what a sweet review -- thanks omega! that's very flattering.

not sure if you were able to figure out the end. i can give you a few hints. they'll get more explicit each bullet point down.
(BIG SPOILERS FOR END OF GAME)

gur zrpunavp vaibyirf gjb gryrcbegref.
gur tubfg jnagf gb rfpncr guvf jbeyq.

if you're still stuck, here is the explicit instruction on the goal of the level (but not the steps to solve it):

ooh, interesting! seems like my "loophole" wasn't a loophole after all!
now time to get the portals out... how hard could it be?
by the way, could i get an idea of how hard this is (relative to the other levels)?

now i understand why there is so much empty space...... time for some fun!

it's can be tricky but it should be easier than some of the levels in the 40s. certainly easier than level 50.

Ok, this should be fun!

First thought: (like 1 minute thoughts)

-v cebonoyl unir gb hfr gur 2 erq guvatf gung ner haybpxrq nsgre v svavfu nyy abezny yriryf (qhu)

-v guvax v unir gb hfr gur snpg gung v unir 2 ragenaprf (Nsgre fbyivat gur abezny chmmyr, v unir 2 jnlf gb ragre gur ertvba jvgu gur cbegnyf)

-v guvax vg nyybjf zr gb ragre n cbegny gung unf orra qvfnoyrq, gura chfu vg nsgrejneqf

Time for the final boss! (And then move on to control the body)
