Level 001

<mlc> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 86 moves (old: 90).
slight improvement over my last solution

<mjn> (SPOILER) Ooh, I like the original solution to this. (I'll bet there's a way to uncook it...)

Construct-A-Maze

<Tom 7> Hehe. I am actually glad that this one is frustrating--the solution is ultimately really simple and there is no "trick", but it is still remarkably elusive.

I definitely plan to improve the browsing of comments. I mean, for one thing, you should be able to read comments from inside the game--how stupid is it that you can only post from the game and read from the web? I almost can't believe that we've gotten this far with that weird mode of communication. Also: you can skip through the level list faster by changing the numbers in the URL; in fact if you get the id of the level (use its filename, in this case lev370.esx) you can just jump directly to its entry. But yes, I apologize for the usability problems.
<Doom> And funnily, 2 minutes after saying that I solve the level.
<Doom> Difficulty rating: 4? Give me a break. I've been trying this one for a long time and I'm still making no considerable progress.

Tom, will there ever be a way to browse comments of the old levels? The only way to do that at the moment is "little" tedious and involves clicking a certain 'next page' button maaaany times.

<Tom 7> I was wondering how long it'd be before people started doing this kind of thing. ;) A nice portrait! But there has got to be room for a more interesting level in there, right??

Germany to Germany

<Doom> (SPOILER) Cook: Didn't need to use the yellow block.

Portrait: James Dean

<Doom> I must say that this is the first decent Escape art level I've seen (even if the puzzle is very trivial). I never found that 2-tile level so cool...
<Max> Actually I think the picture is fantastic, especially if you zoom out all the way. But yeah, the puzzle is really trivial!

<Blue Devil> (SPOILER) Cook: Moved a green box right in front of the door.

Morgan Mix 2

<Lukas> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 332 moves (old: 340).
Easy

<Adam> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 116 moves (old: 118).
Optimal.

Golden Blocks and Blue Lamps

<Tom 7> Nice level, Lukas!

Easy Bombs

Wed 01 Feb 2006 16:24

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Surprisingly trickier than the others in the series. I cooked it like Alois did, though.

Trivial

<Blue Devil> (SPOILER) Cook: didn't need to use the panel -- is it a red herring?

Changing Positions

<Tom 7> Nice, although the original seemed more difficult because (if I remember correctly) there wasn't a corridor around the whole thing. Welcome subtlety at the end with the red bricks.

Dalek Base

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 339 moves (old:
345).
You can do a lot with those bombs, but nothing is faster than Henri's technique, that I can find.

Changing Positions

<Doom> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 1089 moves (old:
1359).
A little improvement...
<Doom> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 1359 moves (old:
1567).
No, I don't mind people making different versions of my levels, as long as they're significantly different.

I doubt that this speedrun will stay long either. It's very hard to find anything close to optimal in levels like this.

Easy Bombs

<DR DONKEYDON> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 69 moves (old:
95).
Bombs Away!
