<radiant> (SPOILER) You might want to wait for a few more solvers to give ratings input, but I see the potential for a Crosshairs-style mod here by sticking a red panel on 6,6. Maybe even on 5,5--if it's possible to pull that one off, it's certainly harder than the 6,6 version. |

<radiant> Disregarding the obvious one, it reminds me a lot of "A Long Way Down" (1067). <devin> Lol |
 |
<devin> this level inspired me to do "Don't Step On The Lawn" |
|
|
<John Lewis> Wonder what inspired this one... <radiant> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 731 moves (old: 1173). <devin> 'Don't Step On The Lawn' uploaded by devin: The Neighbors hate you and are trying to get you off their lawn once and for all!!! can you get home before your death? |

<radiant> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 183 moves (old: 185). |
 |
<John Lewis> Moved to graveyard: radiant's mod basically qualifies as a "v2." |
|
|
<John Lewis> Awesome - thank you, radiant!! This is what I was hoping the original level would be. I'll go ahead and delete the old one, as there's really no reason for it to be there anymore. |

<Alois> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 92 moves (old: 104). |

<radiant> 'Keep Off the Grass' uploaded by radiant: I almost didn't put myself in the credits for this level at all. Really it's the remote at 17,1 that allows the timer to work without a hitch here. |

<radiant> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 318 moves (old: 350). <John Lewis> (SPOILER) Yes, I agree - I kept trying to find some sort of mechanism that would prevent this, but sadly, I wasn't able to come up with anything (hence the green/red tiles). |

<radiant> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 350 moves (old: 370). I don't know if it was deliberate or not, but the parity challenge in the level (don't dare step off the rough when the light is red or it keeps eating huge chunks of clock!) seems like an unfortunate side effect in an otherwise solid rationing test. <radiant> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 370 moves (old: 677). With 4 ticks to spare! <John Lewis> 'Keep Off the Rough' uploaded by John Lewis. |

<radiant> I guess the "most stylish" section on levels.shtml could be an indicator of this "inverse minor league" status, except for two things: 1) I doubt that page gets much publicity, or very many hits (even though it's linked on the front page), and 2) there tends to be a high correlation between style and difficulty ratings (which makes sense from a rater's perspective--the longer you spend trying to crack a level, the more time it has to leave an impression in your mind for when you finally figure out the requisite trick), so most of the levels on the style list are on or near the top difficulty list anyway, with Reflections as a notable exception. But if it's used to list high-quality levels, and a new player to the game checks out the list only to find it packed full of 8 and 9 difficulty levels, how long do you expect it'll take before the player quits and uninstalls the game for not being able to figure anything out? What you might want to do is put up a Radar post asking for nomination suggestions so we can come up with a pack of maybe 100 levels, spanning the full range of 2 or 3 on up to 9 on the difficulty scale, that would be worth putting in a new subfolder of Official. |
