ok , here is the backroute replay for version 16 of High Rise Hijinks

It is so fiddly to do what you do Eric. I'm amazed at your persistence to keep making it work.

ericderkovits · February 23, 2021, 02:39:01 AM

ok, here is the replay for v17, the solution is just so fiddlly, most people can't get it to work anyways, as you admit. So maybe just accept the backroute. Or take Icho's advice and change up the intended solution.

I think you misunderstood. I have seen the intended solution, and it isn't fiddly at all. It's your backroute that Crane referred to as "fiddly".

@kaywhyn
You found the intended solution! well done

ericderkovits · February 23, 2021, 04:32:58 AM

ok, I found another solution to High Rise Hijinks V17. Used all the skills this time. Might still be a backroute since its not to far away from the backroute that uses all but the bomber skill.

ericderkovits · February 23, 2021, 04:56:24 AM

ok, I solved Armani's Rule 1 Version 2 and Dullstar's Rule 1 Version 3 levels

Crane · February 23, 2021, 06:00:51 AM

Managed to solve Bubble Trouble at long last!

kaywhyn · February 23, 2021, 06:09:53 AM

@Crane Nice find, but a backroute unfortunately. You got one of the tricks I intended, but it misses a couple of others, as well as doesn't use some of the level. Easy enough to fix, though. I have added steel above the sucker trap platform

Crane · February 23, 2021, 07:08:50 AM

Solved "A Rock and a Hard Place" and got a 100% solution for "Take A Hike".

Crane · February 23, 2021, 07:53:50 AM

This feels more intended for Bubble Trouble.

kaywhyn · February 23, 2021, 08:49:39 AM

@Crane That is 100% intended. Nice job!

Spoiler

Your previous solution missed the other two tricks I intended, which were cancelling a digger with a blocker, as well as using a blocker to turn a digger around. You got the backwards miner to make a wall climber correct. I think this last trick with the miner is the main reason why everyone's telling me that my R1 is hard because they haven't thought about doing that.

ok solved Nessy's most current version of Rock and a Hardplace.

ericderkovits · February 23, 2021, 04:23:46 PM

I just noticed in the Update topic that Niesch has a Version 2 of his Take a Hike, but the updated level isn't in the pack according to the packs version list; still indicates it at
Version 1. So I think it got missed.

IchoTolot · February 23, 2021, 08:53:33 PM

Got it included now.

I want to take this oportunity to sate again that the contest pack I am trying to maintain here is not a seal of approval for levels or a 100% nessesary part for the contest. Let's say I could just post the V1 of all levels in the first post here and then just let the update topic do its job.

The pack is more of an optional offer by me to make it easy for players to get a copy of all levels in a roughly up-to-date version. I will try to maintain the pack and include updates that were posted in the update topic, but there is no guarantee that I will see/get everything right here or that I personally have time to update the pack in the same day.
As a result, if you want to have the most up-to-date version of the level be sure to double-check the update topic.

The pack is not mandatory for the contest at all and no official seal for up-to-date! It is still an optional offer, so be careful.
