<John Lewis> This level is awesome...I finally beat it! Hats off to Josh on such a great puzzle...

Skills Training: sphere pushing (200)

<Max> I like how the exit falls asleep at 200 as if bored by your lack of sphere-pushing skills.

<Max> (SPOILER) Cook: Went underneath and bypassed most of the puzzle.

<Max> (SPOILER) Wow, my ctrl-0 solution on this one is 1005 moves... I feel like this has some bothersome implications that are best left alone.

THE 411

<Max> Cool, solved this with a 511-move ctrl-0 haha...

<Max> (SPOILER) I like how if you mess up the first time you get a few more chances ;).

<Max> (SPOILER) This puzzle definitely has an old-school Escape vibe to it, despite the new transponder technology. Man, it's still hard for me to remember that transponders are pushable!

<Tom 7> BTW Brian: Ice floors were a great part of Chip's Challenge and I'd like to have something like them in Escape. (I'm not sure that's possible with the way it's currently implemented, unless only players and bots slide on them.) Why do you think they would or should be hide-able though?

<Mike> yes, i did it in 23, too.
but there was no solution(exept the original) in the list.

now, there are my (untitled) solution and the original. but no speedrun.

if i look on the internet page of escape, there is my name for the speed record *g*

In the end, i'm not sad if it weren't a record, but it is confusing, that it says on the one hand "no record" an on the other Hand "shortest solution by mike"

<Tom 7> (SPOILER) Sweet, ctrl-0 worked for me too, giving me a unfocused 81 move solution.

This level is amusingly cruel and shows off a cute and unexpected bit of hidden information that is possible. Very clever! In fact, I checked, and these tiles are pixel perfect identical with a bot on top of them, so not even the most eagle-eyed players could figure this out with anything but exhaustive search.

I hope people use this for good, not evil. ;)
<bpotetz> OMG - I solved this one using control-0. A beautiful, meandering 121 move solution. Finally my obsessive level playing pays off.

Its a good point that bots can add a little hidden info to the game. But that's alright, because the precedent means its OK to add other potentially hide-able (but otherwise nifty) tiles, like ice floors, which might cause all movable blocks to behave like gold blocks until they hit normal floor again. Could make for interesting semi-sokoban level styles...
