Main trick is well designed with a nice 2 cut. Cool level!

Memory of Light

Somehow the fireworks for a level clear don't feel sufficient here. Level is tough but i think the difficulty is a bit inflated by a lot of plays/pokes having been the toughest level on the site for a while. Personally I'd say lightbringer was harder, but I think everyone will have different levels pose them different challenges. 1st Ranked Completion Complete!!!

Vicious Circle

Funny that everyone was playing around in the 570 area for so long. The path to ~500 actually isn't all that difficult. The last 2 kept me searching for a while!

Laplace's Demon

Laplace's Demon marks a few milestones for me. My 4,000th clear, my 150th record. I missed a nice route cut the first time through so a really nice find by Reach that I added just a little bit of polish to. A supreme challenge in route finding with some very good optimizations along the path. I look forward to hearing the details of other brave souls who look to conquer this! As an addendum, the cuts below 583 I need to give a lot of credit to Reach for. The author x Manti collab check-in to make sure things were still mostly working as intended produced some interesting blindspot results on both of our parts that hopefully i've brought in line at 575. Missed 4 "easy steps" took 4 months to optimize? maybe we're done? Came back to this after it was added to the official world and optimized further and couldn’t get started for a while due to level fatigue. Finally got over it and immediately landed at 567 so no idea what I was missing before. The last 6 were fun to dig out.

Kinda annoying to start but pretty satisfying solution
