Heavy Backpack

Have you ever seen a backpack with the weight of a whale on a polka dot trail? B has a broken chimney. He has to travel to it with all his tools. He puts the tools in a backpack and starts his way up to his chimney.

      This time I wanted to do something different. I'm known for my skill levels, so I've tried something new with that.
      This is a tap puzzle. By making the right taps (place and timing) the level is beatable. It's up to you to figure out what combinations are possible.

      Please don't get put off by the B design.
      I've put a lot of effort to make this level as enjoyable as possible.
      If done correctly, the movement and level is completely stable. I've completed this level over 20 times, by doing the same moves to win.

      Here are a few tips:

      - Because I'm not a complete masochist, I've created safe places and also a way to 'save' your progress. Just be carefull with the balls, some will only go in a specific way.

      - The backpack is heavy, so a few steps at a time is the best option. You don't want to waste any energy.
      - Try to wait until B is stable/stands still untill you make another step. Rest.
      - If you have to run for your life, you can do more steps. On a straight line it is safe to walk fast. Also the safety places are reachable if you run, but beware of momentum. You might need an extra step.
      - You carry heavy tools in your backpack. Iron conducts.
      - The stairs are your enemy here (you try to walk upstairs with a heavy backpack.)
      If you sprint them, you'll stand a chance. Fail?, Go back down and try again.
      - The level has a few alternate routes and shortcuts.
      - Aside from being able to make a Ween reference, the dotted path also has a purpose.

      I really hope you can enjoy this level.

      I'm not going to rate this because, to me, it's more like a demo. While the instability can let B cross over gaps in a unique way, I didn't think it was stable enough. B got stuck in a hole about 60% of the tries. Getting B "pushed forward" to use stairs that would otherwise be blocked was more consistent, but is limited because it's only reliably repeatable when going down.
      In the end, this felt like a very creative experiment, and one that had a mix of good and not-so-good results.
