The Pools

Very good little level. I like it. I enjoyed the design. The level is simple but very enjoyable. Thanks

This is probably my favorite level of yours I've played. I didn't need the section with the P bot though, and didn't need to drop one ball.

I did use SSS, and saw your intended win. But...you didn't specify no tricks so I used a trick

...
BEST LEVEL SO FAR
from you...
I give 5☆ for extra effort
concepting neat level.
I played this level intendedly, the routes are fun,
classic gameplay.
kids will be struggled abit, but they will do fine.

Spoiler: about shortcut

btw,
about shortcut mentioned by @Makl ,
you can prevent
Sideway Spring Board Stair (Sideway SBS or SSS)
by adding opposite direction stair
below stair which is to be used for SSS trick.

Spoiler: How to perform SSS trick in here

@Ray Aznable Thanks for supporting the author. This level is really neat and enjoyable.

Spoiler: about "shortcut"

Regarding SSS - you are right that you can eliminate it in your own way. This is a good way.
But! That is unnecessary. This is a logic level with no tricks - so SSS is not a shortcut. This is a violation of the rules of the game!))) You wrote about this on my level "Keyhole". You wrote about levels without tricks. You wrote that tricks are not a shortcut. I ABSOLUTELY agree with you!!! @MakI just broke the rules (this author usually doesn't have levels with tricks). Therefore, I think that it is not worth spoiling a clean beautiful elegant design (an additional staircase will spoil the design, in my opinion). Although your way of blocking SSS is very cool.

P.S. By the way, I recently played @Makl's level (a level without tricks). He also has a way to get his level shorter with a trick (Even professionals can't foresee everything). Therefore, getting rid of all possible tricks at the logical level is almost impossible! You just need to follow the rules

@Makl I don't mind if someone uses a trick - that's what Mekorama is all about, playing the game as you wish and finding new ways to win. I learn about these shortcuts only after posting a level! But I don't like to add tricks in the intended gameplay, except for autopilot and low ceiling, which are easy for me to do.

Sometimes Ball doesn't hit the Star in the pool. And machine felt stucky.

Over all easy but neat.
Very playful.

Good work!
