Glad you liked 'Oil Rig.' It was the 1st custom level I ever constructed. It took me weeks to get the angles of the pipe 'just right.' And, some pipe just wouldn't rotate the way I wanted.

Maybe some day I'll make version 2, but right now I don't have time and even if I did, I lost my Marble Blast game. I deleted it from my computer to make space for Leopard (macosX 10.5). Thinking I would just take it off my the start up disk that came from my computer. Heck, now I can't find the startup disk. :((

But, don't let that stop you from making your own version of Oil Rig. I don't have any copyrights on it yet.

Thanks!

I made a lot of diddley ones before 'Oil Rig,' but 'Oil Rig' was the only one that I would submit to the forum. Most of my levels start as a 'simple' idea and evolve from that idea. For instance, 'Open House' started as a simple maze inside the 'house level' but became larger as I added levels and features. If you have a great idea, you will find you level building takes on a life (and enthusiasm) of it's own.

But, don't make the mistake of thinking a level has to be large. Remember, Volcano Chasm, by Ken Mair is pretty simple yet is one of the master's, Matan's, favorite.

Cheers,

Try looking in CLA. :) There should be a topic for it on the main LE forum.
