This level does a great job of making all the blocks get in the way of each other while still purporting multiple paths that get close. Pretty good for a test level.

go to the ground floor!

Level design leaves something to be desired (this is also one of my least favorite paradigms pushing one block through lines of blocks pointing in the opposite direction) but the final path here is neat and there’s a good 2 off. Also probably the hardest of the three

Sister Ray

Saw this one fairly fast ~25 off to 6 to 2 to solved. 4 tries.

Quicksand

The last few flashback levels have been tough for me. This one hit that fun sweet spot (maybe because the route is more obvious and this is all optimization?) either way this was a needed confidence booster and I enjoyed it a lot!

Please Try Again

*scratches head* I swear I did that like 8 times last night and kept coming out 4 short. Why did it work now?

Murder by Numbers [IMPROVED]

After replaying this I think my 312 review was a bit unfair (path was mostly the same between the two versions with some little changes and I thought this one was more obvious), so I bumped this up 3-> 4.5. This is still tricky but i like the other version slightly more because the top center section has a lot of block entanglement. I do think the two levels play similarly since the left and right are built the same so solving one does eat into the nuance of the other a bit.

Murder by numbers

This took me a while. First I severely overcomplicated the route, then I under complicated it. Finally found a nice middle ground and caught the 2 off and finally solved it a few more attempts after that. Really hits a pleasant tricky middle ground for me.
