[IchoTolot]

Here are my solutions of your levels.

Ah yes, thank you!    You really helped me with the testing through your solutions! Could cut 2 skills in the first R1 level and you found a very creative alternative solution in the R2 one.

I even included your R2 solution in my showcase video! (currently uploading)

[IchoTolot]

The videos are up!

Rule 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6XwoBEBY5Q
Rule 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PXc4MB4x7A
Rule 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_M-hKY-cXM0

My own levels if you want to see the intended solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYu2awdzE6I

I also attached my replays to this post!

Really high level quality here, great job to the designers!      Currently I found it overall a bit easier, but maybe this can change if I found a ton of horrible backroutes

Included Crane's new music track in the music zip link + I attached an updated replay to the V3 of the level.

Bah you - I thought about putting in the shorter time limit on V3, but decided against it because the shape of the terrain would stop your dig/walker trick! Evidently you had other ideas!

Can't match my speed! Resolved! Maybe the dig + fence would also work here.

And with the V5 solving I will take a little break, it's your turn for now! I leave some backroutes to find for the others.

My rule 2 level was a back route, Rule 3 was spot on.

Glad you enjoyed my levels IchoTolot

Guardians Of The Hero's Shrine: Your first solution was a backroute but I love your second solution. I want to try one more time to enforce my solution but if all else fails your solution will be an excellent "alternate"

Journey: This is a backroute unfortunately, but an easy fix. Also, good feedback on the pick-up skills. My updated version should fix this and increase the entropy a little bit more.

Just want to say: My "awesome" solution seems to fail now, but the backroute replay is still 100% functional, I did not even change a thing.

Here is the whole bunch resolved in it's current form -- note that from Nessy's R1 level the Version 2 level is Undetermined, so that he may exactly exam which of my solutions still work.

And I smell another big backroute again on Arty's R2 level.

[Flopsy]

My Rule 2 solution is close enough to intended, you only did it in a more complicated way which is fine

Here are my solutions of levels by Colorful Arty.

Icho:

thanks for another backroute; keep them coming! Ironically, you could have been more efficient and saved a destructive skill on that backroute. More one-way arrows seal that one up good though.

Excellent solution to my Rule 3 level! You're the only one who's been able to save an extra Lemming and use both cloners in meaningful ways! Probably better than my solution!

However, your Rule 2 solution has already been patched out thanks to IchoTolot. I'd give the level another go if I were you, but it's your choice.

[IchoTolot]

Resolved Nessy's levels.

[IchoTolot]

And here are new solutions to Crane's levels.
