Just wanted to make a quick post about a solution I found to bsmith's level that I think might be a backroute. It is attached below.

I also attached my solutions to both updated Lix contest levels:

Updated Power Core again. At least V3 was closer to having the right side solution work entirely as planned... V4 should shut down the trick that's backrouting the left side route and hopefully enforce the right side solution too.

Two solutions to Proxima's v3 attached.

I should meet with Icho in 1-2 weeks and play the NL levels. I have sorely neglected that.



joshescue18: Wow, very precise execution -- but sadly still the old backroute. I thought I had fixed that. v7 makes it much clearer that this should be impossible.

Nessy: This is very close, beautiful idea, I've considered whether I'll let it stand. But I'd rather keep this idea for a separate level, and fix SacredKingdom one more time.

Solved V7 as well, but this just seems like the old known backroute. ;P

Forestidia is very close, similar to Nessy's solution. Over the next days, I'll see whether this has a simple fix. If I don't find any fix, I'll be happy to accept this alternative.

Icho has revived the good old backroute. :8():

I'm going to start calling Icho "Old Reliable" because he's really good at breaking things. By all means, keep it up! ;)
Power Core V5 is ready. I plan to keep tweaking this until it is backroute free.

Only solution 1 broke the other one is still working. Resolved the broken one.

Nice job IchoTolot, you backrouted my level so hard I don't know how to fix it.  That steel block was supposed to stop a backroute, not add one.
My intended solution is similar to the solution by joshescue18 earlier in this thread.
