×1E: This isn't too bad once you realize it's a room about making a corner. And while it's very difficult to hit the slayer with a staff when he's facing diagonally, you don't need to do that to make him hit one of the diagonal roaches.
Still, this is probably pretty tough to work out for players who aren't fairly advanced. I like it myself, but I can see why Insoluble might balk.

1N1E: This, on the other hand, is pretty easy because the slayer has a dagger. Since it can't block your moves, you can fairly easily get him to face the direction you want while you push him around.
The golems were a bit trial-and-error. Not that hard once I set things up to kill one before letting the slayer move again, though.

1N2E: No, just no.
More precisely: I can survive the briar just fine with only the kegs. Keeping the slayer alive on top of that, however? Not something I was willing to try, and so I haven't even attempted to manipulate him in the second part of the room.
...okay. That wasn't actually that bad. I just had to set up the kegs so that neither of us had to move. The manipulation in the second half is fairly simple, too, because the pickaxe just pushes.
Much easier than it looked, thankfully. That said, the first part looks like it can be done in a messy way that involves pushing the slayer around to cut briar with his pickaxe, which would be an awful process. Since it's entirely unnecessary, I recommend replacing his weapon with a caber, or a spear if that's viable. Or even a staff and make the second half into something where you need to push him over a tile Beethro can't cross for whatever reason.

2E: Again, because the slayer pushes rather than killing (unless you're near a wall), most of the manipulation isn't too hard. However, I found clearing out the final bomb chamber a little too fiddly.

×Broken rooms you broke: 1S2W (the GUARD is supposed to follow you through the corridor at the end), 1N2W (you're supposed to have to stab one of the eyes with a decoy), 4S1E (sort of), 7S1E (even more than Inso originally did).

1N2W: As mentioned, you found an irritatingly simple way to break this room. Not totally sure how to force what I really want out of this one; the mirror and keg's placements were part of my effort to do so already.

1N1W: The only meaningful difference between my solution and yours is that I had the mimic come take a sword after he was finished rearranging the eyes, and then kill the one he was replacing himself. Fairly certain this made the "don't step on button again" a little easier for me.

1E: The primary trick I used was the < or > formation of kegs to be able to basically push the slayer wherever I wanted, especially when he's facing orthogonally. You...completely ignored the kegs instead x_X

2E: I made sure I could kill the slayer in every room. In this room, I put a tile of water so I could stick him into it.

1S: Techincally part of the 'potatoes' section; the first room I built for tv dinner. Kind of silly and dumb and easy but kept in for "sentimental" reasons and I don't feel it really hurts the hold overall much.

2S1E: The only way I could manage this room left me with a couple of babies and a construct right on top of me. So the switch tokens kill the babies (they turn to gel, walk onto the water, then to tar and fall in) while the construct is chasing me to the seeding beacon.

2S1W: The idea is not to hide, but to run the roaches around in a circle quickly enough to get to the cover in the west before the brain dies. If you're still in the open when the brained horde turns unbrained, you're doomed. Your solution looks very similar to mine aside from your golem corpses being slightly farther west.

1S1W: As stated before, you broke this a bit. But it's not too horrible, I guess.

4S1E: You were supposed to have to make a blob in a helpful location, then take a sword and blow up the blob from the east, then use skippers to help make or finish an ice bridge back to the west before finally killing the nest. I don't think I thought through this one much at the time, and I'm not really sure how to require all that anyway.

4S1W: I don't want one-use-only plates purely because of how much more of a massive pain that would be to the player trying to arrange the puffs. The mechanisms are set so you can step on the plates as many times as you want before releasing the roach without getting into a failstate or winning any easier. Maybe I could add lights to show which ones you "need" or which you "don't want", but it's pretty straightforward--you don't want the ones connected to the arrow, you want the ones that aren't. Maybe this puzzle would be better if I added a stealth tile to it? The point of it was never supposed to be "fighting back puffs nonstop" honestly, just the "getting the right shape" part--hence the speed potions.

7S1E: The idea was actually to get a row of babies on the bottom, long enough that the "back" one is on the button that closes the yellow door, such that you can face west, wait for the construct to revive, and then walk west through them with it behind you. It looked really neat until I realized I had inadvertently found a move-order-dependent solution.
