Best SGM in the game
Post Solve Edit: #5000
Reminds me of Forgive me in OG era. Most difficult monstrosity with mechanism never seen before in any other puzzle at the time of their release. Yet if you actually sit down and try it out, you can see a logical way to progress, bit by bit, you get closer and closer to the optimal path. And when you finally beat it, you feel like you've solved so many puzzle as there are so many hurdles to clear, but you managed it!
The ecatasy is also amplified.
This is seriously the only SGM I can say that I had fun during the entire solving process. Thank you kjs.
Wow! Each stage of this puzzle contains cool maneuvers, and they are combined seamlessly as if by magic. And there are several magnificent false paths that make an extremely hard exit touch. Truly a brilliant level!
I just now got to the end and I would like to just say bravo on the construction here. This is definitely the hardest level in the game and the most perfectly constructed monstrosity I've ever seen. I actually have no idea how you built such a thing. Unfortunately most people will probably never get to experience this solution but if you do you are in for an absolutely wild ride.
23.01.09 1147 steps
23.06.04 1083 steps - might see if I can get this lower now. Must be doing one of the sections wrong. Really, really crazy level though. Was fun to re-solve. This level is like performing a long neurosurgery; it requires thorough planning and absolute precision of execution. A single wrong move and it's game over.
First Solve 1103 and fairly certain most of phase 3 could be improved dramatically. Probably the first level in pathology that has kept me from the exit for more then 2 full sit down sections.
1103-->1057-->1013-->1009-->995 -->987--> 983-->981-->973-->971!!!!
I don't actually understand what I did to cut the last 2. I know the section I cut it in though! Was hoping to find another 2 but this feels really clean. Congrats on the record Meowlong, and thanks for an awesomely challenging level KJS!
If I ever reach the finish, I'll update this review, but I can already say that this level is beyond spectacular! I've spent a lot of time on it; enough to find a lot of fascinating ideas and run into a lot of fearsome barriers. I feel like I'm so close to having what I expect to be the second-to-last phase completed, but there's not quite enough space to maneuver, so probably something else I've done is wrong...
Anyway, congratulations on this astonishing work of art! I hope to beat it so I can fully appreciate it.
23.01.10 Finally reached the finish! In 1291 steps, but optimizing it will have to wait for another day. You're a genius, and I'm in awe of this level. 23.01.11 Now 1135... 1049... 23.01.12 1025 23.01.13 1007
