my solution free. it was too tempting to try bonus \\\ because the amoeba slow time was just 60 secs and cave time 100 secs. if the amoeba would have been slow whole time i probably would haven't tried it. but maybe  darkstoorm  would have done it anyway :)

hehe :d  
  
eight rooms, seven of which have an entrance and an outrance, and the idea is that ^ must always take the correct entrance.  
  
the final room was meant to be a version of this - only an entrance but then two possible directions for ^ to take, only one of which was meant to be correct. this would make 2 to the eight = 256 possible ways to play, only one of which solves the cave.  
  
unfortunately i misplaced the lowest \ in the final room, such that both directions work. this \ should be placed 1 unit more down, then ^ would be forced to take the left path to get the cso advantage against the ΜΜΜ.  
  
the bonus \\\ were intended because i found it funny that also for this, ^ must take the correct entrance into the ΘΘΘ room, and it's the other entrance than the one for a normal run ;)

When I tried this cave for the first time, I went into the ΘΘΘ room from the left and Θ grew instantly to the left, but I didn't notice that, so I lost one Α. I thought that was the intended run for some reason and I tried to do that again, but then  nesdori  came in with 4 more Α :D I knew sommething was wrong, so I had to test it in another cave, because I was not sure Θ will grow to the right, but after snapping down fromm the previous row it will get scanned first, so that's how I figured this out.  
  
I thought the solution was the same for the right side by just moving down, but I forgot the scan order was ΘΚΜ in this case :D

:d what a coincidence that the Θ grew when you played it the first time :d
