It's quite a fun level to play around with for a while, but I don't think I'll be attempting to tweak this one to the max.

It is already becoming ubertweaky to get a solution to work, while trying to cut costs.
I think this one will end up a little like that random B league level of mine. Most players will get a half decent solution and that will be enough.

I'm just thinking aloud though. I could easily change my mind. I do that.

I am getting a bit frustrated with this one, all a bit tweaky and I still have level failed before the green and grey Dillo have settled. And yes before you ask I am using the "fixed" version.

It's possible to complete "fixed" version, but YES it's not so easy and "level failed" can appear if you are doing something "wrong".

Yes mark, it is very tweaky. Too tweaky really. I also suffered from the level failing if the dillos go too low. However, it is definitely solveable.

I came up with a reasonable solution after about an hour of play, but tweaking it proved to be very time consuming. I tweaked $50 off my first solution but that will be all. It took 10 seconds to work out the tweak, and 2 hours to actually make everything fall just right to work. I believe if I try and tweak a little more, it will take another two hours to make it randomly fall correctly.

Nevermind. We can't find new things without experimentation but over and over again I see the simplest levels to solve are always the most popular. It seems the perfect level is stupidly simple to solve but with enough complexity to allow hours of tweaking. Anything random should be avoided like the plague.

I'm about to send my final solution for this level. Good luck all.

Yup this one is a bugger, but I finally got there. I do prefer levels that don't have quite so much guess work and luck involved and are more down to ingenuity rather than luck and patience. I would rather be able to calculate a solution and then be able to do it without the need to tweak for hours something that is fairly simple just to force it to work. It makes a nice change to have the odd random level but not too often :) .
