Cool - I like the shortcut. The fact that I was about 10 moves short without the shortcut, kinda gave away the fact that a shortcut was hiding somewhere .... which spoiled it slightly ....
Very sneaky indeed!! I was 4 off and found the lil' sneaky move - went to 2 off. Warning - you can be 2 off and on the totally wrong path like I was !!!
Way too easy in my opinion. Took me 3 attempts .... 1st attempt I made a wrong move and had to re-start, 2nd attempt I was quite a way off - had a re-think and spotted what I needed to do and completed it next attempt. I can see why some may struggle on this though.
I could only see 1 route at first - that was 8 short. It took a bit of working out, but when I worked out a new route - I got it the next attempt - nice level ....
