Dropping the Ball

nice puzzle, took me a while to figure out. almost forgot how gravity pads worked on balloons. part with the triangle block was very clever

I guess that the playblock is so seldom used by most players that they aren't too familiar with its settings.

Oops! You're absolutely right! I didn't notice that the block size could be changed! Not a bug at all -- just my own stupidity. Sorry about that! But solving it with the small block was an interesting challenge. A beautiful puzzle in either case!

You can enlarge the playblock when solving the puzzle. I checked by subscribing to my own puzzle.

This puzzle has a bug -- or has the wrong official solution. Here is a solution to the puzzle as given: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZIkFzXDSh4 The official solution uses a large triangle block, but the puzzle as given has a small one. This makes it much more fiddly, since it requires quite a bit of trial and error to get timing just right. One sticky wall is used to hold the small triangle in just the right place so the soccer ball just makes it to the switch. Then, without using a sticky wall, the timing of the jack-in-the-box has to be exactly right to hit the soccer ball as it rises.
