      No TRICKS.
      BUT!!!
      To take an extra star you need a technique -
      "inertial fall from the stairs"!
      ATTENTION! Unfortunately mekorama sometimes gets stuck. Sometimes "free ladder" gets stuck in transport cubes (ladder adjuster). This is normal and it's not scary! You can KNOCK a little on the stairs - it will be released!!!!

      Nice & easy... as I do not understand the meaning of "inertia fall" I used a kind of autopilot :sneaky:... спасибо @Denis Nazin ;)

      @delator77 Пожалуйста)) :D
      Thank you very much my friend! ;):thumbsup:
      Yes, you are right - the gameplay for B is not big and easy. Because the main gameplay in this level is to "understand the mechanism, understand how it works and properly set up the ladder." This is the main idea. Since the mechanism sometimes jams so that the gameplay does not annoy the players - I made the gameplay not big.:rolleyes:;)
      About the "inertial fall from the stairs." I think you know this effect well and have seen it many times. I did not meet any names, so I came up with my own. The main thing is that the name conveys the essence. Here is a level that is completely built on this effect: http://mekoramaforum.com/media/funny-stairs.27119/.
      Sometimes "cancel tap" is used with this effect to make it work better in a small space. Sometimes this effect works absolutely automatically, the main thing is to take a "run-up" (move away a certain distance). And this effect works automatically! No tricks! Pure inertial. At this level, the effect works automatically (NO "cancel tap" trick!), you can watch the video walkthrough;) VS Time 1:00 - 1:08

      Wow! Only a genius could come up with such a puzzle! Once again you amaze us! :thumbsup: I just had a play for now, I did not finish it.

      My only issue is that it's easy to get the stair/motor stuck between cubes. Or even, if you're an idiot player like me, out of the water! :rotf:

      I had another go and pushed the stair too fast! Now it ended up on the top!

      Love the mechanism! I think you could have held the overall level simpler though. The extra star was more annoying, and the final bit with B didn't match the rest of the level really. Having to use the stairs in the different quadrants in different ways was nice. And the control mechanism was quick to learn.

      @Chris Hester My dear friend, thank you very much for playing and commenting!! I am very happy that you like my ideas!:D:D:thumbsup:
      To avoid problems with the stairs, push as weakly as possible !!! But strong enough to push the ladder. Be careful and everything will work out;)
    • Denis Nazin
      @Block builder Thank you very much!!! I am very pleased to receive feedback from such a famous builder like you:thumbsup:!! Thank you;). I am glad that you quickly mastered the mechanism and you liked it. :DThank you!

      As for the extra star. I wanted to tell you that it is very VERY easy to take. You need to take a big run and run back to the upper stairs. No tricks, no effort. B will fall by inertia from the stairs down - just on the star (right on the star). It's very simple and very stable. Watch the video (VS Time 1:00 - 1:08) on how to do it right. When you do the same - you will realize that it is very simple and stable.;)

      You absolutely correctly noticed that the last part of the level is in a different style. :thumbsup:;)You're right! This was not the case at first. The last green square contained a win block. But I decided there wasn't enough gameplay for B. So I added a little puzzle at the end in my favorite style. The fact that it turned out different styles - I'm even glad about it.:D I really love variety. I'm sorry if I didn't please you. The most important thing is that you like the main idea. Thank you very much!!!:D;):thumbsup:
    • Chris Hester
      I tried again and got as far as turning the first stair round so B could climb back up but no matter what I did he wouldn't go up the stairs. I think they slip down a touch meaning he can't 'see' the grass.

      Fun fact: you can lower B onto the cube and turn it round - B will stay on!

      Loved the transport system but like others disliked the top star capture.
