Here's an easy level that will require a little logic and no tricks required.

      Nice maze puzzle. You do need to "game" B's momentum in some spots. Is that considered a trick? I'm asking because I honestly don't know.

      @Don G Rowe - Thanks for rating the level. I think I'm newer than you on this forum so I'm not sure if that is classified a trick. If a newbie can click on a spot and B goes there, I wouldn't consider that a trick.
      When you refer to momentum are you referring to the covered spots or not covered?

      I'll rate it as a good level as well. I feel like there was a lot of distracting parts, but I guess that is the point of a maze. I noticed that each dead end was constructed using the same exploit, yet the solution required knowing that there is an antidote to the exploit as well. That might be a bit hard for some.
      @Anti found and documented here that B cannot continue past an inset stair block. Then @retrograde found that using the Low Ceiling effect nulled the problem and used it in a level here.http://mekoramaforum.com/media/wizards-spire-v1-2.2686/ If the Low Ceiling (AKA Claustrophobia) effect is new to some as well, I talk about it in the Introduction to Mekorama document attached here.

      Concerning @Don G Rowe's observation, he may be referring to overcoming the "Trapdoor."
      Here is an excerpt:
      “Trapdoor”

      If an opening just able to fit B (i.e. a doorway of only 2 blocks height) is followed by a stair block going up, then B will have trouble going through the doorway in that direction. He will have no problem descending the stairs and going through the doorway afterwards. But the low ceiling and the need to go up will be in conflict most of the time and B’s head will be caught by the top of the doorway. A player can overcome this bug by sending B back through the door (away from the stairs) and fairly quickly stopping him or sending him back up the stairs. This procedure allows B to straighten up at the foot of the stairs and thus no longer have his head caught by the door. First seen in Trapdoor?, @Aleric, 29 July 2016.

      @nGord Thanks for the explanation especially for @Don G Rowe's observation and I was able to replicate the activity. I wasn't sure if there was a way around this activity as it was intended so I ended the route with the inset stair. I didn't know it had a name until now and I'm glad that there wasn't a way thru the inset stairs otherwise my maze would have been pretty lame. Thanks again and also thanks for rating.

      It is a little like a labyrinth and as the title that you say:no trick required!
      It was very enjoyable;):rolleyes:

      Nice maze, that inset stair had me fooled I couldn't work out how to get past it, I did it in the end. But it had me looking all over for a secret route, your b only levels always make me come back to keep trying until its done, lots to do on them.except for this one, there are no tricks. But you trick the mind. Excellent work .:thumbsup:

      @shaun Roberts - Wow - this is an oldie - thanks for playing, commenting and rating.

      PS. Back then, I wasn't sure if players could get past inset stairs or not. I knew that I couldn't but I didn't know all the tricks yet.
