...I was intrigued enough when I saw Ben's solution on Youtube, but honestly, I have to confess that I also don't "get" the mass appeal (maybe it'd be different if I actually had the stamina/patience/brain to beat it?). A lot of the "solutions" just seem to be fairly random, convoluted tricks.

Plus the fact that after all this labour to get it to work, you have to face an ultimate puzzle in the last room, which requires pin-point accuracy...

Yeah, the last room I don't like either. Maybe if I can manage to complete it, I might like it a little more.
Yeah, last-room-shenanigans are always a bummer. "Mistakes" in CCLP3 got me the first time around...
Admittedly, the TW2 version where the "camera" follows the moving Teeth is pretty impressive. Still, I contend that it's a better spectacle than a puzzle.

It is so challenging, that the "crazy bold people" love it. BTW, I very much enjoyed completing this level, but I won't bother playing it again. Except, of course, that I still have to beat it in MS.
It is very creative, but such a complex level is very frustrating and makes me wish for a Save button.

EXACTLY my point of view.

I really want to know the intended way. I recently beat this level using some AVI help, and the solution it used was both extremely difficult and probably not Lynx compatible.
After dying a few times late in the level, I got extremely proficient at the early parts, which definitely made me enjoy it more. I might even try to optimize it, despite never really optimizing anything before

Quote:Am I crazy or did I read Caves is your favorite all time CC level??
Caves is definitely my favourite CC level . It's so simple but so difficult to solve. I did get a little frustrated when I first played it, however when I found a solution I realised that it is actually a pretty easy level.
