Wizard's Castle

Large level with lots of routes. I dropped a star for the hidden, the traps, the red herrings and a shortcut that required a simple auto pilot (tap and fall). The hidden - I see you opened it up a lot but it was trial and error if R was going to make it or not as one couldn't see. Trial and error in the last part of a long level doesn't go well with me. Traps - you had many and when B got stranded due to low ceiling effect at the very end, again I wasn't impressed. The last ball in front opposite B wasn't required. The shortcut -

Spoiler: Shortcut

The two draggable lift above the win can let B down into the center without going all the way around over the mechanism etc.

Overall, nice level and good work.

@gmacpro Thanks for the rating and comments, . I tried to keep it as open as possible, but couldn't find a way to get R going where needed and keep it in the open. As for the shortcut - it is 'no tricks', ! Thanks for playing.

@Jom

First off, I very rarely read the description before playing a level. I download all the new levels, play and comment where applicable.
2nd, if you are going to make a level and not even protect from simple tricks / bumps / etc even though you know how to do them but say 'Please don't use tricks' then I have an issue with that.
3rdly, why did you incorporate claustrophobia within the level, if no tricks was the rule?

@gmacpro I wasn't aware that claustrophobia was happening? It isn't necessary my way. As to tricks, I can do them sometimes, I have a go, but it's not really my thing.

@Jom

You have low ceiling in the bottom corner where B needs to go in and redirect R to the win. On my first attempt going in, I wasn't expecting anything to happen and next thing I know, B is stranded and a restart is required.

As for your shortcut, I did it as intended but noticed the easy shortcut in the process. Upon winning, I tested the shortcut and it was valid. A simple tap on the lift, move it and B falls missing a lot of the level.

@gmacpro I never had that claustrophobia happen to me so wasn't aware of it. I will watch out for low ceilings in future, but it certainly wasn't used as a trick in the solution of this one. Thanks for your help.

Excellent clean logic level...challenging and fun...And great design...Thanks for sharing @Jom

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it, .

@Jom - Forgot to mention earlier - the ball below the falling mechanism can fall with the lift so there's no need for the slider or R to get it.

Spoiler: Another Shortcut

After B drops the ball so R can come in from the bottom center passage and gets R in there. B can go up to the lift and be bumped off onto the center section also skipping the whole other part.

I'll do a movie as it's not trick.

Spoiler: Video

@gmacpro That's fun, . You can do that, but is it any quicker?

@Jom -

Yes!! If B doesn't have to drop the mechanism nor chance getting zapped by tall zapper, drop the end ball and release it, etc then it's a shortcut. I'm only trying to help you and since my comment was the 1st, you could have easily fixed it and reposted the level 'Good to Go' but if you want to stand by a level with obvious or easy shortcuts, that's your call.

Really nice level ! i don't know tricks very well yet so this level fits me

@Kayan Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the rating.

Nice logic level and great design! Thanks for sharing!
