Burridan's Lix RHS now solved. Weirdly I thought I'd tried that method earlier, clearly I hadn't!

Did you attach the wrong replay? This is a failed attempt and is dated August.

I suspected the first of those hints, and got 100% built solved off the 2nd hint - at last. That's a trick I don't think I'd have ever spotted otherwise. Ironically, the level referred to was the level in Lovely that I found the most difficult by a considerable margin!

Chasm - I had the right idea after the hints told me to approach it

. Took many rewinds and attempts to

though - a worthy final level for this difficulty I think!

Escape - I think I have seen the trick you all were hinting at, but still a bridge short.

Still stuck on Escape, have started more seriously looking at Hopeless now.

Will post about others later, but thought I'd comment on Bipolar Maniac. Surely this is a backroute, otherwise this should be in Lovely!

Bipolar Maniac: Yes, this is a backroute. This looks fixable by requiring 10/11 instead of 9/10. One can also give a 6th floater then.

You can change the level in the editor. Nepster isn't around; if nobody has a better idea, I'll also earmark this for the next release.

Thanks all, that hint of
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
was all I needed - well, on top of all the others! To be fair, I think I'd have still been there waiting if I hadn't had the hint to
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Had one of those moments where I was counting skills used for 1 method for a different method

.

After all that I still had a bridge to spare too!

So, with all of Vicious done I feel that it's fairly obvious which levels I consider the hardest in there!

For Hopeless, I have solved a few.

Recycling Plant - very original,
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
. I had the idea to
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
but took a lot of different attempts, varying use of the remaining skills to get to a solution. Looks good in fast forward mind!

Empty Space Is Hardly A Waste - solved this before
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
, so I really should have saw the solution to the latter earlier, especially as this level didn't take long at all. Love the simple aesthetic of this one.

Close to the Edge - Got the idea fairly quickly for this one too, but was slowed slightly

. Once I changed that approach it was solved pretty quickly.

The Hotel In Hell - As with Close to the Edge, I was pretty close to the solution pretty quickly, a slight tweak changed me from almost there to there, namely 
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
. Liked the aesthetic of this one again.

Division of Labour - Solved in 2 attempts, honestly didn't think my method would work and just tried it in case it did! Only just mind - in 2 places the timing is very tight.

I've got a feeling I have picked the low hanging fruit so far mind, the other levels I have looked at in Hopeless are nowhere near a solution as yet.

Don't Catch Me If You Can - This is an "easy if you can see it, impossible if you can't" type of level, a nice stalling trick in the end. Nice to see the shadow tribe getting a go at the game too.

Yuki, Muon, Madobe, Nite - I assume this translates as
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
. Assuming my solution is the intended method I like that trick at the start.

Ascending and Descending - Great in scale and I must admit having only 1 basher really stumped me for a bit, but

Back after a while not playing, though I expect progress to be much much slower now I'm on the hardest levels.

I do have one more solved level - Stuff in the Way. I don't know if my solution is the only/intended one, certainly requires a bit of T+I in the timing.

Solution to Stuff in the Way matches in most parts the replay from the collection. At one point the use of two skills is basically swapped but this meets in both solution basically the same ends.
From my perspective an alternative solution but the maintainer would have to decide.
