Finally a shove level that incorporates this. I've been trying a certain thing on so many shoves and it doesn't help, but it finally paid off here!
More stars then the solution probably warrants because i'm very happy this idea was used.
Realized I never reviewed this when I solved it.
This took me a long time to get under 389. my path was so convincing and i just didnt see any areas to cut steps. I finally found a cut and stalled out at 385 but everything felt too loose and then hours after the solve at 385 finally found how to tighten things up.
A really nasty level. Its super busy and difficult to construct a feasible path, not to mention trying to create "the best" path.
