I was 2 off for a long while, but I finally got it while toying around thoughtlessly.This was a fun puzzle to work out. I really enjoyed the progression.
Amazing level. Took me 8 tries to re-beat it, as I was doing something completely unnecessary. It seems we no longer have these kind of levels, where you're tricked into performing useless actions that in the end don't reduce the step count.
What a good title, amongst other things. I solved it a long ago (years ago), but did not memorize the solution well. And this time, I was really getting closer and closer with each try. First I was on the right path, but very far away, then I got 6 off, then 4 off, then I realised I was doing something completely unnecessary at the beginning and when I dropped that, I reached the exit on time. Great level.
