Oh god how the hell did i miss that for so long. Good job FB.
**2022 resolve** apparently saw it much quicker the second time around roughly 14 years later. 8 tries
The last few flashback levels have been tough for me. This one hit that fun sweet spot (maybe because the route is more obvious and this is all optimization?) either way this was a needed confidence booster and I enjoyed it a lot!
After replaying this I think my 312 review was a bit unfair (path was mostly the same between the two versions with some little changes and I thought this one was more obvious), so I bumped this up 3-> 4.5. This is still tricky but i like the other version slightly more because the top center section has a lot of block entanglement. I do think the two levels play similarly since the left and right are built the same so solving one does eat into the nuance of the other a bit.
This took me a while. First I severely overcomplicated the route, then I under complicated it. Finally found a nice middle ground and caught the 2 off and finally solved it a few more attempts after that. Really hits a pleasant tricky middle ground for me.
Ugly looking level but very tough for the stepcount. Reminds me a lot of duke’s Holelocks3 level where we need to play the fill/move/ignore game with holes.
