I feel this might get tight in the end, because this level is of those relatively easy (made a POC in 4 minutes) and hard to max ones. Nice level design, Craspta (Sorry, I find it a real community thing to call you like that :D)

Let's start the bidding with 2100+ :lms:

Btw did you use AREdit for the text, NorthKoreasta? :D

Yeah, I feel proud to bind an entire community and make everybody more united...
Maybe I'll open a new contest based on the most pleasant distortion of my name! :lol:

And yes, of course I used AREdit.....

2222+ :lms: in 10 minutes.

Nice level Crumpets. Back to what an A league should be.

Solution in 10 mins, but hours of tweaking if desired.

That's what I had in mind when I was designing this level!

I invite you to tweak till death, but I beg you not to bet too high with scores for the firts days, to give everyone the possibility to try this level without being frustrated by a monsterscore in the forum...

Thank you

I think all A league levels should be solveable within about 20 minutes maximum.

Personally, when designed an A league level, I like to make two easy to solve problems, followed by a catcher that can be made in many different ways.

That formula works really well for me. Nobody gets frustrated trying to solve it, and having 3 distinct areas to tweak gives just enough tweakability to prevent identical solutions.

B league is the place for levels that are difficult or time consuming to get a POC.

I agree with Vankwish. It is my idea of fun having a level like this one that is easy to solve and then a pleasure to tweak for more and more points. As I still have a vast amount to learn it is this kind of level that will help me advance to be able to more easily solve the B league contests which as Vankwish has said should be much harder.

It's gone quiet.

I'm enjoying this level. Nodes everywhere makes it very tweakable.

How are you all finding it?

The level's pretty good, though I was expecting something spectacular like in the 100th A contest, heh. Still a cool level though.

I got 2224 :lms: , just enough to raise the bid.

EDIT: Make that 2224+ :lms:
EDIT2: And 2400+ :dms:
