I was stuck 2 off with different routes. I started to try optimizing one of them and lucky me, it was the "right" one allowing me to cut 2 steps. It was enjoyable to solve, but I could have been stuck for ages... pffff... lol
I was faaaaar away, then 232 with two completely different routes. I then cut down to 212. From there I tested all sort of minor variations and with one of them, I won. I can't tell what I did... LOL
I really enjoyed solving this but the end of it was very strange for me: I was stuck at 267 for quite a while, trying different variations, and suddenly, I won... I don't know what I did to be honest. It was like magic! LOL
I had fun solving this level. I had a 2 off. It was a simple case of "seems longer, is shorter" caused by **********************************************************************
I really loved that level! Such a great puzzle. The key for me was to understand straight that ************************************************************************* and later that *************************************************************************************** From there, the route followed logically.
I got it on 3rd try! Can't believe it. I had a first 2 off, then on 2nd try I found a completely different 2 off. On 3rd try, I did repeat the second one to study it a bit but had the enormous surprise to arrive at target in 55 steps. 0-0
I can't tell what I did different. I was just repeating. Where did I cut 2 steps? I will never know. LOL
I can't believe how fast I was at it! Something I noticed was the key to the solution for me: **********************************************************************
