I loved this level each time I’ve cleared it. There’s a lot of orders and enough options to make anyone paranoid they’ve missed something on the path. To top it all off the final 2 cut is deceptive. Yfkd with the classic Yfkd 2 step saver here.
The 2 cut is such quality that it makes up for a lot of the rest of the level being pretty orderly. There’s one part that has almost 3 different ways to do it and I just wish one was faster. Would make this much better.
Oh this was really smart and tricky! Well spotted Dgriff!
It’s big, there’s a lot of holes, but this is IMO the best of the three. The path isn’t obvious, there’s a lot of small cuts sprinkled throughout and the order matters. It’s also fun enough to play despite the length. That combination will always get a 5 star from me. Did anyone notice cartman said he was going home but instead took all his blocks out of his house and stayed outside?
I think this is the easiest of the three part series. The blocks that needs to fill the holes are obvious and the cuts aren’t too hard.
Of the three I think this is the toughest. Checkerboard hole filling is always tough but rarely fun. This gets a bit of a reprieve because it’s under 10 holes. There’s a lot of cross paths and micro block management here to test even the most veteran solvers while still managing to retain some fun.
2 mirrored paths. Was hoping one of the mirrors would be a 2 off. Otherwise good level for testing block timing.
This level has everything you can ask for from a smaller pp1 level. Path choices, optimizations, compressed movement that matters. Good fun.
I love when levelmakers do that with their 2 step cuts. It’s hard to see and analyze because you’re never ready for it.
Neat concept, but the savers are classic and not really veiled at all. Was intimidated by the stepcount but managed it in one try.
