Cheers! That was a tricky one, @Crane! As with all your levels, it really gets the old grey matter working :P Neat design again!

I have a solution for Outside the Box Part 2 as well.


Crane

That was a backroute actually!  Updated the level, and keeping with the original contest rules, updated "Outside the box" part 1 too (although it doesn't change your solution on that one).

Weirdly, that update did break my old replay for Part 1, but I was able to execute it the same way and provide a new replay (attached).

I suspected Part 2 would be a backroute - I didn't see that being your intended solution! I'll look at it again when I have time - solving the 'Denial' level you sent me probably took me the best part of two hours lol

JawaJuice

OK, no doubt another backroute as it features the old basher/blocker trick again at the end. I see what you mean now about this potentially breaking so many levels - from a player's POV though, it's like a two-skill super power!


Crane

Indeed that is a backroute, but I think in this case it's patchable.  Updated the "Outside the box" pair.  Hmmm, I'm starting to wonder if I should rename one version to "Inside the box" just for a change!

JawaJuice

Well, in that case, I'm afraid Outside the Box Part 2 has got me beat. Much like The Oubliette, I just can't see what you want the player to do with this one. I'll be interested to see if someone else can do it!

Crane

Think outside the box... *grins*

I've been having a look at some of these: as usual Crane's levels are visually enticing and deceptively difficult! Some of them I feel like I'm close but others I feel utterly lost. I'll be sure to post if I solve anything.

I'm glad they're those two things... visually enticing and deceptively difficult are good things!  Good luck, have fun!
