I spent an entire session on this a few months ago never making it lower than 102. Coming back today with a new perspective, I surprisingly quickly saw another idea to reach the exit, which turned out to optimize to the solution. Very interesting level. Deceptively simple, but very easy to deadlock yourself if you’re not careful with the beer blocks.

Fantastic solution. Really struggled with this one, I found at least 6 distinct 2-offs, and I imagine there’s still plenty more. The actual solution is counterintuitive, yet seems so clearly good once you spot the idea. Great construction on this one.

Twiddle Twice

Solution here actually feels pretty intuitive once you figure out what steps are needed to touch the exit. Fun!

Outdent

Very cool solution. This level offers seemingly infinite variants that get you to 62 and 64, but the 58 is well-hidden and really unlike all the other routes. Great level, and I love the aesthetic too. :)

Aunty ant ;))

I’ve found several different ways to get 246, kinda wish one of them resolved to a 244. Cute level though. Edit: now that I’ve solved it again, that’s a really funny solution. It makes some sense, but is definitely hard to spot, and requires some trickery to pull off. Really cool!

Lil' Hill

There’s a few pretty cool holeboard tactics hidden here! Really nice 85. This level of course remains iconic in my heart for how hilarious its existence is. Definitely one of the funniest pathology gags I’ve seen, and a pretty good level to boot.

Great White Ninja

What a cool level, that solution is bizarre and super super hard to see. Really elegant though. Despite feeling a bit slow, it still makes sense once you get the idea.

Parlous Precinct

Fun! Feels like a classic block manipulation puzzle, not too tough with some nice optimization.

Cute level! Really fun solution, definitely has ***************************************************************** but with some thought the solution is not tough to come to.

Challenge A.1

No idea what I was doing on this 7 months ago, but the 74 feels pretty intuitive now. Maybe I’m just better than I was. :) Pretty fun puzzle though, a nice take on this challenge.
