The box at the beginning is annoying to optimize. This isn't a final record. *Edit* done for now. I don't really see any more major cuts in this.
*2022 edit* I cannot believe this level still has cuts in it. I thought it was close to optimal at 1288 years ago and alazeh and YFKD cut 2 off each from there. Never imagined I'd find another 4 trying to catch up to the 1284.....
Great picture. If there was one level I wanted to hold a record on, this would be it. Re-completed, but record stolen =[
2022 Update: just real sleek pipelining in one particular area. was 6 short on my first re-try and needed to realize I was just being real lazy with setup in one area. 5 stars for the pic and a 2 star deduction for making it so long.
Realizing that there are 2 entirely different paths to 295 by comparing my testing notebook to available source material out there and finding it pretty wild one isn’t better then the other.
My First try: WEEEE down the slide I go! AHH IM BLOCKED
My second try: Lets be more careful with the slide! AHHH a wall!
My third try: screw the slide i'm walking
Probably would have spent more time here if I didn't happen to find my old Pathos testing notebook while cleaning very recently. I only had 301 there, but a bunch of different routes eliminated as not possible in any combination so I was able to eliminate a bunch of spinney possibilities to find the 297 a bit faster.
