I didn't even realize the scores WENT to 800! And I'd been looking forward to seeing how you handled level 57. Such a pain.

[@bowxfire5275]

19:20 u knowhe spent a lot of time drawingthat level when he got more hyped at getting 200 than 800. Good example for Difference between hard work and not hardwork.

[@Satseful]

200 at lvl57 is much harder to get than 800 at lvl56. I would be more hype for 200 at 57 than 800 at 56 as well.

[@rodepet]

I think you just made sense of my life choices

[@GummieI]

tbf I suspect a lot of the reason for that high 800 score is that small isolated and direct route on the left side (which make it so much more funny to realise the exit road over the river on the 200 level is there only because of that xD

[@bowxfire5275]

@@GummieI yup i bet if he connects all ways with lesser concrete he can get 1000

[@Satseful]

@@GummieI That is correct. The route on the left side will in my estimation increase the points around 200 points, so it is giving pretty nice amount of points, even if it is crazy easy part of the game.

[@crazybeat4998]

So if any one skips any thing or does not see the first episode

[@MatanArie]

The great score on level 56 is likely related to the direct route between 98 West and the traffic light park.

[@GummieI]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing (which just make it so much more interesting when you realise that road comes directly from the next pain in the arse level he did next xD

[@anguscheung3808]

18:06 That is almost perfect except that he forgot to connect yellow to purple on the right which causes much more purple cars in the middle and jam the third lane.

YES! Thank you, RCE. Thanks to your design for level 57 (19:30), I've finally finished the level. Although I only managed to get 180 points, it is still enough to clear the 175-point bar. As others have pointed out, level 57 is the hardest level in the game. Some will get you thinking, but nothing too bad. Best of luck!

[@mateuszspychaa3841]

Matt, sorry to break it to you basically at the end of the game but... you can actually undo. When you're drawing a road and you see the bulldozer in the yellow circle - just click it.

That grid level made me give up yesterday lol. Glad to see you had a problem with it too. Did you know that when you mess up a curve you can just draw over it and they will take the better route? Also when it should connect but doesn't you can just draw over a connection that didn't register again. It uses more concrete. But for small mistakes it works

[@DP-it7zm]

@14:21 you could use the bridge mechanism to do a double roundabout, one on top of the other. Do, the bottom one first, then the top one to link the yellow store to the roads

That would use more concrete, because those 2 bridges can be so short. roundabout is best solution at that level.
