Hi, mmoraleta, and happy holidays! I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the set, and congratulations on getting so far.

There are a couple of reliable strategies I know of to clear Swip-Swap.

Both solutions start by, while the Teeth is still trapped by the tanks, pushing the rightmost block up to form a corner with the nearby wall. From there, once you get the Teeth caught on that corner, you can do more block pushing as long as you don't go too far to the right. From then, the solutions diverge:

One involves using the blocks to make a wall with a "hook" on the top, holding the Teeth in place until you run around to the right side.

Another involves bridging outside the left side of the level and back in further down, allowing you to get the Teeth caught on a level feature down there until you get around to the right side.

And here are those solutions step by step in images, in case you need further help:

JB's "just run for it" approach takes less work, but it's also less reliable (and it might not work in Lynx since he did do a backwards force floor step-off).

If you still can't solve the level, please let me know exactly what problems you are having and which ruleset you are playing (MS, Lynx, or CC2), and I will do my best to help.

All 100 levels completed! I know that I've blazed through these levels in a fast pace but it shows has much I enjoy playing Chips Challenge in general and this set in particular. Chips Challenge was one of my childhood games back in the Windows Entertainment Pack Era. Anyway I hope you're excited for 2017 coming up!

I really enjoyed this set a little more than the original 100 tiles since there was more challenging levels and more creative concepts. Again, I am thankful that this set along with the original had no unreasonable frustrating levels. Also, thank you for your solution for Swip-Swap, I was stuck on that level for some time now cause of that tank and tooth mechanism. Some of my favorite levels in the set were Jigsee (94) and Jigsaw (99), two great levels that sort of correspond with each other and kind of let you do the level in any order you want in a scavenger hunt fashion. Block Unpuzzle (39) was also one of my favorites, I've never seen that kind of concept where you had to solve a sokoban and then "unsolve" it. All in all, this set is a little better than the original level set but stil a great level set and I definitely enjoyed this level set. Great job!
