Great looking levels throughout!

I attach my replay for "wrong-Side Failure".

This and "All in Good Timing" are great "old skool" aesthetic levels.

[NieSch]

Yeah, nice work everyone!

Attached is a backroute for Nessy's "Built To Rule The World" (V1):

[Crane]

Got a solution for "High Five".  I like how that comes together, and thank goodness for NeoLemmix and its ability to replay and all!

"One thing at a time" is unique, I have to say, and DEFINITELY requires NeoLemmix and its frame stepping!

[Crane]

My solution to "All in Good Timing".

[Armani]

So many nice levels in the contest!

I attached replays for some rule1 level.

I might have backrouted everything except for NieSch's Symmetry for the Devil.

And you found the exactly intended solution. Well done

[JRT]

Ahhh, what a beautiful backroute to my MC Escher one!

I'll submit a V2 blocking that one off later today.

[NieSch]

My solution to "All in Good Timing".

Nice backroute! I'll make an update.

[JRT]

@Crane, Nice job solving OTAAT fast. I should study the maths behind this and see how much we can do with this taxon of level. I've already begun constructing OTAAT2 for a level pack which will be considerably larger.

[Crane]

Glad to help with backroutes and solving!  In the meantime, here's my solution to Symmetry for the Devil.

[NieSch]

I might have backrouted everything except for NieSch's Symmetry for the Devil.

Glad to help with backroutes and solving!  In the meantime, here's my solution to Symmetry for the Devil.

Well done! That's the intended solution.

[IchoTolot]

@Armani

Even though my R1 and R3 are a bit open ended, it's still not that open.

A bit of steel in the middle should put an end to your backroute though.

Anyway, I will record my attempts and solutions to the levels over the next days.

[Crane]

Backroute alert!

[DireKrow]

Very close to the intended solution for Traipsing About Tombs, actually! I've made a minor adjustment to try and force the use of the basher and/or shimmier you had spare, but overall the details that were different are acceptable alternatives.
