The condensed level to end all condensed levels!
ILFC (Dozenalist) should try building a level like this sometime.
Actually, you could still do that in the 1×1 Challenge. Simply halve the thickness of the platform for modified gravity, halve the length (or width) of the start pad platform, and decrease the size of the start pad and gravity modifier. Place a small Gyrocopter on the start pad to have the marble fly to the gravity modifier using wall-hits.
If this were 2×1, you could have used a gravity modifier to essentially make the level ∞×2×2 (or 2×∞×2) instead of 2×2×∞, sacrificing infinite height for infinite length. And, I think the 1×1 Challenge can be pushed much further.
You can put the finish much higher so you need to use super bounce + gyrocopter + super jump
I quickly realized the super bounce wasn't even needed since you can just use the gyrocopter to fall down and finish for a faster time. Perhaps I should have added a gem there so you have to use that, but doing that now would mess up the leaderboards and I don't feel like deleting this. I could have done more like a tightrope challenge or falling to a lower platform at the start to retrieve a powerup but I was in a rush.
It's actually pretty good for what it is! I like the progression: it starts trivial, then gets harder, and the Super Bounce actually takes some puzzling to figure out what to do! I think you could probably take this concept a few platforms further, even.
The 1x1 challenge was a joke and I only made this to see if it was even possible to make one. This level was meant to be slop. I'd like to see a 5x5 or 4x4 level (or even 3x3).
While the 1×1 Challenge seems too limiting for me, you have made me more interested in creating a 5×5 (or even 4×4) level eventually. The goal is to make the level look and feel official with a lovely atmosphere, and be of excellent quality and replayability. While 5×5 is almost certainly possible, 4×4 is far more challenging. This is because if the level has a central tower, the path must be less than 2 tiles wide. I dislike having the level that cramped, so I will be forced to find alternative solutions.
