Modern Love is..

Modern love is... well, I don't really know how to define it, but B certainly loves hitting the big red button. (tricks in the comments)

      Thanks to @nGord for the new trick (well, it's new to me).
      (in order) Hercules Push, autopilot, autopilot drop, low ceiling jump
      I'm calling it 'low ceiling jump' because I don't know what else to call it, and I've never seen it before; it's a combination of autopilot and low ceiling. How to: near the end, do the autopilot, go up the lift and hit the ball, then the autopilot drop. Raise the lift so that there are exactly 2 spaces below it (low ceiling / claustrophobia territory). Tap that space under the lift and yank it down - autopilot means that B will get on the lift, but since it was at low ceiling height, B will try to get past it and into an area without a low ceiling, so he uses the lift as a launch pad to jump the gap.

      "Modern Love is Automatic" is a song from the British new wave group A Flock of Seagulls from their 1982 self-titled debut... it's a little quiet for my tastes, but it's nice enough (my favorite new wave groups are The Cars and Blondie). Founder Mike Score was a hairdresser - you should be able to spot him in the publicity photo below:

      From left to right: Alister 'Ali' Score (drums), Paul Reynolds (guitar), Mike Score (keyboards & vocals), Frank Maudsley (bass). From what I saw online, the Score brothers didn't really get along, which is why the group didn't do much.

      I liked the ending!

      You don't have to use the low ceiling. Just raise the slider and tap the green block just past it, then lower the slider. B will trip over the slider and jump just like you describe.

      Super straightforward and easy level, but I think it deserves top marks for meeting its objective of illustrating a few Autopilot-based tricks. I also enjoyed the weaving paths and the good use of wedges to guide the balls. Loved the New Wave reference, but I Ran (So Far Away) is clearly A Flock of Seagulls' best song. :rolleyes:
      There are two places though that can be circumvented:
      1. The ball in the bottom corner (that likely is intended for Z to drop) can be dropped by B walking past it; and
      2. As @cimarronline mentions, the last trick doesn't actually need a Low Ceiling as there is a block beyond the draggable that can be tapped for the Autopilot Trip. [just made up that name]

      Very enjoyable, as always, :D:thumbsup::D! I did the last move like @cimarronline. Now having read the description in the spoiler, I think I will go back and try that way.

      @nGord Easy enough to fix Z, as you can see, but the other... that seems to work either way, so who knows?

      Good and enjoyable level. My B did not push the first two balls and left Z where he is. B took the final step with what @nGord called the “autopilot trip”.
    • D.S.Masters
      @GFJ Yeah, I fixed that bit with Z in the card above.
    • D.S.Masters
      @Ray Aznable Thank you. And yes, I like music, as you can tell. ;)
      May I ask what your avatar is from? I don't recognize it... it's cute though, and it looks a little dangerous.
