Riverside Town 2

Spoiler: Hint1

There is a ball in the tree.

Spoiler: Hint2

Push the ball onto the track and use it to block the machine.

I liked the more simple layout of this level. Always like levels with surprises. Suddenly realising the mechanism has moved again. Not sure i won as designed as although i pushed all the balls did not appear to use two balls that i pushed into the same hole. Especially now that i have read the hints and I don’t even understand hint 2 and cant see the item in hint1.
P.S. I should have said

Spoiler: What I didn’t do

never freed R

@ridgerunner

I don't think this looks simple at all - very complex with lots of moving parts and routes. It takes 5 restarts just to see a little of the game play.

@huijiuggbf - Not liking the hidden areas - do a need a ball there or not - as I can't see the bottom? I also see a ball going up stairs - that could be a problem too. The rattle rattle rattle needs to stop. Will continue for now - got a feeling it's a long one - I hope not.

Not as long as I thought it was going to be but I found a shortcut. I assume I found a shortcut as R wasn't needed and I didn't drop one of the balls. I dropped a star for the 3 balls that were hard to drop. The highest ball was the worst as B was too low and went back and forth lots. The next worst ball was the ball where B needed to be on the other ball - again, back and forth for too long. The ball behind the tree was also a pain. I got the other ball going up the stairs after only two - surprised. I know some players think Mekorama requires lots of tapping but come on, dropping a ball shouldn't take so much effort.

So was one ball and R red herrings?

I revisited the level as you said no tricks were required and I did a SBS x 2 for my shortcut. I feel stupid as I can't see the logic to win this level. The balls don't help with the thinking as they are a real pain to drop. Each time I go thru another thought process, another set of balls just will not fall.

Hidden ball - no wonder I couldn't see the logic.

Also faced some prob. with the balls but a nice level. And i liked ur creativity ✨

@ridgerunner Thanks for playing! The hidden ball in hint 1 is on the front tree. You can drag B to the second floor to push the ball. The ball can release R. You need to push one of the balls onto the machine and block the machine with the ball so that when you pull down the last draggable, the machine will not enter the wall (when R pushing the ball, B block the ball with head and move the ball to the track)
@Meko Guy Thanks for playing! I added deception to this level. (for example, R stands on a seemingly mobile machine. In fact, it can't move. You need to drop the hidden ball to release R). Through logical combing, you can find the deception one by one. I have made some changes before releasing this level, but the problem of pushing the ball is difficult to solve because there is not enough space. But I still reduced a lot of problems. I can't find the shortcut you said, because I don't know what SBS means. Can you explain what SBS means? Thank you.
@Anomynous Thanks for playing!

I'm tired of someone always yelling "no logic", seems like 1+1=2 is logic but 1+1=a & a+a=4 is definitely not logic...Below I will show the logic chain that I passed this level myself without any tips.

Spoiler: How I use logic

I used 4 times to pass this level.

The first time the balls was pushed normally, it was found that there were 2 balls left before reaching the end point, and R was not used.
So I derived the position of the hidden ball from the pit in front of R, and noticed that some balls could be pushed from the other direction.Isn't that very simple logic?

The second time I found that there was no need to fill the ball at the corner of the path to the end point. I guess R is used to delay push the ball.

The third time I did not find the timing of the delay, but determined the logical order of the balls and where R&B should be when the ball is pushed.

For the fourth time, I tried to push the ball in the order obtained by the third time, and found that the third door can be opened at the beginning -------pass this level.

For me, this kind of level that needs to be summed up and found in failure to be good logic.
@huijiuggbf SBS means a trick that jump by stair------It's obvious no needed in this level.

@935 Thank you for explaining what SBS means and providing a very clear logical list! Thanks for playing! @Meko Guy I see. The shortcut you said is on the ball on the right. Maybe it needs some changes.

Excellent puzzle after I had read hint 1. Pushing that (hidden) ball is essential. On my first renewed attempt, R pushed the ball with too much force and the ball missed the hole. On the second attempt, everything worked out well.

@GFJ Thanks for playing!

@huijiuggbf ..”some changes”. No point making changes. The level works well as a level without R and some tricks , and also as the full logic level as designed; that i also liked.

Perfect logic lv. Have to think what is first and what next. But next time you shouldn't hide the ball or you can make a clue outside like a red brick or anything else because this is a logic lv, not a finding mysterious lv. I'm waiting for more logic lv from you.

@huijiuggbf - SBS - is Springboard stairs. With B on the stairs, tap behind B and then in front of B. B can get the 2nd highest ball with the one gone below using that move.
