Also, if you noticed, Soft 1 is a 1-of-everything level with just the 8 classic skills, while Soft 2 is a 1-of-everything level using only NL skills except for the jumper, which will be introduced in the third rank. It's also the very first one in the pack that makes use of the full 10 skill panel. I guess one thing I forgot to point out is my experience playing levels with a full 10 skill panel. I say the difficulty varies depending on the level, like most things, but the fact that you can have 2 extra skills can definitely up the difficulty considerably.
Nice to see a lot of takers on the LOA pack already. Your choice of releasing the pack on the weekend was wise indeed, Strato!
Not to mention the 2 years in the making and the build up of anticipation leading up to the release
Just a word of advice to the players, and that is you don't have to, but I generally only post replays after I get through an entire rank. After what took several hours to write the entire feedback for Strato's other pack Paralems, I'm definitely not doing that again, finishing an entire pack first and then posting replays/very detailed feedback on almost every single level. Instead, depending on how long each rank is, I will either post all my replays after I finish a rank or when I get to the halfway point. Or, more rarely, whenever I feel like it, which is what I think most players do anyway
And remember, if you get stuck, feel free to ask Strato or anyone who has passed the level for a hint(s), and we'll do what we can to help
