Level 30 has the first real 'trick', and it's a difficult one to start off with, because it plays on what you've just recently learnt. You need to stop yourself from blindly doing something even though that's the way you were taught to do it earlier - because there's a faster way to get through that structure in this particular scenario. gl

Done 51

Edit: 3 routes on 52, every time 2 off

Psychopath 1's soundtrack is the best thing about it.

Psychopath 2 has a lot of cool puzzles however. It took me a while to get over the hole concept of it though.

**SKG_Scintill** · 10-10-2012, 11:46 AM

Done 52. Seriously, Raszlo is playing mindgames with the amount of steps and the level design
Edit: 53, what is this?

Bahamut-X · 10-10-2012, 06:35 PM

Up to 65. First of Reach's levels

Oh geez, level 66 now. This is the level that had me stuck for weeks back when I first played it, hoping it won't take that long this time

**LongGone** · 10-11-2012, 01:05 AM

Finallyyyyy 61 done, tried something a little different

Breezed through 62

Trying 63 now...

**SK8R43** · 10-11-2012, 08:40 PM

Onto 42.... So far best i can get is 5 off. :P

EDIT: Got it, on to 43. Oh god this looks tough lmao

EDIT AGAIN: Ehh was kinda easy haha

Done for the day, went from 36 to 44 haha

Bahamut-X · 10-11-2012, 09:39 PM

Dang 66 was tough. Was really, really stuck for awhile. Figuring out how to deal with the center is what really got me.

67 wtf, forgive me v2? Haha after forgive me this one was cake.

Lol 67 was never intended to go into the game, I made it mostly to make the longest possible level that was reasonably challenging, but Amelioratio and the other testers actually had a hard time with it, so we decided to throw it in there.

On the same note, Amelio's original path for 66 was like 12 steps behind. I ended up finding the optimal path in 2 tries and didn't even want to include the level, but the rest of the testers, including Amelio, struggled with it so we added it in.

Difficulty. It can be really arbitrary (I was 2 steps off on whiteboy for a long time during testing, as was Amelio. It was Dragon iirc that found the optimal path).

PS after reading through the old thread, you struggled hardcore with 67 last time lol

**awein999** · 10-12-2012, 07:29 AM

I love it when my intuition is wrong.

Edit: way to over think "Small Intestines"

Edit 2: AHHHH lvl 32 messed with my intuition so hard. That was funny.

Edit 3: LEVEL 35 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....that is all.

Edit 4: Temporarily stuck on 36. I'm 4 moves too many. I'll continue again when I really feel like thinking logically rather than intuitively xD

After awhile you start to notice common themes among the levels and what to look for in terms of shortcuts. Lolicon is so similar to forgive me I pretty much knew exactly what to look for. Don't know how the hell I struggled last time. It almost looks like you just opened up forgive me in the editor and changed a few blocks around haha.

EDIT: Ugh I just read through the old thread. **** 13 year old me. So arrogant and childish. Man I was cringing.

Yeah, I know that feel...lol @ myself.

But yeah, I did just open up the editor and move some blocks around in order to make it longer while still having some puzzle elements to it. I never intended it to end up in the game but alas.

I ended up making a level with over 1000 steps, but it was painfully simple with no puzzle elements. Beyond 600 steps or so, I don't think it's really possible to introduce any cognitive elements.

**SKG_Scintill** · 10-12-2012, 05:22 PM

I give up on 53

**Reincarnate** · 10-12-2012, 05:58 PM
