i don't have good idea for this.
i think that i have to cut the tar in a way that babies blocking the tar field to grow to much.
but how to work on four sides at the same time?¿?

The first major point is how to keep passages open after leaving them. The answer is leave it so a tar baby will form on the next cycle. Here's how to do that most efficiently. Cut the tar from spots marked 1-3 and a tar baby will form next spawn keeping that passage open.



Another little hint if you can't quite make it to the 4th passage in time:

×Just free up the 3rd passage, don't spend time as described above. Go on to the 4th and then back to the 3rd.

So that is the intended way of doing it?

It is fun to see what people can do.

Indeed I could not save all 4 passages in time without "cheating".

On level 4, 1S1E I wondered whether this could be done with any turns remaining on the spawn counter. I couldn't and indeed many found this to be a good challenge to complete. It has been solved with 3 EXTRA turns remaining!

And level 6: 1N can be solved by killing the tar eyes and not worrying about using the trap doors as I intended. Good luck to anyone else who can accomplish that.

And of course Rabscuttle, our efficiency expert, managed to solve Level 3: 2S in just under 9,000 turns. Go figure.

it doesn't work when i try so. not one move, but about 7 or 8 i will come to late to cut the 4th passage
could someone send me a (partial or complete) demo please?

Here you go...

I guess I could have saved a few steps here and there but I'd say I didn't do too bad...
