      @Jose Luis Galiano
      Oh my dear friend !! I am happy that you played and enjoyed it. I'm really happy !! The opinion of a real artist is more precious to me than gold! Thanks!!

      About stability. Due to stability, I had to give up a good idea. The first version of the level - the ball (which opens the staircase) pushed out an unsecured element, and it was this element that rested against the wall and advanced to the staircase on the floor. Only by this element it was possible to pass into the nose of the Bull. And there was no need to bypass the Bull's head. The passage was from the side of the drop-down element. But it worked every other time (((!. When I removed the building and the free element began to fall out crookedly as he wanted - everything began to work SUPER stably))) !.
      Once again, I want to thank you @Lang Tao Jin for the retractable staircase idea. And for the interesting walking up the stairs. I saw for the first time that you can walk up the stairs at this level - http://mekoramaforum.com/media/up-to-ball-2.23409/
      About the music. I recorded the music for the first playthrough. But then I rebuilt the level a bit. And I had to record the passage many times - in order to somehow synchronize with the music!:rotf:. Yes, this balo is not easy:rotf:. Thank you for paying attention to this.

      Thank you very much dear friend! :D;)

      @Labyrenight
      Thank you very much!!! I really appreciate your feedback! I am very glad that you liked it! I'm happy. I started making Tiger - it turned out to be much more difficult than I thought. But I will !! But it won't work quickly. Thanks for the motivation !!!
      And I have already made 4 more levels for a long time. Which I really want to publish already.

      @Denis Nazin thank you dear
      I have plenty of work since june and have no much time to create new levels. I have several ideas in mind, though. But some are very stupid ! :D
      Have a nice day

      Больше всего мне понравилась лестница-трансформер. Также здесь эффектный дизайн и интересный геймплей. Некоторые ваши карты я сохраняю и иногда переигрываю их.

      @Helena
      Я безумно счастлив , что вы поиграли именно эту мою карту и что она вам понравилась !! Это одна из тех карт, над которыми я очень долго работал. Ваш отзыв неймоверно важен для меня (как всегда). Я бесконечно рад, что вы переигрываете некоторые из моих карт. Я очень Вам благодарен за Ваши слова !! Спасибо Елена.

      Thanks, again, @Denis Nazin for all the work you put into this stunningly designed level. You're giving the Mekorama forum not just "notable levels" but real classics in this series. I loved the expanding staircase (once I got it to work, that is!) and the nose mechanism (once I figured it out!).

      Re: gameplay, it took me a while to put the first move together even though I had a strong suspicion roughly what it was. My method was harder (perhaps like @mastersifu 's?):
      bounce B on the long part of the horn when it was sideways, slowly rotate it upright, and tap on a flat surface before B falls off.

      And one must look carefully into the shadows to see things like
      not one but two balls within the bull's head.
      Those were the two trickiest things for me. Well, and figuring out the nose mechanism, but that was one of those things that I kind of figured out by accident. :)

      And now I watch the video and see that my move with the other horn was less fun than it should have been! Your ways were much more fun than mine. Now I can play the level the more enjoyable way! :rotf:

      Awesome job with the soundtrack. Of course the energy level of the rock is just the thing for the bull -- really enhances it the effect. And pulling back on the driving rhythm for the two ascending parts made them all the more dramatic & special. Again, thanks for all the work you put into this. So did you perform both guitar parts & the drums and record them and mix them together with the video?

      @Buurmas
      Thank you very much!
      I am happy that you played this particular level of mine! I put a lot of work and creativity into it. I'm glad you liked it.
      Yes, there are some hard things at this level. Therefore, I am making a video walkthrough and tips in the first two comments. I am very glad that you did it yourself.

      About the music. I am a musician and composer - this is my job. On my avatar you see a lot of instruments - I can play all these instruments. It's a common thing for me to record an arrangement - it's not at all difficult for me. I've been doing this for over 20 years. But I wrote down this music in a hurry, it's a draft. I did not have time. But I'm glad that this music complemented the BULL!:D;)

      Awesome! Still, it takes effort to coordinate and sync everything up with the music and video, so thanks for your efforts!
    • Buurmas
      Re: music, I'm just an avid amateur, but I had fun adding a humorous soundtrack (an arrangement, not an original composition) for P_simorf's Rollin In D Deep level.
    • Denis Nazin
      @Buurmas
      Are you a musician too? Is this your music on the link ??
    • Buurmas
      @Denis Nazin, that's right. Specifically in the video walkthrough I made for that level:
      I made the soundtrack using MuseScore and added the exported audio into my video. I can play a number of instruments "not that well", but I know my way around sheet music, and then MuseScore can play it for me! :thumbsup: (Although it's hard for computer-generated instruments to sound as good as real instruments... :oops:)
