The Hidden Gem

7minutes .

I wonder if this is the designed solution. If it is then there is a problem. I have played about ten times and each time the result has been slightly different in timing. Twice zapperL has been half a block quicker and gone through the gap( at the end of the video) then 2/3 of an anticlockwise circuit to almost block R onto the star. Minute variation in ball position and the shoulder rubbing seem to be the problem. I should have said that my fist win is a shortcut capturing of all three stars. In this video i have ignored L.

Spoiler: Possible gameplay for central two stars

For the good fellows out there, please read the updated description of the level. Thanks for trying. I will definitely be around here to interact.

@ridgerunner I think that first win for you with the 'shortcut' is the solution I have devised. But let's not discuss it right now and let others try to find it out first.

I immediately found the main secret of the level. I hope everyone found:

. After that, most things on the level lose all meaning. I think a lot of this level is just a distraction and doesn't make sense.

Welcome to the forum. And thanks for your first level

@cimarronline ..yes that was it.

@Denis Nazin ..i never saw it, but have now found it. That confuses things even more. So here is my original quick solution.

@ridgerunner Very good solution.
But this is the first level of the author. It seems to me that the author not used autopilot in the gameplay.
My start is the same as yours. I think this is the intention of the author. I think the correct gameplay from the author:

Get FD and send RP to victory with help FD.

@ridgerunner that's awesome! Let me be brutally honest. I didn't know this solution was possible. The one I have is a different run, which is the original solution from me. Looks like some people around here must have found it, but for now, I am just putting the hint here. Will upload video tomorrow.

HINT : The floating blocks are not there for showcase.

@Denis Nazin I'm sorry friend. Since I'm new here, there are some terms I'm unfamiliar with. Like, what is FD? What is autopilot? Thanks.

@Saul Goodman FD:

FD - free draggable

Autopilot is hard to explain, you need to watch the video. In the second video from @ridgerunner 38-43 seconds is autopilot. It is better to say one of the examples of autopilot. Because the autopilot has a LOT of varieties.

Thanks everyone for trying the level.
