#143 - this also works fine as is. how did you think this was solvable in ms, as in why would your suggestion be needed only in lynx?
Syzygy, I like the way you are thinking, but on a couple of these suggestions I just think you didn't realize how well Archie understands lynx mode. I really enjoy the differences in some of the solutions between the modes, like #134 possibly being the prime example. Keep the feedback coming on the levels you play though, as not many people care enough to do that.

Hi Miika! Thanks for the detailed elaboration.
For #36, It's actually a bust. This is one of the very first level I designed and I was very naive at that time. I have fixed it in the latest version (version 1.6.2).
From your comment, I felt like I have designed hundreds of levels before, so I have mastered Lynx.
Unfortunately that is not the case.
I'm still new in level designing, and I made many mistakes in my first levelset. Most of them came from earlier levels though. But what I want to explain here is I still don't quite get the differences between Lynx and MS. For most of the time I just play them both and fix any unsolvability until the level can be solved in both mode. So, I don't really deserve any compliment about my knowledge in Lynx, which is still shallow.
For an instance, consider your comment for #143. I still can't figure out why the change can help Lynx mode, but not MS mode.
Another one: The differences in #134 you used as a prime example, must be something that I missed, because I don't see any differences by playing in MS or Lynx in this level!
