Lix LemForum, feedback by Forestidia86

[Forestidia86]

I'v solved "Bashing&Building", "The Hotel in Hell" and "Won't Get Fooled Again".

 To "Bashing&Building"

Simon told me that it uses a special trick that seems obvious in hindsight (but not the trick itself of course). I think I've known this one before for flexible level management. The end part seemed very tight timingwise.

 To "The Hotel in Hell"

I saw my rough way of solution relatively fast but it failed at first barely timingwise since I hadn't thought of one step in the organization of the solution.

 To "Won't Get Fooled Again"

I think I found the main trick of the level by accident in one of my attempts. Nice design job with the fake exit/hatch. I've attached two very similiar solutions; one goes for getting the trick naturally, one forces the situation for the trick.

I've solved "We're in This One Together".

Spoiler

It's a level where you have to put quite some things together although the level design guides you a bit.

[Simon]

We're in This One Together: Backroute-ish but it gets some main ideas.

geoo/Steve: Is Forestidia's solution possible in the original Lemmix map? No, it isn't possible in the original Cheapo map. Fix with steel, earmarked for next release because the Cheapo WeTogether had steel here.

Attached a solution to "We're in This One Together" in the version of this post.

[Simon]

Very close to intended. Still misses the hallmark feature of the solution, but I don't see how to force it any further without making harder the intended solution.

-- Simon

[Forestidia86]

I've solved "The Lix Lies Down on Broadway". Not sure if it's intended since skills left and saved all in a lose-1 level.

Spoiler

I used a very particular trick to be able to use only two stairs to turn the crowd.

[Simon]

LiesBroadway: Your solution is a backroute, but it's a beautiful backroute, worthy of making a standalone level from this.

I have no idea how to prevent this. The technique to bypass the final blocker is new to me and looks surprisingly universal.

[Forestidia86]

I have solved "From the Other Side".

Spoiler

My solution is rather peculiar and extremely precise. But I think I made it myself harder than I had to.

Edit: Attached another but similiar solution that requires less precision.

[Forestidia86]

I've solved No More Heroes.

Spoiler

It has a tight timing but is compared to the other levels in this rank not that hard. You get many hints by the level design. One funny aspect is that I thought I tightly missed in my successful attempt then realizing that I can lose one lix more.

[Forestidia86]

I've solved Behind Bars.

Spoiler

It was quite tough getting everything together. Some ideas only failed by a tiny bit. I had a severe thinking error at some point which costed me a good chunk of time.

[Forestidia86]

I've solved "You Only Get One Bash at It!"

Spoiler

My solution is extremely precise and finicky. Not sure if that's intended that way.

[Simon]

<SimonN> Forestidia: wow, no, backroute. Amazing that it works though.
<Forestidia> I guessed so. Thanks for checking.
<Forestidia> It's extremely precise to make it work.
<SimonN> Yeah. It looks slick but it must be super nasty
<Forestidia> Absolutely.

OnlyOneBash, Idea for Proxima on how to fix

More steel to the right of the steel below the starting platform? Does this remove too many red herrings?

Alternatively, put holes into (the earth to the right of (the steel under the starting platform)) to stop the basher?

-- Simon

[Forestidia86]

I've solved Devil's Right Hand.

Spoiler

If intended it was not that bad since it was generally hinted at the very rough steps by the skillset and terrain although there are many variants left to try still.

[Simon]

Forestidia and I solved Rhapsody in Blue.

14:50 <Proxima> nice job
14:51 <Forestidia> thanks
14:53 <Proxima> It's exactly as intended.

-- Simon

[Forestidia86]

I've solved "One Step Off".

Spoiler

Basically a one (and a half) trick level with the main trick used twice (the title even helps a bit). Maybe even rather Vicious worthy since the trick is not that extravagant.
