@Armani

R3: Oh, you sneak :( It's definitely difficult to backroute fix from the likes of you. For V3, I've shifted the far left rope trap over to the right slightly, as well as replaced one of the rope traps with a fire trap. Solution will likely become more obvious now, but probably more precise than I wanted it to be at the same time :P

@Armani - this is quite a nice solution but still avoids some of the things I ideally would like to see in a solution, so will probably be updating the level a little more.

@Armani

One solution is exactly intended and the other an acceptable alternative. Good job! :thumbsup:

Sadly to remove that precision on that one assignment I need to place additional tiles - so that is reserved for after the contest.

@Armani Still not quite. Your solution misses a few of the things I wanted you to do, and as a whole, it stems from a dumb oversight on my part. :forehead:

V4 is out now. I shifted and swapped some terrain around, and I removed one of the Climbers. My original intended solution used both, but I now realize that from V1, the second Climber is completely unnecessary, and there's no good way to enforce its usage without drastically modifying the level or adding an unnecessarily strict time limit. So it's gone! This was a much less easy fix than V2, let me tell you. :P

@Armani That is much closer to the intended solution, and a clever solve. I was very tempted to keep this but it feels just far enough away that I have updated things again :evil:. I think this update makes things a bit harder so am thinking about dropping save requirement down to 54 + adding talisman for 55, will think about this.

Potential spoiler on intended solution (but pretty vague)

Well, the update made the level a bit harder but now I have more leftover skill :evil:

@Armani

R3: Getting closer but not quite there yet, as you correctly guessed. For V4, I shifted the pi symbol over, as well as the trapdoor that's to the right of the flamethrower over some more, although the main source of the backroute was the pi symbol. I still don't have a hopeful feeling that this will finally enforce what I have in mind, but let's see. You're not that far off from the intended route, though.

Thanks so much for the compliment on this level! :thumbsup: Definitely requires far more thought on the route to take, but certainly nothing you can't handle. Thanks also for the replays and your perseverance through the multiple updates! :laugh:

@Armani thanks for resolving multiple times - your solve is incredibly close to the solution I found and is certainly an acceptable variation - great solve :thumbsup:!

@Armani Second replay is indeed intended. Apparently I didn't test every possible pixel to assign the Builder on. V5 is out and should hopefully enforce all the tricks I want. :evil:

The pi symbol seems still problematic.

Your solution to my rule 3 wasn't exactly intended. I've updated my level to V2.
