The Cricket: Tiny Wall Climber

First came the Brown Recluse, 26 blocks

Then the Magnetar, 24 blocks

And now, the Cricket, just 14 blocks.

EDIT!!: New slightly bigger brother available now, just 19 blocks, easier level completion thanks to its grabbing arm: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=672473895

This little wall climber is heavily inspired by both the Brown Recluse and the Magnetar (links down below). Like the previous two, this is an all vanilla machine. To achieve the speed setting on the flying blocks, I set a motor wheel speed to 2.0 and then copied it over to the flying blocks. The rest of the machine was built using the fps glitch and half block placements.

This is the smallest of the three machines, capable of fitting through the gate of the castle in the sandbox. Due to its thinner profile, it is more nimble, but also more twitchy than the other two machines, so can be a bit tricky to handle at higher speeds sometimes.

Without the flying blocks active the Cricket will wheelie, which is useful if you want to flip the device over in order to fly, the wheels when in flight act as reaction wheels to steer the craft in the air.

Like the Magnetar this machine can be flipped and driven on each side.

However unlike the other two, this build can beat all 30 zone without modification (although not easily). The Cricket uses a firework built into the machine to destroy Ipsilon brick (and itself) or to extinguish the Sacred Flame. To extinguish the flame takes a lot of practice, either destroy the tower and force the flame to the ground to extinguish it or, fly up to the flame and toggle the firework to extinguish it. Of course a water cannon or extra rockets could be added to beat levels quicker or easier.

Controls:
Up arrow for forward (you can slightly increase the speed if you wish)
Left arrow, bank left, combine with up arrow to turn on the spot
Right arrow, bank right, again combine with up arrow to turn on the spot
T key turn on firework, use the explosive as a suicide bomb to destroy Ipsilon castles or to extinguish the Sacred Flame, charge set to 5
O key: Toggle flying blocks for downforce or for flight.

As it flies quite fast you might have an easier time controlling the machine at slower speeds, from very high/fast impacts the machine can break, so try to soften the impact by using the flying blocks.

I highly recommend looking at Ross Plasvic's Brown Recluse tutorial video as it shows his build beating the levels, my machine essentially functions the same, plus I'm no good at recording vids: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=575475348&searchtext=brown+recluse

His video is also very good, again, functionally very similar
