Butler! Fetch for Me a Sugar Cube!

I like it. The up/down blocks are showcased really well here

HoleLocks3

This is such a hard level and has many of the qualities that I attribute with "Grandmaster" style levels. Several of the sections "compete" with each other for path superiority and they all boast several somewhat tough to find 2 or 4 step cuts that will leave you at completely optimal 297 or 299 paths. The final 295 is just a great mix of many of the competing paths brought together with the correct timing. 293 tries for my first solve ages ago and 75 on my second. Still a monster of a level.

Patho

Got stuck on the 74 for a few tries and then had an idea that got me to the 72. Big hole filling levels like this can be such a challenge to optimize.

Tummy Ache

This was tricky. Tummy felt straightforward, this did not.

Filler

While sectored hole filling usually isn't that fun, there are a lot of good cuts in each section and the puzzle comes together well. Can be anywhere from solved to 8 off with the right idea and a bad section, which really makes you think!

Broken Hearted

Okay re-solved. The solution is just what I was doing originally with something I couldn’t make work for the longest time :/

Squiggles

A lot of options and paths here. I had the 83 pretty quickly but it was hard to pinpoint what I was losing two from. Really tricky for the size!
