      The end uses an unintuitive exploit that I used to keep the buoy pretty.
      Mekorama has some weird behavior above the 16th grid (in this level above the water). At the buoy, frequently tap where you want to go, regardless of block types and height differences. The white tap circle should appear within a couple of seconds.

      The insides of the submarine are a bit hidden (design and looks prevailed). There's nothing sneakingly hidden, but if you require a hint:
      There are 3 balls that you have to push, 1 clearly visible and 2 in the dark back.

      That octopus or whatever it is in the upper right is cute.

      Wow!!! Amazing level!!! The visual design is great, the game play and designed path incredible. I had an interesting phase discovering the internals of the submarine and then the ocean was full of traps, you got me in all of them. :D
      I really enjoyed it, thanks!

      The atmosphere is well rendered. Costeau was a great explorator and this level with the octopus and (kind of) fishes passing by are a nice tribute. About the gameplay, I really liked how it was needed to anticipated the next move in order to play the actual one. The end is surprising as I really thought I was stuck or needed to fly in some way but it was much simpler than I thought. Thanks BB!
      Maybe a savage shortcut but when falling into the submarine I thought that I needed to use the upper slider to "push" B to the double stair with the ball. Later I asked myself what was the right sliding motor for... :rolleyes:

      @Gepeto That shortcut is so difficult and tedious, I think it costs much more time.

      "(kind of) fishes" :rotf:

      @Gepeto About the gameplay, when I finished the submarine and continued with the ocean floor, I said to myself "now that the player is finally out of the sub, I should provide a user friendly and recoverable (mostly) 1-go gameplay". I added some things, didn't like them, removed them, made some other stuff, kept what I liked, etc. It seems the opposite has resulted. :oops: I'm glad you like it, and I like it too. :D But I fear some players might find it lengthy and frustrating. (Luckily it's not an R puzzle, so replaying shouldn't take too long)

      Nice n simple gameplay in an exploration based adventure level :rolleyes:

      I needed to restart many times as the hiddeness from the shadows and the water made things hard to see. As for that back ball, I wouldn't have found it without the movie. You had lots of "You better look ahead before you make that move" or you get to restart, again sometimes difficult with the water. On a positive note, the level looked as intended and was nicely designed.
    • Block builder
      @gmacpro Too bad you got on the frustrated side. I did leave a hint for the submarine and supply some hints in the level (it's visible 3 balls are required, the pillar containing the upper back ball is well visible, some brick blocks), but I know that it doesn't suit the 'just go' kind of gameplay which I also often try first myself. Same holds for 2 or 3 traps on the sea floor.

      Perhaps replay it once more tomorrow and just enjoy the view as you know what to do. :rolleyes:

      The level brought me pleasant memories of the documentaries of Jacques Cousteau that I saw when I was young. The setting is exciting and the gameplay is fun, thanks to the video. I'm astonished with the end.

      Great sub design. Nice sea creatures. Fun adventure which is interesting enough to retry the bottom part of the ocean. The end is a bit confusing but I figure it myself eventually
