I haven't quite formalized how this should work out, so I will present this as a very informal competition (so it is more like a challenge).

Below I have taken a picture of a level. Your job is to beat the level without ever playing on it.
To do this, you will play on http://www.protonaut.net/?level=919. When you think you have solved the pictured level, suicide (Shift+\) and PM me the replay. I will then apply the replay you saved to the actual level. The person who collects the most elements wins!

Second note: if you are a free player, feel free to use one of the free-to-play levels to save your replay on. The second level might be a good choice.

Note: I realize that it would be very easy for you to find and practice on the actual level. Right now, I ask that you just don't try. If this type of "Blind Man's Competition" gains some traction, we can try different iterations.
Have fun and let me know if you have any questions below!

How does Hap come up with these ideas!?

Awesome, really excited for the stupidity of Protonaut's movements in the level! Haha

Here you go!

The level was 920, here are the 3 replays I received. I think it is too tough to do a completely blind competition like this, especially without feedback:

Darkeagle: http://www.protonaut.net/?replay=442&level=920
Linkz: http://www.protonaut.net/?replay=421&level=920
Weasel: http://www.protonaut.net/?replay=402&level=920

Wow my replay sucked...

Nice job though, weasel and darkeagle.

Thanks. I kinda just jumped around. Weasel did better than me. But I didn't even look at the picture of the level. I just sent my replay in.
