first...sorry if this was mentioned before. I seem to always fail to see that one thread that was what I was looking for. If not, well here's my idea. Did anyone ever actually try to complete all of the puzzles? I'm not even sure how many there are, I've never finished them all! I was under the impression that 100 was not the last level. would it be boring of me to try and beat all the puzzles in a TAS?

I'm sure I never got past level 8 or so, so I'm fairly interested to see the entire thing done. Though, if it were me, I'd only do the run if I had some particularly interesting solutions to the puzzles, which couldn't be found in a faq/walkthrough... which assumes that there are multiple solutions, but there you go.

There are certain puzzles that can be done using less blocks then what's given to you. That would be really awesome to see done. I did it on console. I've honestly forgotten which levels it was but Hopefully I can figure it out...

awesome, do you know which levels you can do without using all the blocks given to you? there's a few.

Wouldn't this be, you know, boring as hell?

not necessarily, because the puzzles are well made and there are entertaining animations every 10, erm, levels, puzzles, whatever.

I agree that the puzzles are well made and inventive, but I don't think anyone will get any satisfaction out of the solution when they haven't had any time to think about the puzzle themselves. In the time it takes the TASer to solve the puzzle, the viewer doesn't have time to think about it at all. And if you're relying on the animations for entertainment.. well that just shows how doomed this TAS is, seeing how the animations are probably intended for 6-year-olds :)

I finished up through level 21 as of now. I must say it is rather interesting to watch happen fast. Just imagine how many times it would have taken to solve some of these...done in just a few seconds. As of right now I'm averaging about 12 seconds per level...and that's including the unavoidable end and beginning to every level, averaged in with the 10th finish movie clip (a few seconds is required before you can continue). This run will be about 25 minutes long I think. It's so fast paced that I think it could make an okay speed run. Level 60 is in fact one where you can finish with only one tile. Though...the music takes an awful long time. Think I should do the special completion anyway?

yes. kyrsimys: i find the animations at least somewhat entertaining, though this might be a holdover from when i first saw them when i was about 8.

The animations for the most part are skipped completely anyway, it won't matter. I could have sworn there was at least one more level where you didn't have to use all the blocks...
