Had to leave a review on this classic so more people will see it. The maneuvering required to obtain the solution is extremely bizarre for a level of this size. On top of that, it's got a clean design and a cute theme with the L-shaped block arrangements.

Level #55: Spaceship

Maybe 3 stars is a little harsh, but I think there is a lot to be desired in this design. The bulk of the level doesn't serve too much of a purpose, it's mostly just a couple of simple shortcuts with added combinatorial options for confusion. While I think it is an okay test of macro path analysis, I think most people just feel around until they get lucky and don't quite understand why the solution is any shorter. At least it looks like a spaceship.

This is a particularly interesting level because newbies will eventually feel their way to a solution, but it's got enough layers that newbies may not understand the lessons to be learned immediately. It gives them a taste for more modern designs and the expectations of some harder puzzles.

Refine

Very tricky, there are a lot of cuts scattered throughout the level that require iterating through.

Tin Man

What makes this level so tough is that the solutions are usually the most aggressive cuts, but here you need to hold back a little bit, which interestingly could make the solution much trickier. This is a great test of a player's ability to analyze step counts.

Higgs Boson

I think this is objectively the best possible 4x4 classic level you can make.

All Locked Up

Never got around to reviewing this before, but when I first beat this level, it was one of the most baffling solutions, as it was the very last possibility I considered. Upon analysis, it began to make perfect sense, but it's shocking how cleanly executed the concept is.
