the Japanese metal group Show-Ya and their song "Watashi wa Arashi" (Miki Igarashi on guitar)
    • Sun Eagle
      @D.S.Masters Yes, that card require a full gameplay for all bots. A multiple win with this lv as you said. Great.
    • D.S.Masters
      @Sun Eagle If I put a zapper at the top of that one lift, it would probably prevent the various alternate routes... but what the heck, people are having fun with it, which is the purpose.
