7 Golden Balls v.1

Thanks to @ohmytian for finding a shortcut - well more like 4 shortcuts but I'd addressed two or three of them.

Spoiler: Trick List

- auto pilot
- squat drop
- metal stairs side step
- springboard stairs
- low ceiling

Spoiler: Video Solution

Fun tricky level and this time I need all balls and still couldn't find a reliable way for the first ball push. Isn't that in your video

Spoiler

squat drop was used?

It is very difficult/annoying for headless to push the side ball sideways, need some tapping back and forth so headless goes long legs as per video at 1:40.(I took about 20 attempts) The wedge ball lift was interesting and I used a different autopilot for B to get to it. The short ball ride wasn't very stable as my B stayed on the wedge lift and the ball rolled away the first time.

@ohmytian - I added squat drop to the trick list - thanks

I agree that B can take many attempts to get a side ways ball but for some reason in this level, the ball seen to fall much easier so I didn't mess with it. Sorry - it didn't work out like that for you. I did try a step in front but it too had it's issues. The ball roll doesn't happen as often as falling off on my device. On my first posted video, B fell off but on this one B held on but in both cases, there was a recovery option. Thanks for P, C and R.

Very fun tricky level with those attractive golden balls... our gameplay was the same except the moves involved with the black ball...

Spoiler

two differences:
1- the way to put B onto the black ball...I used a similar step that you used to push one of the golden balls,I mean,that jump with autopilot. Well ,you can do a similar jump (from B's initial position) where B landed onto a wedge that is next to the black ball &...
2- this one surprised me cause I was sure that my way was the intended.I am refering to the path to return to take the third star once you push the last golden ball...you use the black ball & the two draggables to carry B up.I did not.With the black ball down,tap on the black ball & low ceiling acts so B can go up using the other path (autopilot where the eye is)your way is cooler but my way seems more obviois,don't you think?

thanks for sharing & for the fun @Meko Guy

Been busy today so just got round to playing the original version. I didn't need all the balls either so will look at the revised version maybe later but probably tomorrow.

@delator77 - Nice work arounds - Thanks for explaining and of course, P, C and R.

Much easier than anticipated for v1 , probably as done all the exploring already and this version made more sense. I also took several attempts for side ball push. Slightly different autopilot at 2:25.

...
the part when
we adjusting two sliders
to control a ball, quite thrilling.
mine went to white two times.

overall, its fun,
headless do some acrobatics
through narrow spaces.

Cons: I didn't enjoy it as I have to restart twice as it's extremely difficult to achieve the first autopilot and the one where B needs to land on the wedge.
These autopilots require milliseconds between the tap and the slider control, which can be challenging to achieve with a mouse. I watched the video to progress with the level.

Pros: Very efficient use of space. The ball elevator is clever. The re-use of paths and tricks are interesting to figure out. The stair walk at 00:45 is new to me. Headless B has a lot of quirks that I don't know about.

@cloe - Speaking about mouse - I only use a mouse. The only time that I don't use a mouse is when I want to test my level on the phone. Thanks for P, C and R.

On a side note:
What emulator are you using?

@Meko Guy
I play your level straight from my desktop browser on Windows. I'm guessing you use an emulator for screen recording? I use my phone to test levels as well.

Maybe your mouse is faster than mine. I'm only using my work PC and play mekorama during breaks.

@cloe - I got you - web version versus an emulator.
