I tried to emulate the length of Karoshi's levels, while also coming up with a variety of ways to die to make things interesting.
I was disappointed that the difficulty curve didn't really take off, so hopefully you're going to add some more levels later.

Hmmm... I haven't played the original Karoshi (yet), so I didn't know that. But what I really meant was not making larger levels, but rather to have more puzzles like #9 and #10.

#9 - Can be "solved" using just 3 blocks.

But maybe you also want to add this as another level with only 3 blocks...

I think #19 is unequal - because in MS you could figure it out by putting your ear to the ground, but in Lynx you would have to brute-force all <sup>12</sup>C<sub>6</sub> combinations.

How so? In MS you can hear the red button hit, so you can find out which brown buttons are of consequence; whereas in Lynx you can't hear it because blocked cloners don't make a sound. You can hear trappings in Lynx, but that seems difficult to employ because of the two tracks.
