    @Ray Aznable That "cool opening" would be a shortcut, if B could land on that block. The intended way (much cooler) is from the original level and uses the steps on the other sides.

    intended way sounds more cool,
    and to respect the maker idea,
    i should finish it intendedly...

    ...
    im stuck, since the stair's dragable dots
    are hidden in the back, so i watched video
    for opening...
    and you know what???
    my jumping shortcut couldnt make B
    go to first place intendedly, where there are
    2 Z bots...
    so for sure, this level is shortcut free....

    i solved this level before i fall asleep 6 hours ago.
    im stuck for a while
    always ended like this,
    20200715_032815.jpg
    maybe because im sleepy
    my brain isnt working well lol...
    so i watch the video, just to know
    that Z just simple need to be pushed
    by long slider......
    somehow, Z's movement isnt stable,
    it walk diagonally after stand on B"s eye.
    happened 3 times and finally i solve this level

    20200715_105310.jpg

    im hiding my reply in spoiler
    to saving the chat space
    of your educational topic thread.

    its a bonus, talking about Maya tribe,
    believe it or not, they are originated
    from Tamil people lol

    and people in thousands years ago,
    already have advanced technology
    im not india people,
    i shared those not for promoting india,
    and also im not hindu,

    the purpose of video owner also to share
    scientific story behind ancient sites,
    also he describe india god
    as alien not as divine bein

    @Ray Aznable Thanks for trying Kukulkan! In the original, Z could pop out so quickly it was just luck to escape. So I worked hard to make that more playable (and added another surprise Z!). I thought it gives the feel of a scary temple adventure. Yeah, if B twists a little, it will send Z on a slight angle. I tried to make it so if Z falls, the player could always get Z back up and try again. It seems if you do it like the video it's more reliable, step one block past the spot and come back. Thanks for the educational videos also!

    Yes, every level I posted here was edited, usually because I liked and was inspired by the original. I always included links to the original level.

    I recently saw a remake of Crash Course by Meko-Maker @Martin Magni and thought maybe I'd try it too. There have been lots of these, so I challenged myself to make one that looked as close to the original as possible. That meant hiding some things (three things to be exact--thanks to @meko for one of the hiding places!). The result got a chuckle from my six-year-old, so I'm happy with it:

    there is an underatted author, named @Marcos19
    his levels providing moves which are actually
    unusual...
    the first time Im interested by him was from
    his level tittled E-20, its interesting how he set
    unordinary path for a ball to drop,
    it seem impossible, ball may trip off wrong way,
    in fact it is 100% working
    20200719_022137.jpg

    then he posted next level
    [​IMG]
    tried it and suprised, that level has unexpected
    moves too...
    unfornately, to be honest the design wasnt good
    for such a level which contain good gameplay,
    also there is one big flaw which is, a hidden
    dragable to hold balls falling from top,
    to be used as bridge to reach win block.

    so I help him redecorate the level to be more pretty
    and change the hidden dragable to be easily seen.

    I really enjoyed this funny meko-drama by @Fendi Rahardian yesterday:



    Fendi is one of my favorite creators (see here and here). Even this simple, funny level got me thinking. Here's a variation of the story...

    Recently I discovered the wild and funny Coconut Zipline by @Block builder (another one of my favorite creators). Like others, though, I had some trouble handling the zipline. So I worked on that a bit, to make it easier and more reliable. And added a couple little things to the puzzle. I had to keep the same name because it's so great:

    Wow, an interesting week. Yesterday @DDD shared an old level called Eric Moore (his favorite drummer). Puzzling and acrobatic, and great looking too. The most exciting parts, though, didn't work so well on my tablet. So I tried editing those areas a bit, and then had a couple interesting ideas to add to the puzzle. The different ending inspired a new title.

    Today I saw another great mechanism level, Loop by @Ramenpie. With the perpetual ball motion, it reminded me of Ball Factory (that I edited not long ago). Ingenious and fun to watch, but really no gameplay. So I tried some editing to see if there was a puzzle that could keep me running around those wondrous mechanisms longer. Here's what I came up with:

    Another nice design today, Tri-RexZilla by @d'SUKI. My son loved it too, so I had to try to give it a little more gameplay...

    B was about to have lunch, when he noticed something in his way. He tried to reason with the beast. But that didn't go well. Will B ever get to his lunch?

    This one is very hidden, to preserve the excellent sculpture. The puzzle is mostly to make my son laugh.

    today, an author named @Saben Dino
    posted a level titled "Yoiso"
    [​IMG]
    very fun logic level with no trick.
    (edit : i forgot when said with no trick,
    there is one trick at the beginning, to make
    B jump over the dragable, called as Autopilot)

    providing some unique steps and cooperating:
    1. which obligating P bots must get through
    some weird blocks,
    2. and R being redirected by doing bumping yellow bot's head to the stair.
    also, this level has unique hidden
    automatic mechanism which then will
    trigger the start point of yellow bot,
    to rotate counter clockwise...
    BUT, There is one problem...
    So I helped to fix it, and redecorate abit...

    One of my favorite levels is Wizard's Spire, by @retrograde. Beautifully simple design, full of tricks, and an exciting ending. Today I thought I'd try making another version, keeping with the simplicity of design and adding a new trick or two. I think this one's a little more difficult, but hopefully as forgiving as the original.

    The funny and surprising Octopus 4kids by @PvB intrigued me when I first saw it. Amazing mechanism. Some players asked about an adult version, and that got me thinking. Here's my attempt... I won't say more so as not to spoil the surprise.

    back in 25th June 2020,
    there is a level posted by @Nicodenvalls
    tittled "Get to France"
    [​IMG]
    a level which provide pure mechanical puzzle.
    not so hard not so easy suitable for every age.
    sadly it has one big flaw, which is can be solved
    by autopilot shortcut. because mr. nico was
    very green to the forum, he still dont know much
    about tricks. yet he already has skill to concept
    a good puzzle level with mechanism.

    so here I helped him to make better version
    to prevent shortcut and added some hints
    inside the map, so even toodlers able to play it,
    and can practice logic skill from that level,
    hopefully.

    I'm a big fan of @Don G Rowe's (many, many) levels, and particularly enjoyed his wild Chaos Control. I took another look at it again yesterday, and started playing around, trying to tame the chaos just a bit (despite the creator's intentions) to see if I could get some pieces to fall more consistently. Then I had a few fun ideas to add to the puzzle. So here's the result, with gratitude for all Don's levels I've enjoyed:
