Ultimate Chip 2: (Released!)

[Ihavenoname248]

I figure this is close enough to finishing, especially with the progress I've been making lately, that an "official" announcement of its existence wouldn't be promising something that may never come to be. Anyway, I've been working on this on and off for the past...5 years or so, though mostly off. It's essentially a sequel to my first big set, Ultimate Chip.dat, in that I'm trying to make it outright better. Less (to the point of only a couple breather levels) throwaway levels, no invalid tiles, a lot more Lynx compatibility (though I got tired of designing around that after a point, I think level 70-80 is where), and generally better design. Here's some samples of what I've got so far:

I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out, as a sort of open-ended puzzle level. Lots of options as to how to solve it, though currently it's untimed. Perhaps I should make the timer 999 just to see how it gets optimized...

A simpler level a bit later in the set, more to focus on aesthetics. I know that brutal puzzle after brutal puzzle gets old fast, so I've been mixing in easier levels, simpler levels, even some action levels though for the most part I'm bad at designing those.

Lastly, the top left corner of a level that I designed around the concept of having everything you need in the field of view from the beginning of the level...but needing to go to every extreme just in order to complete it.

No download link for now since I don't like releasing WIPs, though I suppose the first version with 149 levels will be version 0.9-people better than me at solving might find busts I missed, and I can't have that in the final product
