Step by Step Training

First level.



















Time limit is 35 steps (not seconds). All gems needed. Rocks cannot be snapped. The postcard says something like "if you got this envelope but didn't snap, you might need to rethink your plan"

Not that hard, but pretty clever. Here's the tape:

That was fun. Took me quite a few tries but once I finally worked out the route and best use of snapping everything was fine.

BONUS: The level can be solved with the starting step count set to 33.

SUPER RIDICULOUS: The level can still be solved if any one of the fuel containers is replaced by a spent fuel container, or a rock. (If the bottom left fuel is the one that becomes the rock, you can even make both the rock-replacement and 33-step adjustments and still have a solvable level.)

Clever... I'm surprised I hadn't even thought of that while making the level. I managed to get up to 307, and only after reading that comment!

[Anonycat]

To be fair, pulling off the 33/rock combo absolutely requires a frame-accurate maneuver: snapping a falling gem in midair. Without that, you can still complete the level with a rock in that one particular spot, but you'd need all 35 steps.

I'm new so I don't get what everybody else gets... where is the levelset for this series?

[Anonycat]

It's not part of a level set at all, you have to construct it yourself in the level editor, using the template shown in the first post.

7 years after I got an answer to my question in this post When I come to do what I need to, to get the level, I am still stumped.

I can see that the 'image' of the level is actually built up of elements, but when I copy them and paste into RnD, I get the 'no level sketch found in clipboard' warning.

And if [having copied the elements of the image] I paste into this post, I get nothing but new lines:

"
















"

What am I doing wrong? Is there another way?

press the quote button (looks like two inverted commas) on the first post; then you will see that in the original markup there are a bunch of backticks followed by numbers, looking like this:

copy the whole thing to clipboard, then press ctrl+V while in the level creator in rocks'n'diamonds. then you will manually need to set the time limit to 35 steps (not seconds) and make it so all gems need to be collected in order to exit.
