Jewel of Atlantis

My other levels seem to have exploitable flaws. I’m interested to see what y’all find on this one. ;D

I started but it wasn't intuitive to which direction do I want to go... It was extremely busy and coupled with the water, one could easily miss the intended route and be at the level for days.

Wow, what a gorgeous design. The gameplay is not the best, in that it's hidden and you have to change camera angle all the time. But frankly, I don't care, because I was very motivated to explore this wonderful looking level. It must have taken you ages to make!

I think this level could be exploited with some autopilot falling, boogie bot, etc. But to me it was clear that wasn't intended. And I had no desire to.

Btw, this is a cpu-heavy level. I had low framerate, but it was ok. It won't work on some devices.

Yep I’m sorry it’s a bit hard to tell where to go, but confused exploration was part of my concept; it really fits the In-B-Ana Jones theme.

Plus I figured folks who are better at piloting B than I am would try poking into random corners that are not my intended route anyway, so I just let you at it.

I wanted an ambitious build that’s mostly moving objects, and I designed each quadrant if the city on a separate card so I could see what I was doing, then copied the section row by row to this card.

It did not occur to me this level might bog down some devices. It works on my phone, which is kind of old. Thanks for that info.

I’m quite honored Block Builder rates this 5 stars. Your Daltons series is gorgeous, hilarious, and brilliant (and I have not managed to solve any of them ).

Spoiler: Clue to the path

Use the first building to access both the balls, and bump them to complete the parts of the path you will walk on later.

Also,

Spoiler: Rear ball

You have to ride the roof of the first building down all the way, and move all the ruined pillars in the right sequence to access the ball that’s at the back of the level. You won’t actually walk on that ball until you go back round through the other three quadrants, and come up the stairs from the bottom of the biggest building.

Hi. InBiana Jones managed to shoot the two balls and is now on the vertical platforms, the outer ring at least. Stuck there. I can backtrack the path from the win up to a certain point but not quite up to where B is currently stuck. Maybe a video clue?
P.S. all these blue water is making me upset. Lol

@mothproof If the corner nearest the camera when you open Mekorama is South East (so the tall hill with the ring and platforms is in the NW), then:

Spoiler: First bit of the ring

you come to the “elevator rings” from the east. You’ll be on the dirt hill, in deep shadow. Go down the steps you can barely see, adjust the height of the ring, and step into the window of the east wall of the ring. THEN move the east inner platform down and step onto it. Then lift that platform up a bit and look for somewhere to go...

Then...

Spoiler: 2nd part of ring

you can step onto the edge of the TOP of the south inner platform. Then lift up the outer ring to the same level, and walk over to the middle of the top of the south inner platform. K? Now move the ring up more, and step into the window in its south wall. Ride that all the way down, and walk out of the ring, up the steps, toward the western ball, that you earlier moved (which now completes your path). But oops something is still blocking your path to get to it.

And...

Spoiler: Get up the hill

you have to mess with some of the sunken columns in the SW again, to clear your path to go up the hill and over the ball and up to the ring again. Use it to climb to the top of the west side of the ring.

So

Spoiler: then end...

ride the west inner platform down, into the west window in the ring, pull down the west wall of the hill, walk in the hole to the NW corner, slide over, pull down the north wall of the hill, and I’m sure the last step of the path is unmistakable.

@Michael M Dillon Thanks for the tip. I'm gonna try them now. Even pencilled in the layout of the sw , nw coordinates on a piece of paper cos I got confused which is which for a while.
