Contests / Re: Level of the Year 2023: Playing Phase
« Last post by kaywhyn on Today at 11:45:36 AM »Finally got around to updating my level Fun Teleportation Race in Space to fix a backroute thanks to Simon. I also found a backroute of my own to the level
- Moved and removed some terrain to create another gap
- Reduced the Lemming count from 10 to 9 and as a result -1 to the save requirement, meaning it got reduced from 9 to 8.
I've attached the updated level here and also the intended solutions to my levels! These can be added to the replay collection if you wish. For this level, it's the second replay attached. The intended solution is the same, but just needed a minor replay tweak due to the reduced Lemming count.
I have solved all of the LOTY2023 collection pack and have attached my replay collection. LemFan's was the only level I haven't played, while kieran millar's Final Resting Place needed a resolve since he updated the level from last year when he decided to fix my backroute. Finally, Turrican's CyberLem 2555 needed a minor replay tweak, which I'm guessing there were some terrain adjustments which therefore caused some skill assignments to be in the wrong places.
For LemFan's level, this was quite a difficult level! I thought it would be a quick solve, but nope. It ended up being several short solving sessions over a period of a week or so before I finally succeeded. Not only are there a lot of red herrings, there's also one crucial solution element that if you don't realize it you will be stuck.
It's a good level; however, I criticize the extreme and unnecessary precision in several places, as well as the tight timing needed. For example,
Anyway, I'll try and get LOTY2023 videos up in the coming days!
