  5. Finally got the level with 3 blocks above each other...

    The trick is to lock 2 blocks in the down "detour"

    in the end I ended up with:

    Up - Down

    {Empty}
    Block on Target
    {Empty}
    {Empty}
    Block
    Block on Target
    {Empty}

  6. This is crazy hard.
    As you can see by the answers above.
    "Z" is your best friend here.
    The problem is they go all the way.

  8. Took me two days to get next to last puzzle (not sure about level #s, so I'll just say top-middle of gameboard). Most of the others were no piece of cake either. But overall very good puzzling. My problem is the one I often have with challenging Puzzlescripts with no level select menu, that is I'm deep into the game and terrified of losing my game-save progress. With normal, separate levels, you can go to the game's hack page and CTRL-click on any puzzle to play it. Here it was all one big level. Clever but a little unnerving. Kudos once more to Le Slo.

  9. @long peter i found a different way for 6. the method starts by putting two in the bottom, A above B. pull A left, bring B up, then push A back right. Then all that remains is to walk above B and then pull it all the way to the top. It's a bit odd because the third block doesn't do anything but get in the way, so I'm not sure if this is an intentional solution.

    There any walkthroughs anywhere for this thing? Oh... of course not... there are never walkthroughs for puzzlescripts! Sigh!

  12. The only easy part is right at the end when you get back to where you started, but I finished without asking for help, which might be a first for Le Slo puzzles. This is great! ... Please don't ask me to remember how I solved most of them.
