@KPACABA It's very easy for multiple people to think of the same concept independently, especially in a limited sandbox like Mekorama. Just wait until there 50k levels on the Mekorama forums. It won't be a matter who came up with an implementation, but who has the best implementation. Certainly a lot of inspiration comes from other games, whether video, sport, or physical arcade/carnival type games. Other ideas come from just seeing things in everyday life (machines, math, etc.) and trying to replicate them. If you're a bit of an old-timer like me (if you call 45 old), I've seen almost all the concepts implemented in some way before Mekorama came into being. I recommendation: If you come up with what you think is a truly novel implementation, so do it really well, and don't be afraid to make improvements to it. If it's a good level other people will borrow the concepts within and attempt to make newer even better levels with them, and that's a complement. If you're level is worth it's salt it will last the test of time.
this idea a lot of people come to mind, which makes it not original. I did not mean that you have copied someone's level
