resolved Clone Survival in the Jungle / EMERGENCY EVACUATION
I know my solution to EMERGENCY EVACUATION is intended and also think my solution to Clone Survival in the Jungle is now very close to intended.

You are correct with the first two tricks, not so with the third one. I almost wanted to accept this solution as an alternative, as it simply uses a few skills in different locations from the intended, but as it's already quite precise, I would like to reduce it for players wherever I can help it. I wanted to avoid doing so for a long time, but alas I caved and went with it. The only changes made with V9 are more pickups. From what you described, it sounds like this level's still really hard despite the presence of a few pickups. So, I think you're in agreement that my R2 is my hardest level out of my other two entries :P

I invested one more basher so the timing things are not needed anymore.

@Armani

This would had been an acceptable solution for me, but as there is one part in the spoiler that's not supposed to happen, as well as another part that isn't quite intended, let's try one more time with V10, where I made the blockers pickups and two of the bashers pickups.

Solved all the R2 levels. Replays attached. Also all links to my LP of the R2 levels

Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ylt1Bzjse2M

Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBim9WFufYM

Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpXzyO1UVC8

Part 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGDcOf6o4YI

Part 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFinZKRSDY8

Part 6: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hazpiJRFKjk

Part 7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asuFDX9owzg

Part 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H69pPKn8q9I


In general, the R2 levels were quite tough. At the same time, finally figuring them out was quite satisfying. In particular I must say KingShadow3's R2 was super satisfying to figure out.

I regret to say that there is a backroute in your solution. :XD:

Uploaded V5 of my Rule 2 level which more steel is added to prevent the  bad backroute found by kaywhyn.

Minor backroute there, just updated my level to version 4 to address it.

Finally! This is 100% intended. Great job :thumbsup:

Finally solved all the R3 levels and hence the entire contest pack. Here are my replays. I have also attached the solutions to my levels just so I don't forget to do so later on in case anyone is interested in the intended solutions to them, with the exception of my R3, which is an open-ended level and hence I don't have any specific solution in mind. Or, you can also watch Part 5 linked below, as I show off the solutions to my levels, along with some possibly interesting facts/explanations which may or may not be of interest to you :laugh:

Also links to all my LP videos of the Rule 3 levels:

Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uteN7jD3YW4

Part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AidkniIhmtE

Part 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zxm900TuNVA

Part 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-PeWc0R9Rc

Part 5 and Solutions to my Contest Levels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BrAJdX4Psk


These levels were also challenging, although maybe not as much as the R2 ones, which I felt were the hardest, possibly including my own, but I still feel it isn't as hard as all the other R2's.

All rightie, I think I will return in about a week to resolve updated levels where my solution is a backroute. I will be very busy in the upcoming week due to the Thanksgiving holiday and hence there won't be as much activity from me during that time, particularly since my brother will be in town and I'll be busy spending time with him that I otherwise won't be able to after this holiday is over. I need a break from these contest levels, anyway. These are all challenging but in a good way! :thumbsup:

Close enough ;)

There're some minor differences between your solution and mine but that's fine. I will attach my first solution to the level rather than explaining the differences one by one.

Yeah I agree that the music to my rule3 level is quite loud. I'm the kind of person who listening to music at high volume while studying, drawing, taking shower, literally anytime. Well I watched part of your video and I figure that the loud music can be annoying to LPers and viewers. :( Probably I've got to pick the music more carefully next time.

Oh wow, nice solution there with the skillset I collected :P Also, I forgot to mention it, but in Part 5 after I showed off my solution to my R3, I want to let you know that I also show off your solution to it, as I really love your solution in how extremely efficient it is in terms of the amount of skills you were able to save :thumbsup:

Hi tan x, thanks so much for letting me know that my solution to your R3 is intended! As usual, I'm very happy to hear that you've been enjoying watching me solve levels and hearing my thoughts on how I go about doing it in real time on camera :thumbsup: I hope that you've enjoyed hearing insights on my own contest levels in the latest LP video as well, even if I kept going off on tangents :laugh: As you might have gathered, I'm still more of a level solver than a level maker :P However, I have not ruled out the possibility of a future level pack of my own ;)
