      I really wanted the woodpecker to participate in the gameplay. Therefore, in the first version of the level, the woodpecker had to take one star (below underground, then this star rises). But! After repeated testing, I realized that the woodpecker takes the star is not stable. Sometimes he misses a star when he swings his beak. Therefore, I had to rearrange the star to a more stable place. For those who want to try the first version of the level, here it is:

      It was fun but unrealistically i was hoping for something more dynamic from the bird, as the Great Spotted Woodpecker is one of my favourites. So it was appropriate that it was a red bot.
      Forgot to mention that the first version worked for me. Though only tried it once.

      Fantastic design:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:, you did a really good job of making the holes in the foliage of the tree, it gave more green color and made the design more realistic. I also liked the woodpecker, he really seemed to be banging his beak on a tree, a great effect!
      :eek::cool::thumbsup::Do_O
      The shape of the woodpecker's head is very similar to the real one, from some angles.
      Interesting moves:thumbsup:, the only thing I didn't really like was the start:confused:. There you have to move the slider for a long time until you release the bot:rolleyes:. I tried first version of the level, and the woodpecker doesn't need a star, because you're triggering the up slider anyway, and it's going to be too easy.

      @ridgerunner Mekorama sometimes limits the author's imagination. On this I agree with you - I wanted to do something more dynamic. But... This is the maximum that I could come up with, so that it works stably. The woodpecker has a small but very stable movement dynamics. It does not stop, does not turn around, and is quite similar (imitates well). Therefore, I am satisfied with this result.
      Thank you very much!!! I am very glad that the first version worked well for you!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:;)

      @Mekologic Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!:D:D:D I am very glad that you liked the idea and design;). Sorry for the beginning of the gameplay. I wanted to make it faster, for this I changed the rails to other blocks. But! Testing has shown that it is very unstable. It was not the motor that moved, the PR bot itself moved. And the bot got inside the tree, and could no longer return. That's why I returned the rails - it's more stable.
      I'm glad that the first version works for you too.;)
