Time Savers Lv3

—Level 3: Barry and Roberto

Help Barry (B) to unlock his jet ski in the cottage.

Spoiler: Tricks

• low ceiling effect

Spoiler: Time-saving tips

• you can do multitasking - while Roberto is headed to the ball, you can guide Barry to do something else
• there's a zapper under the corner ball near the budgeable. Don't let Barry or Roberto go near it. Okay, Barry can step on it but whatever you do, do not let Roberto step on it after dislodging the budgeable bridge.

Liked the logic required for the gameplay and the method of getting B over to the finish. Didn’t see the point of the altered sand wedges.

A big and difficult logic level with me. Caused me to restart so many times to understand the gameplay without any tricks. Nothing is so obvious and interesting to explore it. I'll remember this level. Thanks for sharing.

— @ridgerunner - Sorry about that. I went a little bit excessive when I was decorating the level in Mekostudio. I'll use real wedges next time. Thanks for P, C, and R.

— @Sun Eagle | Thanks for completing the level. Actually, I intend this to be the level 4 but I removed 2 mechanisms to simplify it and published it as level 3.
Hmm, okay, I'll keep your feedback in mind. Probably I'm over-complicating the level.

Thanks for P, C, and R.

@laurence.gr I'm a new member in here so maybe it's just hard for me but not too hard for other players. Keep it up, I liked it.

Tough one to rate as you used hidden again and you know what I think of that. It's very hard for me to work thru a level if I can't see the ending. It nags at me but my only saviour was the balls - get then and see what happens. Not seeing the ending, I had to use Mekostudio to set up each section to work thru the game play - starting from the end. The center section was tricky too as I didn't think R would pass the rail as it was too low, again, Mekostudio helped out. I was stuck at the start as I didn't see the move at 35 seconds. After the video showed me that, I could see the rest of the game play. I wasn't happy :mad: when R GOT STUCK ON THE BALL IN THE CORNER. As soon as I pushed R with the motor, I seen it but B was in the wrong place. I said "Where's the recovery card" - none and so close to the end . Overall - very nice level but one does need time or many restarts to work it out.

— @Meko Guy | Thanks for P, C, and R.

It was designed to be a trap. Sorry about that. I placed a grass block as an indicator for B to guide R away from the ball but okay, the zapper is not visible. I've got to remove that from my future levels.

I prepared recovery cards but you mentioned before that some players don't like them so I decided not to include them.
I'll consider adding these cards in the future.

@laurence.gr - I have many levels coming out starting tomorrow with a recovery card for the last section or half way point. BTW, players didn't not like them, they just never said they used it or thanked me for it so I stopped....

Such a wonderful level.
Great reuse of elements..

Why we can't see the highlight of lvl 4

| @Anomynous — Thanks for P, C, and R. This level was supposed to be the level 4 in the series. This means that I'll use level 3 as level 4. I removed the preview so as not to spoil the next level.

@laurence.gr
Ah... I don't know you have a video at Caption. My start is a bit different.

Spoiler: My Start

But your start is more stable and easier than me, haha.

| @Sun Eagle - that's clever . I never thought of that when I was designing the level.
Good alternative.

| @cpw — Fimally . You're playing here and there lately
If Mekorama 2 comes out, we expect more levels from you and the others.
Thanks for playing :joy2:
