Level B

Save Me
I loved it! It has all tricks I like, lot of cuts, lot of thinking necessary (for "average" players like me), back and forth, locks in all direction, fake options,... And the most important to me: I did not had to deal with a 2 off! Tears in my eyes.... ;-) *** 8 years later *** I keep enjoying working on this level. I first had no exit due to no way back. Then I found a way to go back and reach target 102 off! Then I cut straight down to 22 off, then 8 off and down up to winning... Yeah! Such fun!
Took me well over an hour to find manti's 274. Very nice path, I hope it's optimal. I see my Barrricuda was quite lovable. :)) This level is a very good puzzle and good looking, too! :) P. S. I believe it could be done in two (or more) ways, in ''the same manner'', depending on the choice of starting. Haven't tried though, but seems very plausible, according to my solution. It does not make it any worse, though, IMO. It's a ''mirror thing'', I guess.

Meh lock
Feels like a really nice tutorial level. Covers a couple concepts and structures sequentially.
The solution is bad but it shows a few easy tricks for lock patterns
I don't have a 2 off though. This is good to teach newer players to plan ahead though.
Some fun structures, and it's not a bad level per se, but something feels missing to make it all cohesive.

Meh lock
This has a very deceiving two off. :))

** 11 years ago** I have needed 891 tries until I found it. Don't give up. If it can help a bit for those stuck on it, 2 hints: 1) Generally, the straight way is not necessarily the shortest. 2) The level is to be solved in the lower part. ** 11 years later ** I was very fast at re-winning it. It was crazy! My fingers were like possessed and redid the way in automatic mode, without me having any control on that. I suppose that I had so much worked on it at the time, that somewhere in my brain, the routine was saved and respawn spontaneously! LOL On a side note, the two hints I gave 11 years ago still apply.
