Pagan Ritual

Fairly difficult/intricate. These R-cane priests are summoning the gods with a ceremonial dance. It is a liturgical ritual to approach the totem of each deity for enlightenment about the path the chosen one must follow. When the totem gods reveal the path, the chosen one may enter the temple.

      What an incredible, intricate solution. At first there are so many solutions, you don't know where to start. After trying a few things it turns out not too bad. But it doesn't excuse you from further thought, with some nice bot and ball interaction along the way. I especially like the
      Z's under the curved rails
      and how that's concealed in plain sight.

      A really good level with some nice visual design. Solving it was a big achievement for me. Thanks!
    • Darren Schrag
      Thank you both!:) I’m glad you were not overwhelmed with despair at the sheer number of options you start with. ;)

      A big WOW for this level! I've read the story and very liked it. Great visual design and you've made this level very well with using 4 R, or could i say 4 Magic R? :D

      Totally agree with others: a fantastic level. I saw most of the gameplay quite quickly, but slowed myself up by using the wrong approach for moving the high budgeable that only had 25% success rate of falling correctly-that obvious option was extremely devious. Despite the complexity it was a very forgiving level with no dead ends for R.

      @ridgerunner
      :) Not sure what “budgeable” you are referring to with only a 25% success rate but I’m glad it didn’t ruin the experience for you.

      If you mean the upper “left” free motor pillar, I have had only consistent success with the fall. Perhaps If you tried to aproach it a different way it caused a different result. I’ve learned that everyone’s experience with free motors is different.

      Thanks for playing and rating!
    • Darren Schrag
      Perhaps that’s what you were saying. That your aproach had a 25% success rate. Sorry if I misunderstood.
    • Darren Schrag
      Ah yes. I just used an aproach I hadn’t used yet and it landed upright. Interesting. Though I think the intended aproach is less difficult to set up.

      @Darren Schrag “approach route” i used two bots so one was forced to turn right along the three stone blocks straight to upper left free motor pillar. Fell every which way!
    • Darren Schrag
      @ridgerunner
      Yes that’s what I tried. The results are not usually good. Good feedback. Thanks.

  • As in any liturgical process, different sequences may be possible but the general order is still important.
    You will want to use the zapRs at two locations each (4 total) to help the R bots walk on rails. In one area they will be used in this way simultaneously as a team effort.

    The level can be played more quickly than in this video. I tried to make sure every step could be watched through before moving on to the next so the video would not be confusing.
