Well right or purple balls do heavier?

I'm sorry - that translation makes no sense. I cannot even guess what it is supposed to mean.

I downloaded after the update, and the comment that one person had downloaded the original.

Gravity is set to 200%.
We have $1000 to spend.
And it looks like rockets are cheaper at $200.
I think it also asks only for 1/3 dillos to exit.

And my "Robin" comment was referring to Batman and Robin - where Robin always comes second.

Prices are altered and do we need all three in the portal to do it

[KuzyaHG]

Alex worries.
May be purple balls is too light?
)))
His English is terrible without dictionary)
But with one it's only literally

[KuzyaHG]

Well right or purple balls do heavier?

Well right = Is it well
or purple balls do heavier = Or I need to do purple balls some heavier?

DO WE NEED ALL 3 FOR IT TO COUNT

DO WE NEED ALL 3 FOR IT TO COUNT

In the bottom right, it says "1/3 g=200%"

Which I think means we only need one of the three dillos to complete the level.
And that gravity is set to 200%.

The level will complete, whichever one of the three dillos we get to the portal. (I believe the purple dillos are small enough to fit the portal.)

But, I appreciate it's a fair question to get confirmation of.

Perhaps a better question would be:
Must we get the yellow dillo to the portal?
Or can we succeed with one purple dillo in the portal?

I am still working out whether to get yellow to the portal, or ignore it completely, and work with one of the purples.



Alex was more correct than he realises. "Well good" or "Well bad" is the modern hip slang for "That is good" or "that is bad". "Well right" was not that wrong....
As for us telling him whether the purples are too light - well, I don't know. I think only he can decide that.
And it probably depends on the answer to which dillo he wanted us to get to the portal.

Update:
It is difficult to say much, and this is already very close to spoiler territory. But I think the purples are about right, and not too light.

After some experimentation, I think I understand what Alex was concerned about.

A purple landing from above does not smash through the Batman structure very easily, and often stops above a wing, or bounces away to one side.
If it does manage to penetrate, however, it then seems impossible to stop in the lower structure. It changes from feeling too light, to feeling much too heavy.

The plates and anchors protecting the portal make it very hard to get there. Which is exactly as it should be.
The difficulty of using the purple dillos to make a path to the portal is intense, but can be done. I have managed to get to the portal with not that much building, but a lot of tuning.

Alex need not worry.
I think the balance is almost perfect. Just when you think you've found the Goldilocks solution, it finds a whole new way to fail!
And, I can see from my experimentation, that there are a lot of different ways to solve this.

In my opinion, this is an amazing challenge.

EDIT: PS I haven't actually achieved a finish yet, but am responding to the concerns expressed.
And, I think it will be so difficult to get a purple to the portal, that it does not matter which one of the three is used to complete the challenge.

We need to catch the yellow dillo.
