This one had been sitting at completed, but not solved for quite a while. Decided to look at some annealer levels today, and managed to find the right cuts. There’s actually quite a few options available in the later part of the level, and it’s important to choose the right one to allow success. Not necessarily easy to find, though.
Great level - I actually had a lot more trouble with the optimization here than I normally expect from an annealer level, which means there’s a surprisingly large number of options. Regardless, very tough to solve and optimize, but quite enjoyable.
Very neat level - this aspect ratio produces a kind of annealer like logic that feels distinct both from the tall skinny levels, and from the ones closer to square. Quite nice to solve.
Very nice level - has the feel of a “vintage” step count record, before annealers really took off, and is great fun to solve.
Very cute level. Nice design and a pleasant solution.
Incredible level, it's amazing ******************************************************************** Unfortunately some carelessness led to a 4-off on my first touch, but it seems like there are no optimizations in this level that are difficult to see, so I was able to resolve it relatively quickly.
Very cool level. Felt impossible for a little while to even reach the end, but eventually I found the way. No optimization needed, which is always a treat. :)
Very nice 2-off. Not intuitive at all to untangle, took me a bit of thought. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************
Edit, a year later: cute level - originally 4 stars. The solution is pretty intuitive, but involves some nice block storage ideas. Fun to solve.
Great level - surprisingly tough to untangle, but quite fun.
