Recommendations Levels good enough to tweak

The other day I discovered the unique and ingenious Mini World by @meko. I couldn't guess how he accomplished that great rotational motion. So I dug inside--and found a single eye! I didn't have anything to add to his wonderful ball puzzle, but I did wonder how B would behave on that spinning world. It seemed unworkable at first, until I made it more like a sphere. Then I discovered B could even go into orbit!

There are many ways to win, but I think this one is the most fun: Orbit to the win!

 

I came across another imaginative creation by @Ludo Friend, called Library Ladders. Like the other wonderful one of his that I tweaked before, this was more sculpture than puzzle. So I tried to make it a little more puzzling. It's trickier now, but not very difficult. And still very nice to look at.

I did a little more tweaking on Operation Dark Magic yesterday. Made the exciting bridge part more intentional, and added a few tricks that make it a little more challenging to stop Z before it he catches the escaping R. One of my favorites.

 

I was mesmerized when I first saw The Ball Tower, by @Pds. Really impressive to watch, and I like the idea of knocking balls around. But there wasn't much gameplay. So I started experimenting, but found that changing one block could affect how the balls fell on the other side of the tower! The balls also fall differently on different devices (or even on the same device, depending on what else was running). So editing was very tricky. But I think I found a version that works pretty well for some ball-bumping fun.

When I saw shared rails by @RichardCuthbert I was struck by the unique appearance and surprising cross-sliders. There was a quick solution using only two sliders, however. But editing was tricky because the sliders interact with each other, so changing one could affect others. I think I got lucky creating a new solution without too much trial and error. A simple but challenging puzzle.

Yesterday @Fendi Rahardian posted an interesting R demo, Keep Walking. I enjoyed seeing the surprising things R could do all by himself, but I wanted to help! So I added a few little things. When I changed the ending to something a little more dramatic, I was surprised by how the win behaves when laying sideways on the white...

I laughed when I saw the wild and imaginative Night Club by @Jim (the first level I edited was also one of his). A great scene, and the lit up American Bandstand logo was a fun touch. There wasn't much gameplay, though, and I wanted to spend more time having fun at the night club. So I added a few more characters (including a couple of brawlers, and a couple of lovers). And I came up with some puzzle elements that used the wobbly nature of the tall bots. Maybe they're drunk? Anyway, I think it's a pretty fun night out.

WARNING: The club is loud, so turn your volume down!

I was surprised by the massive (and charming) robot in BIG BUDDY by @d'SUKI. I've admired his impressive sculptures before. This one's the tallest level I've ever seen, and must have been very difficult to construct all folded up. The win didn't require standing the robot up, though. So I did a little editing, and with some practice found a pretty stable way to solve it.

Saw a surprisingly realistic helicopter the other day in Helipad by @Mohamad Arif Irwan. I had to see how he accomplished that great movement. Then I started tweaking it a little, and soon I had some ideas for more of a puzzle. The doors gave me the idea of using the hercules trick in a way I haven't seen before.

The domestic terrorists are on the run, but one hostage is still trapped. Can B rescue him? The door looks like it was damaged in the attack, but if B can find another way in, maybe he can get it open from the inside.

Yesterday @JackBauer posted Contact, with an amazing gyro mechanism. When I snapped out of my trance watching it, I had a couple ideas to add a little more gameplay. It looks random, but it's not.

After going through the portal, some suddenly are gone...

I tried that first, but the mechanism hits it. You can't change much around it as it fits so perfectly.

Spoiler: So...

I tried to draw the player away by an apparent path to the win. But the "magic spot" is marked...

 

I'd been wanting to try a smaller level when I came across the excellent little Viegli by @Savage. The name means "easy" (in Latvian, I think) but it didn't seem so easy to me. I had a couple little ideas to add, and tweaked the name to "not easy":

Yesterday I had an idea to add to Ominous that I think removes the ToA shortcut. No more cheating death!

I also tweaked Use Your Head some more, for a little longer and more interesting gameplay. And I just made Nav Viegli (above) a little less viegli.

 

Last week I played another great level by @Netizen, called Novelty (unfortunately it's been taken down). Attractive with an unusual and unexpected path. I had some trouble with the ending, though, so I did some tweaking to make it a little more reliable and easier to manage.
