the show must go on! :d  
inspired by  enrico 's demo on his latest cave "self-exploding intermission"!

i think my run shows the intended solution, but given  nesdori  and  darkstoorm 's scores, i would guess that a faster way for the left side is possible...? :-D

...or those runs just do the right side while waiting for the left side... :-D

Funnily enough, almost all solutions are apart by multiples of 3, so I assume, a full cycle of falling boulder :D or maybe it's just a coincidence :D

ok... found a way to save some time. now my run is probably similar to  nesdori 's? :-)

two independant cso effects here:  
  
\ the continuity break which makes the fireflies suddenly explode. this is caused by the open border (as all continuity nreaks are!)  
  
\ directly after the explosions, ^ can use the freed space one frame earlier than the \\ so he's able to stop them from falling. this is because ^ is scanned after the vanishing explosion smoke so he can immediately use the freed space.

after i saw  nesdori 's score, i was slightly worried that there's a principal shortcut, but then i noted that the left ffly can start its looping dance two rows higher than in my run ;)
