This looks funny. I did neither use anything besides the woods - no 
triggers, no coinslot, no hammer, no doors.

BTW the upper, most left door looks a little bit strange. You may want 
to choose another door type.

I solved the meditation in 1:40 :-)

The difference in their movements is caused by different "mouseforce" 
values of 1.0 for small white marbles and 2.0 for the killers. I have no 
idea who did set it to these values and why. But we should not change 
the defaults, as every author can use other values if necessary.

Greets,
