      Partly inspired by the opening move in the level "The Iron Mask" by @Helena (dropping Z down).
      Hercules push
      "Misirlou" is a song that originated sometime in the 1920's in the Ottoman Empire (the exact origin and writer are unknown). The version that became widely known in the West is the surf rock version that was done in 1962 by Dick Dale and the Del-Tones, from his album "Surfer's Choice", and the reason that Dale did it is that a young fan bet him that he couldn't play a song on just one string of his guitar... obviously Dale won.
      The song regained popularity in 1994, when Quentin Tarantino used it as the opening for his movie "Pulp Fiction".

      You (and @Helena apparently) really had me going there for a while. :sneaky: I liked the way that ...
      B had some tasks to perform while waiting for PillR to arrive. And I had to read your comment to figure out that ZapR had some role to play other than stepping stone. Made the very elegant final solution all the more satifsfying. :thumbsup:

      your level getting harder and harder

      really hard to figure out
      how B able to help redirect P
      to push a ball to open access
      to last path to finish.

      @D.S.Masters
      while im still stuck
      did searching about the song

      i often heard misirlou in various games
      especially an old game
      like "hotwheels" and "crash team racing"
      in playstation one.

      but i never knew it was originally
      from ottoman empire era.

      very interesting discovery
      mr. scott.

      finally i could solve this.
      that ball i mentioned before
      must be pushed by Z, not P.

      and pushing a big object to release Z
      can be done also with dragable beside it.
      but it happen slower than being pushed by B.
    • D.S.Masters
      @Don G Rowe I never did fihure out @Helena 's level, but the Z move is similar, I think.

      Now i know how Z got that head. Solving levels like this one. I, as well, felt arcing between my puny neurons, through quite a few restarts...
      But sooo enjoyable, thank you!
    • mossieurclo
      Fitting new avatar, Mister Masters, if i may say so myself :)
      I shall try to put a Zapper plate on my head, t'would be quite fitting as well ...
    • D.S.Masters
      @mossieurclo Way back when, I posted my level "Black Sails"... @Don G Rowe graciously made a pirate avatar for me. Time to retire the pirate and use something a little more fitting (though I'm tempted to give B a multi-colored mohawk).

      I nearly missed this one, downloaded it, didn't have time to play and promptly forgot it, :eek::(. Just browsing through and spotted it, :D:D!!

      Really nice one too! I enjoy this kind of level where you work out a bit of it then realise, I should do something else first, so restart. Work out a bit more and so on until it all comes together, ;):thumbsup::D.
