      Almost no gameplay but dramatic looks. The blocks of brick look weird at certain angles. The inside looks like a diagram of molecular structure.

      I'm glad B didn't have to venture onto the spinning object. Pretty straight forward route.

      @ridgerunner Hey RR - I worked for the NC biotech center for 15 years... before that Rhone-Poulenc (formerly Union Carbide Ag Products, you might remember the gas leak in Bhopal, that was us)..Molecules used to be a big part of my life. Thanks for running through this - any suggestions for improvement? I get stuck a lot on one method.....

      @gmacpro I tried to get him on it, but it just didn't work. This one began with the center treelike structure, and I took it from the. Kinda putting the cart before the horse....I expect most ideas should begin with the path, mine seem to come with the path last. Could be why they're so easy. Working on it! Thanks for the nice rating...it's encouraging....

      I too am glad that he did not have to step onto the spinning object. I'm quite certain that would have been more than I am capable of handling. After that it was a pretty straightforward path as the others have said. I just don't waste need to be careful stepping on those cylinders. It doesn't always turn out well for me, or B, for that matter.

      | Made my day :) I was smiling (from ear to ear actually) just by staring at the movement of the structures, it's elegant and pleasing. I agree with @ridgerunner's description that it resembles a model of a molecular structure, plus the motion; amazing. I can see your effort and I can say that you have truly enjoyed the process of making your level. The gameplay was, in fact, brief but concentrated with enjoyable components and details. Very well done.

      @laurence.gr This was about my third posted level, and I truly loved putting it together! I was still awed that I had the tools to create something that would actually function, while being whatever I liked using the tools at hand. I was much more interested in the creative process than anything else. I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did!

      Thanks very much for the 5 rating, I'm sure it's mostly die to the presentation than the gameplay! I hope you have a good day, Laurence, and life treats you well!

      @Lianne Malone Liken I told GMAC, I did try to make him get on the "tree" without killing himself. Not to be. If memory servers, the path was meant to be through the "branches," showing my obvious lack of knowledge about B and his abilities. Ha! It makes me smile to think about it. Thanks for the 4, I truly appreciate it.

      Ciao!

      @Black1226 | It was nothing. :) I'm the one who should say thank you. Now I see why your levels are special. Your designs, their details, and the feeling that you're trying to provoke create a connection to individuals, which for me is very necessary. Your designs are humanistic rather than very rational.

      I also give high value to the creative process as I could just enjoy putting the pieces together; having as much fun as possible; giving us the opportunity to express ourselves better. Thanks!
    • Black1226
      @laurence.gr I don't know what to say! You are a very perceptive young man, and I feel a certain connection to you, it's like you know me pretty well. I do really value and enjoy the creative process! I don't know what you do for a living, but a psychologist would he my first guess. Psychology also fascinates me and has since high school. I have a college textbook that I bought years ago entitled Abnormal Psychology and Maladaptive Behaviors. I still read sections of it now and then. It's just fascinating!

      I'm gonna dedicate my next level to you my friend -'and it'll be the best ever!

      Fond regards,
      Amym

      I'm gonna have to learn to use the spoiler - I can't even find the option! Seems like I saw it, but I've forgotten where. That's a terrific career path for a creative individual. I managed to turn my job (I had 2 lengthy jobs, both ~15 years, that I managed to shape into what I really wanted to do, even I wasn't aware of it.)

      I guess that music is also part of the creative process, even though you aren't composing it, playing the piano (those beautiful, almost forgotten classics of Chopin, Mozart, Beethoven, even though I'm not a real Beethoven fan) could be considered a creative outlet? I have one, but itvcwas relegated to the back porch, for what reason I can't (surprise) remember. My husband said he'd bring it back in, but after so many years on the porch it probably has nests of spiders and critters in it. Critters I can deal with, but spiders I HATE. It's still pretty much in tune, I play it once in a while, but am out of practice. I dunno, I'm rambling again.

      Thanks for sharing with me, and maybe you can tell me how to close my comments by using the spoiler option.

      Regards!

      @Black1226 | That's good to know. It's never too late to pursue what you wanted to do.

      That's true. Writing music involves this process, as well as with improvisation, but I'm not sure about playing. Maybe it's time to refurbish your piano. Mine wasn't that good but it still looks decent.

      Hope this helps.
