Level records

[Conway]

Ahribar: Yeah, I noticed that too.

  Isu: Very clever! I've just passed it. Clever, but cheap.  

[Isu]

But you're simply wrong. First time I tried, I hit fast-forward, didn't touch anything else, saved 10.

What? That shouldn't be allowed. I thought I'd prevented that from happening. =8O

UPDATE

Now, that will not happen. In case you don't see what I did, I extended the platform and moved the exit further up.

[Conway]

Sorry, FF still saves 10!

[Isu]

What!
How?

Even when I toggle FF as soon as the level fades in, I only save 4 :: O_o X_X

Note: Sorry about the overuse of smilies here, I need to express my extreme confusion over this somehow...

[Conway]

I think I've figured it out. Do you have 'faster screen fade' checked in the options? I've just checked that option, and with it on, you can only save 4 in FF mode. With 'faster screen fade' off, you can save 10.

[Isu]

Ahh, I see. I never thought that an option could affect whether a backroute was possible or not. I might post an update later.

[Conway]

Just for the sake of it, I thought I'd try to beat the record of shortest level. It's called One Small Step, and it's 12 seconds long. Here it is: >Download!<

[Isu]

Nice, but I think Insane Steve already made a 12 second level.

I just had a thought; wouldn't it be cool if I could put the shortest levels from all of the authors into a cheapo set? If you would like your level included you would need to e-mail me(Look in me profile). It would be quite a cool set if it ever got off the ground...

Whaddya think? Should I go for it?

[Conway]

You can use it, sure! A set of very short levels from all authors sounds like a good idea.

  I was also considering compiling a set of the longest levels.

[Proxima]

If you do, make sure to edit Steaver's "Absolute Ultimate Challenge" to require 100% -- it's hardly the ultimate challenge otherwise!

[chaos_defrost]

I have a 12 second level, but not only is it not refined, it also isn't quite as good as Conway's level. Haven't released it yet.

I'll submit a short level for the set. Right now, I think "Super Happy Fun Panic Level" is the lowest time level I've made yet, but I'll design something shorter for this set if it is made.

[Proxima]

Nice level, Conway. I beat it with 3 out of 5, but that was using FF. Is it even possible without?

If we are having a set of short levels, I'll contribute both of mine; I want to remake them in my new style, though, so don't take the versions I've already published.

[Isu]

Right, I'll get started on it then. I'll need Insane Steve's and Ahribar's*.lvl files if they wish to contribute. E-mail is preferred, although I guess I could live with YIM, or even PM, if you're that desperate.

[chaos_defrost]

You know how, sometimes, you're making a level for one purpose and instead wind up making something completely different? Well, I was trying to re-do my 12 second level, and after a while, instead made a 40 second level that I think is pretty clever, both design-wise and puzzle-wise.

LEVEL GET

Requires "PinkLemmus.sty" to play.  

[Proxima]

OK, here are my submissions for the Very Short Levels set.
