hi  darkstoorm , welcome to the site! very nice dsm2019 series and a beginning of dsm2020 series :)  
  
it indeed is a common practise that if the creator of a cave does a demo right after publishing the cave it usually is set hidden for a while; especially if the cave is challenging or tricky like this one. this encourages players to try it themselves instead of checking the demo immediately and then stating in their minds "oh that's how it's done, i probably could have done it too but now that there's already visible solution i'll skip it". also hidden demos keep up a little spirit of competition that who can solve the cave and who can get the best score without knowing the intended solution or other players' strategies. also, one of the best income of hidden solutions is that when solutions are finally revealed, there are all kinds of different solutions instead of copying the first one. thinking out of box is much easier if you haven't seen an example solution yet :) usually it's up to the creator of the cave to decide that when it's time to reveal the solutions. he does reveal it first stating something like "my demo free" which is a signal for other players that now they can show their solutions too. this just a general practise; some players will always show their demos right away and some players might keep them hidden for a longer period of time.  
  
speaking of out-of-box thinking; i have a crazy idea how to get a lots of bonus diamonds on this cave. it's very tricky and i have to try out few things first. maybe a hidden demo later :D

hi  nesdori , Thanks for the tips! At first, I didn't know you can unhide demos, so I uploaded a public one. Later I noticed you can do that, but I forgot to hide it anyway :D  
  
It might be too late, but it's now hidden :D

finally got it! 69 diamonds total so 29 bonus diamonds \\\ :) even more is possible; it's actually quite hard to say what is the max limit

since there has been no more attempts my demo is now visible. the bottom left room was too easy so i decided to add few bflies into it :D i spent a lot of time to get the timings correct. there are many different ffly release timings which interfere with the bflies so that bflies can be transferred into bottom left room but with most timings the room is way too difficult or almost impossible to run through. also careful timings are needed to fully blast the brick wall. there must be a continuous stream of diamonds so that bfly won't go through the diamond fall but there must be stationary diamonds beside rockford so that he can drop a diamond by switching a lane and not get trapped and killed by the bfly. the run may look like a regular sunday walk but it's carefully planned :)

That is amazing, not even going to try to attempt to get that many, that's way too hard.  
I Didn't think it was possible to go back in there :D
