Edit, two years later: actually a pretty nice level! Pretty close false route, and the true route is very nicely set up but still a bit hidden. Had fun with this one.

Very Fun Level

Edit, two years later: I more or less stand by the sentiment in my original review, that the sections are kinda cute, but that it hurts to look at. You could've accomplished the same thing with a less vertical form factor.

woop

Edit, two years later: apparently when I first solved this it was a junior high, but it's now been demoted to elementary, which definitely seems much better. This level is rather bland; there's not a whole lot to it and it doesn't seem like there's anything to learn from it.

Highway Overpass

Edit, two years later: cute level! Solving it now it seems difficult to mess up, but there's definitely a few ways that one could lose here, and it's a really good instructive level for how to be efficient with your movement.

Tight like a Taipan

Edit, two years later: this is a lovely level. Actually still had a bit of a challenge now re-solving it, and the solution is quite lovely. This is quite a nice level packed into such a small size.

Something

Edit, two years later: not a super big fan of this one, honestly. There's only really two routes, and one of them pretty obviously can't be optimized. The other one has a few potential optimizations, but is pretty straightforward.

Slightly Harder Trick

Edit, a couple years later: I'm honestly not really sure where the trick is here. Perhaps that's just because I've improved as a player since the first time I solved this. The solution is pretty nice, even though it felt rather intuitive.

Stuck

Edit, a couple years later: cute trick, but it feels like the trick is the only real substance this level has to it. The 2-off is cute, but it doesn't seem like there's much room for any interesting tactics here.

Level #47: Tournament

At first I really didn't understand why doing that was faster than the alternative, but thinking about it now it's actually a very clever little optimization. Quite interesting indeed!

Brilliant level. I love how this plays off of a counterintuitive concept in two ways, first with *************************************************************, and second by ***************************************************************************************************** Very lovely, lots of fun!
