Possible improvements:
Level 1: step 1
List of tricks and shortcuts:
Corner cutting: Wood and paper ball allow you to cut corners to save time with high speed.
Floating: Paper ball may float over a huge distance with a reasonable height.Perfect example is level 3(Sexy).
Ridge racing: The technique that you can use a wood or stone ball run over a single rail manually or by adjusting position perfectly. You need this to do level 8's trick and the whole level 12.
Half pushing1: This is the technique that when you push a box for the block on top to fall down, you can use full speed and push to one direction. What happen is your ball will go through while a small corner of the box still sustain the block, which allow you to go back. You need this in level 7 and 10.
Half pushing2: There is a thing with 3 wooden bars block your way and you need to push the target on the other side to move the bars. You only need to push the target once to go through it.
Level 1:
1st Part
1.Go over the three boxes (Don't fall!!! Try to ridge race just after the first life to get to the stone transformation, I have tried it, it is possible although it is hard to avoid the transformation, this will save 5
secs!!!) - Possible improvement
2.Avoid stone transformation
3.Ridge race and fly straight to the rail(the place with four paper balls)
4.Don't push the wood ball
2nd Part
5. Get the 2nd life but don't fall off. (It is possible to avoid the life and that's even faster)
6. Avoid the box at the top and fall down earlier to save time
3rd Part
7. Ignore the 3rd life and 2 push targets, go full speed and fly across(Is it possible to avoid collision here?)
4th Part
8. Push paper ball and don't turn, full speed down.
9. Some corner cutting here.
Level 9
Part 1
1. Push the wood board and let the stone ball roll, don't go and roll back, wait until the stone ball reach the closest end of the lowest level of the rail, full speed and turn left straight to the rail, time it right and you will get the stone ball as your safety cushion. (Save 4 secs)
Part 2
2. Before the life, when you at the top, go full speed and fall to skip two sand bags.
Part 3
3. Full speed to the crates, try bypass those long bars by roll at the edge, risky but time saving.
Part 4
4. After push two stones, go straight across to the other side using wood ball.
Part 5
5. Just keep practicing until you can push down all the weights in one go, not very hard but be careful when using the stone ball.
6. Don't push the wood fall bridge, you can easily go across.
Level 12:
You can opt for manually balancing your ball or have some time adjusting the position before you roll. I recommand manually because 1. It is faster. 2. You can control the situation.
Part 1:
1. See the life, and turn, go ridge race!
Part 2:
2. Get to the second(big platform), go ridge race straight to the next part.
Part 3:
3. Turn to stone, full speed to push the other stone and continue rolling but stick to the rail from the right.
Part 4:
4. Hardest part in this whole game. After the wood transformater, go a bit left and ridge race on the left rail. Enjoying your ride for 6 secs and fall to the left to push the wood bridge.
Part 5:
5. Keep practice until you can push all the thing down in one go.
6. Stone ball fall straight to the paper transformater.
Part 6:
7. Nothing exciting here, I will go for Up, Left and Right to push those stone balls.
Part 7:
8. We are nearly there, wood go straight to the stone transformater, ridge race back and get in the two rails to be in perfect position, then go up the rail ramp and push down all the crates(Brake here!), don't go anywhere else, ridge race to the next part.
Part 8:
9. Nothing exciting here, becareful, you really don't want to fork up...
