What about CCLP2 Level 108?

Listing all the CCLP2 levels with nasty tricks would tax even the patience of someone who didn't mind "On The Rocks."

Block Away! (21) was the 1st CCLP2 level I noticed with nasty lock/trap combinations at the end.

The Lake in Winter (51) is my 2nd least favorite level in that set because it's just a more complexed version of Icedeath, except no death, more guesswork.

Chips on the Blocks (62) was just ridiculous.

Chip Search (74) Hidden traps under floor = RAGE

Exit Chip (93) the whole level is about dirty tricks + perfect lucky timing.

Tricks (108) just has a bunch of things under blocks. I actually quite liked it, considering it only took me 10 minutes to solve.

Blocked Trap (109) does have the nasty lock/trap combos again, but isn't that bad. Solved it blind in 11 minutes.

After the Rainstorm (112) just has the ram but everyone should know that and how to execute it by now.

Teeth (119) there's that bit at the end where you have to be in a certain step in order not to get killed by the last tooth monster. I hated that.

BlockSlide (123) = SLIDE DELAY

Frozen Birdbath (130) I hated. My least favorite of the set.

Chomper Romp (142) appearing walls at the end, WITH teeth monster dodging? I don't think so.

Run-A-Muck (146) Famous for it's mis-wired trap connections at the beginning and making me rage.

Did I miss anything?

Umm you missed 51 - The Lake in Winter

If your gonna list 44, you have to list 51.

35 - Mirror, 133 - Block Maze

How do those 2 have guesswork?

[BitBuster]

I'm mightily impressed with the both of you.



You could probably extend the definition of "dirty tricks" to include more than just guesswork, but I think it's telling that so many levels are saddled with guesswork...I wonder what a CC1 list would look like? (I'm too lazy to do it myself, but for some reason, the hot blocks in Special and Block & Roll don't taint my view of the set the way so many CCLP2 levels do...)

To me, guesswork is only really guesswork if it causes a cook or death.

35 - Whoops, I didn't notice that you can window shop the way to the exit and figure out that you need to get there last. I originally put it on the list because it's impossible to window shop the red key.

133 - the hot block at (7,22). Since you need to push between rooms and that block is pretty close by, you might use it.

[Flareon350]

Well with that time limit of 450 on 51, you can die

I didn't know there was a hot block in 133.

Also the location of the red key, you can get out safely. Just saying

Level 72 of my upcoming levelset. It'll possibly take an hour.

I'm not going to make it, but imaging a level with one block cloner, a lot of water, and a lot of thin walls. It could take a lonnnnng time to finish.
