      Great challenging level! Inspired partially by a recent level. ;)
      Ball at the rotor is a red herring?

      @Block builder - Your Spoiler took me off guard for a minute as there wasn't a motor but yes there was - I forgot about it. I made the level about three weeks ago and 'The Alley' was made after but I figured this one was harder so I waited. That ball is to roll away so yes. Thanks for the comments and rating. :)

      Ok then you didn't copy the 'pillar slide' trick from Abu-Simbel. It was intended to have B on the higher draggable, and then to quickly slide the lower one under him?
      Btw, though this is a complex puzzle, I thought the individuel steps were intuitive if you understand and know the tricks, and reason from the win back.

      @Block builder -
      I did play 'Abu-Simbel' but I couldn't get inside - I even read all author's Hints but my B was no Hercules so no I didn't use that level's ideas.
      This level had a few whoops moves like your recent level 'Kraken Tower', meaning if you didn't see it coming, you know for next time.

      Failed to win here. Thought i was being clever dancing B across the sunken zapper and getting R onto winblock level but failed to realise significance of the ball in its final position. Its possible to get win without TOA trick , B can sometimes outpace R.

      @ridgerunner - I'm happy you commented even though you didn't win. I agree with the out pace comment as that was my first intention but due to consistency I went with the ToA. How does B dance across sunken zappers? Thanks for the comments and rating.

      @gmacpro ... i put B beside zapper then tap zapper immediately followed by tapping adjacent free block

      Works like a charm. I'm glad that wasn't the only defense.

  • Trip on Air (ToA):
    -Tap an end block (two or more away from B)
    -Tap the same block just before B steps on it
    -B may fall off

    Auto Pilot:
    -Tap a location where you what B to end up
    -Move a draggable to change the route

    -Get B back onto the ball 1st
    -Move off the ball so B is the same level as R

    Elevated Eye:
    -An elevated eye will change the properties of the block above (ie: pass or not)
