Mekorama 2.0 Discussion around levels for Mekorama 2.0

@delator77 Slider freeze isn't much a trick (but I still included it in the trick list for a better hint). Let's see how @Martin Magni thinks...

 

@delator77 They are optional. It is possible to solve the level without using tricks:

 

Technically, that has an 'exploit' (trick) in it, which MM is trying to avoid with any offered levels... but yeah, @richardfu_ is one of the pioneers of the builders, figuring out all sorts of new moves & tricks. I'd love to know who was the first to have a bot hit a ball... that is one lovely move, and it deserves a Gold Medal.

 

I think that the first level using balls on pillars is this one:

It certainly looks like it. I've been going through the levels, starting at the beginning (just looking at the screenshots) to see if I could spot that particular ball mount, and nothing so far. Lots of soccer and golf and pinball and basketball, but not the (now) standard ball mount.

 

@vince - I tried "Square One II" again, and got almost all the way to the end... all the balls knocked down, P and R where they should be. Ah, well...

 

Roger that. And as far as editing the other thread, yeah, I know I can... I was just doing chronological order.

 

Maybe we should have some kind of vote among the most popular levels on the forum, keeping in mind that no tricks should be involved. I'm just trying to find ideas for finding the most interesting levels...

 

Shouldn't the level recommendation thread be closed as @trids asked Martin to advise when the levels have been decided upon?

 

There will be more updates with more featured levels so we can still suggest some levels

 

I don't think many of our suggestions were used, if any

 

You are right, it is a bit disappointing since we were explicitely asked to suggest levels... But who knows, maybe in the next update ?

 

Holy cow! Has anyone tried to play Stadion in the Masters section? With the third camera axis of motion, it makes it almost impossible, and that's one of the tightest race levels I've seen built.

 

I played that when it first came out years ago, and I barely beat it... I found that the top down view actually helps with timing in this one.

 

Yes!
