It was a 2 episodes story for me on this level. First finding the exit, but I was far away. Then optimizing, but I got 2 off and was stuck a long time. Earlier I finally cut the 2 steps. Glad me. I don't know what was my 2 steps saver. I believe it wasn't a route variation, but just a block I pushed for nothing since I could take it with me on my way back later. Not sure though.

Uncertainty

I can't believe that I achieved this one within less than 15 tries, knowing what I was doing and understanding my 2 steps saver... Could it be that I start being able to rely on my pipelining experience? LOL

Capture the Flag

I struggle massively on this one. Seems I don't have the right idea as I can't get closer than 149 for now. I'm not sure if I'm looking for a massive cut bringing me at least 10 steps closer, or if I'm in a case of eating 2 steps by 2 steps. Very challenging. ** few hours later, back to it...** ... and down to 143... :D

Fifty Five

I always have fun at such levels, that need first to build up a route and then to optimize.

I was lucky to solve it rapidly. Enjoyable little level. It's funny how certain block(s) can fool us just because of their type... LOL

Strutter

I struggle to start at that types of levels, lacking the motivation. I tried once , landed 2 off, saw the comments... Bye for now LOL ** 1 year later ** Came back to it today and got it. I found the solution just by trying different things, up to testing counter intuitive routes: one of them worked. It fooled me a long time. For me, a case of "seems longer, is shorter". Half a star removed because I believe a resizing of the board would be nice.

Gardener

I was lucky to be rapid at this one, straight 4 off and a few tries later 2 off. Then, I struggled for a while until I understood that I can't save anything anymore on the left side and at the top right section, so I focused on trying to start differently... and that's where my 2 steps saver was hidden! LOL Side note: the left side allows for two slightly different solutions. :D

The Map

After a long time away from that board, I came back to it now and got it within a few tries. The star less is because a big part of the board is for nothing. A resizing combined with a true visual symmetry would be nice.

Artifice

Funny one! The ordering is intuitive enough, however, the optimization needs a bit work.

Small Room of Doom

It's the second time these days that a board I solved needs to intricate the blocks a lot to get the 2 steps saver. Usually, when I try to intricate like that, I lose steps because I "overcomplicate" things. Here, overcomplicating is the trick LOL
