Once I read about the FD peculiarities here, Spoiler I just used it with force to fling B onto the pedestal. Then an easy walk. With an effective fling, nothing else in the level mattered.
@MomoKeego I find quick starts really annoying. When I open up a new level it takes a bit of time to just take in what it is! Have you tried the suggestion in a comment by @delator77 , if you hold the screen vertically, try turning it horizontally?
