I'm not so sure I have this right anymore. I did pretty much the same thing again, except I had to be more efficient cutting the tar. After positioning the wraithwing, your arrow forced me to travel back by platform rather than by tunnel.

I feel like I'm missing something...

Hmm. I don't know any more.
Here's another version.
Basically, the harder solution is to clear the right side, not the left.
Think I've enforced it now, but maybe at the expense of a cleverer puzzle.

Have a couple more ideas for rooms (probably will use as the side rooms on the hub level). Then will submit.

Alright, that was a tough tar efficiency puzzle, but I've done it now. And you're right... finishing the current version of Symmetry 1S gave me more of a "whew! it's finally done" feeling than an "aha!" feeling.

A compromise on Symmetry 1S (kind of)
2 new hub rooms (both fairly easy).
Realise that they could probably do with checkpoints but can't go back an edit just at the minute.

Hold's almost done I'd say.

Is this the intended solution for The Prism and the Light 1W? It seems pretty cool to me, but I used only 2 of the 4 available goblins.

Unfortunately, I can not solve The Prism and the Light 1E. I can have both the mirror and the aumtlich survive the bomb blast while I kill the eastern eye. But then I have to kill the aumtlich when he steps on the pressure plate at (21,10). I still have the mirror, but it is impossible to put the mirror on the pressure plate at (6,10) to finish the room. It seems I should have saved the aumtlich for that... but how? Help please?

Your solution's correct for 1W. I thought that having only 2 goblins would make the solution too obvious.

Also sounds like you've done 1E right too (you can use the mirror).

Your east pointing force arrow prevents me from using the mirror. See screenshot. :(

Thanks for the comments.
Because the hold's now submitted (though only CSR seems to have hold adminned it so far), I'll not go releasing solutions - sorry. I can PM you if you want, or you can wait for H+S.

You've got a good point about Distorted Images, and ideally I probably should change it, but the hold's already submitted and has been OKed once already.
