Tree Patrol

Patrolling the giant heritage tree at the national park is tough business for B, especially when dealing with the mean tasing Zap. And yet, B will need the dangerous bot's help after all.

      The tree looks like Valentina (medusa-like enemy of Darna) :eek:

      I'll give it a try.

      @mothproof - Are tricks required and if so, which?
    • Meko Guy
      @mothproof - I believe I got the game play down and no tricks were required - some good timing but the last move wasn't very stable for me?
      Z can win by walking over P to the win but P isn't frozen and therefore Z isn't stable at the win. Close or not even close?

      Sorry - B did need one trick - a tap and miss (auto pilot)

      Superficially looks as if it will be an easy B win but i won with Z.

      @Meko Guy Just one trick, although that's hardly a trick since we all at one time or another accidentally commit that misstep where we try to mount P and fail. Was gonna make a level with no tricks whatsoever but, well, inevitably Ive had to include one.

      @Meko Guy In my 30 + (lol) playtest, Z spun around on that last move only once. The ovehead motor kept him stable early on, so he was pretty ok by the end. I was surprised he spun that one time.
    • Meko Guy
      @mothproof - I retried the ending by setting up the last ¼ of the level and after 5 attempts, Z spun every time. The only way that I could win was with B dying and that caused P to bend over and then Z eventually walked over the win albeit sideways. I am surprised that you used that ending move after the discussion on your last level and that the lower bot must be frozen :confused: otherwise, the upper may not get off (even if the height was right).

      @Meko Guy I had another go at the level just now. No spinning. Maybe my Z is better at keeping still. Lol.

      @mothproof - I see two issues at the end.
      1. How are you freezing P so Z doesn't become unstable?
      and
      2. Even if P is frozen, Z doesn't like getting off P (including a PillarB) at the same height, R's want to climb up one level if on a P.

      Check out this demo of the right height, you'll note that R climbs and therefore will not get to the win unless B squats....
