Where's the grass?

Not a desert level, there should be grass. But what happened?

Where's the grass?

      Nice Elephant!
    • nGord
      You should have called it Hunting Safari Hunters. I had trouble landing on that win block for sure. Awesome elephant and I like the tail action. :D
    • meko
      He looks like an elephant designed by Salvador Dalì:D[​IMG] and coincidentally also the elephant in the painting is in the desert:rolleyes:

      @nGord Haha, nice word play.

      @meko The long legs were a necessity here. :D

      I'm sure the obvious one is much more difficult. Lucky fall?

      It's controllable. Just use climbing + tip traverse tricks.

      Nice design. Thanks!

      @nGord has informed me about yet another trick I did not know, and that can be used as a controllable shortcut. Oh well, something exiting for the "pro's" as well. :)

      @Block builder - I merely sent you an explanation of the controllable shortcut that @richardfu_ pointed out and should get the credit for.

      P.S. I'm awarding 4 stars as well in regards to my earlier comment and based on there being a total of three ways to complete the level (that I've successfully completed now too). Bonus fun!
    • D Wolf
      Nice level. Solved two ways... @nGord do two of your three solutions involve the R-bot?
    • nGord
      @D Wolf - yes.
      Is to the hidden win block.
    • Block builder
      Oh I'm happy with the 4 stars guys, considering the time I spent on this relative to some other levels. Not that you probably should spent much more on levels this size. I did intend for only one solution, so yes there is room for improvement. On the other hand, indeed some fun playing for multiple solutions also has merit. And for more novice players, my inteded gameplay should hold.

      Did anyone get the title in relation to the hidden win? It's a bit cryptic maybe.

      There are three ways to solve this level:

      1. Stand B on the metal block on the back of the elephant and jiggle the elephant's tail when R approaches the back. If both your timing and jiggling are lucky, you could land B on R.

      2. The more controlled version of getting B to R is to use two exploits as @richardfu_ pointed out: Climbing and Tip Traverse. Essentially (giving yourself some space and time) send B to the centre block at the back edge of the elephant, but before B get's there, lift the tail all the way such that the draggable block now rests where you sent B. B should "climb" onto the draggable block because of his autopilot routine. Then it is just a matter of slowly lowering the tail with B "traversing" the sides of the draggable block. When you have him almost to the opposite side, B will be prevented by the motor in his way, but you can use this to push him off the draggable onto R's head.

      3. [INTENDED WAY] There is a hidden win block in the belly of the elephant. Similar to 1, with the right amount of jiggling you can flick B onto this win. It's easier if you descend B halfway down first, then quickly loosen B from the metal half pillar and hit him with it towards the win block.

      @nGord that was my 2nd way! Ha!
