      Very nice level. Minimalist design and innovative mechanics.

      Wop! Not easy one. It took me some time to figure out how to solve it. Thanks!

      I am more of a critical evaluator, so please do not be offended. I enjoyed this level as it was good practice of the "Tip Traverse" exploit.
      Taken from the Advanced Level Design document:
      “Tip Traverse”
      If B finds himself on a draggable that can rotate about a single point (i.e. a motor) in a vertical plane, then it is possible to rotate the draggable and have B transition from one side to another - if it is done very slowly and if B has nowhere to step down to. If the designer would like to encourage this path, then it is recommended that he/she use rounded blocks such as the metal pillar or metal half pillar as tips to traverse. Otherwise, a word of caution that this exploit could be used as a shortcut (if not intended as a valid path).
      What I found interesting was that the win block was only able to be triggered from one side. I replayed the level just to be sure. I haven't seen that effect before.

      Altogether, a simple level with simple clean graphics. A great first submission! Thanks for sharing!

      Hi @nGord. I don't feel offended by criticism, on the contrary, I always appreciate it as a way to improve, and also appreciate the time it takes to write it. Have to say I hadn't read the Tip Traverse exploit, I just found this trick by chance when playing another level and found it interesting. The win block being only active on one side was a surprise me to as well! I guess it only happens when at play time the block is backwards from the initial position (it has rotated).
