Funky, started with a route that was way off, and couldn’t see how to improve it. Took a little bit of looking until I found the correct route. Very logical path, though.
Finally beat this, 15 years later. Still can't believe it was intended to be a tutorial level. The design is all over the place but the puzzle content is fantastic.
Guys, you will hate me... I got it on first try... I just watched the board and one section got my attention because it looked like it's intended for something. I went straight for that and it was it. Pure luck.
Look, a nearly winning solution is not obvious from the start. Any new player is going to try every single combination, and since there are too many possible in this level, he would probably give up by then. It is too hard for a tutorial.
