Edit: tried this level again a year later. It’s still excellent - the initial idea needed to find the optimal solution is really clever and well-executed here. I think my initial review was a bit of an overreaction, but this is still a great level. :) Wish the last two weren’t necessary to cut though, I feel like the true path feels better without the cut.
Fantastic level. I had a feeling where to look for the cut - so I was lucky in solving it faster than other high quality levels. However, this still meets the bar for one of the best made in a while!
