title: Escape The Room  
  
Once Rockford finds a way to free himself, he finds himself in another time-honoured cave!

another great highscore puzzle cave! :-D  
  
now i wonder:  
\ are there multiple ways to escape from the start position?  
\ is it possible to collect more than 33\ ? ;-)

my best so far is 23\. i don't remember every detail of my successful gdash runs anymore :d

i'm not completely sure, but i think i remember that i had two different ways to escape from the start. the first method made me struggling to get 25\, but then i discovered a second method, after which it was way easier to get more than enough \. if my memories are correct, then probably at the moment i always use the first method, and you possibly used the second in your runs. well, we'll see... ;D

ah nice, until now i found just one method; we'll see indeed :-)  
  
by the way, in my last run i got 36\ and i'm still not sure about one of the remaining 2\...

unbelievable...... :-D  
  
at first i did not expect that all 38\ is possible in this cave, but here's the proof that it is!  
  
this great feeling of satisfaction reminds me of the moment, many years ago, when i got all\ in the original bd2 cave p (on level 1).   
  
but this solution is even more freaky...! ;-D

wow! i don't have words... :D fantastic! my favourite spot is how you use the three \ at the right side... :D  
  
my "EARTHBOUND" solution at least shows a slightly different escape method ;D

thx! indeed the right side was the last puzzle; to collect all \ near the bottom without getting stuck. creating a \-exit-path using these \ from the top section turned out to be Columbus' egg. :-)  
  
and good to see the other escape-from-start-method; nice one! :-D

 Arno , whoa! insane run! :O :) when i saw the cave i was pretty sure that some of the bottom \ are impossible. btw, my starting sequence is different to both of yours is the most simple: i didn't dig below the inbox at all and also i didn't dig the piece of dirt on the top-left from the inbox. i just let the column where the inbox is located to fall freely and then at the same let the rightmost column to fall. then snap the diamond on the right and immediately go up and left so that a boulder from the left side falls instead of right side. then rockford ends up under \ from the top section and can freely run upwards.

thx  nesdori ! have to try your method but it sounds quite simple indeed... :-D

btw, has anyone ever tried to go for all \ on the higher cave p levels (orinal)? i think it must be really impossible on l5, so many bottom diamonds...
