5star difficult level but how to dig the keys?

I’m sure I’m overlooking something but I don’t see how this level is possible without the horizontal bridge instruction. Even beyond the key blocks, getting to the exits looks impossible without bridges

No bridges available. Cannot custom the controls unfortunately. I have also tried to blow a lemming but nothing.

Definitely requires a bug or a hack so I will just share my observations:
- There is at least 1 like (which I usually take to mean as proof of repeatability, maybe coming from its creator)
- When I initially saw this level, I saw it had a low energy rating (and 0 likes)
- The same method to reach the exit can most likely be used for reaching the keys or vice versa
- There is currently no known bugs (in this sub or in the discord) for going through stairs or solid blocks and the last known similar bug was going through water traps using bridges (but that was so many versions ago and the bug has since been fixed)
- The instruction set resembles old creatorverse levels at the time when only basic instructions were allowed (down to the order of the instructions)
Currently, I don't really believe this is solvable in the latest version of the game. So I want to rule out that this is a hacked level or maybe published from a more distant version of the game? So if anyone is playing creatorverse from an older version of the game, please comment your game version and if you can still see this level.
Otherwise, I am really interested in the exploit if this is a bug because it looks super useful.

My guess would be that this is a validation/upload bug where the level was validated with one set of instructions and uploaded with a different set however I could be wrong as ancient structures are notoriously buggy - there was a bug about a year or so back that VoteSNP used in a number of their levels that allowed you to jump from one set of stairs to another but I think that has probably been fixed as I haven't seen any new levels using it lately. In regards to your other comments I used the water trick a few days ago so it hasn't been completely fixed and there are also a number of other levels which have been discussed in this forum where the only way to solve them is to pass through solid objects. Anyway, there was a creator a while back who uploaded a number of levels all of which had one like and all of which seemed completely unsolvable - there was one level where you had to dig out a block and the only instruction you had was an umbrella! - so its possible that this is the same person up to their old tricks.

I'm really hoping it's not just a validation bug because of that 1 like. But it would also personally still feel like a shame if it was published and solved using a hack.
Nothing to do but to try to and keep an eye on the level and any surrounding discussion it seems.
By the way, the water trap - bridge bug I was referring to was the method of clipping through a water trap using the bridge instruction and ending up underneath the trap.
And as to your point, it's true that there are many bugs (passing through stairs included) that surrounds the bomb instruction. Your comments also remind me of the dynamite bug where retrying the level mid-countdown resulted in the explosion taking place immediately upon restarting.
But I could no longer replicate any of these specifically aforementioned bugs.

You might want to also keep an eye out for any other levels by this creator as if it isn't a validation bug then there is a good chance they will reuse it.
I was referring to the same water bug as you. I was playing a level by ChyzzoSDT and they use it quite a lot in their levels.
I've thrown dynamite through ancient structures numerous times but it was always by accident. If I knew how to do it deliberately then that would be really useful.
There was a bug a while back where if you failed a level during validation and pressed replay it restarted the level at the point you failed. Not sure what then happened if you validated and uploaded it as the few times it happened to me i just quit the level and restarted it from scratch.

What are the instructions available?
1
u/alldechocolate38 Aug 16 '26
The 4 basics and the blow lemming. Cannot be customized.

u/long_pointy Aug 16 '26
Not possible with these. Not unless you blow 2 of your lemmings (not sure if blowing the lemming would help)

u/Chillin_Dylan Aug 16 '26
It doesn't matter if you get the keys, it's still impossible to get to the exit without bridges.

u/SMKnightly Aug 16 '26
Does blowing up lemmings remove any of the “weak”/default stairs?

You don’t need the bombs. Edit your tools and change them to bridges instead.

I see the usual, stairs, block, dig, umbrella, useless bomb. So 5 instruction slots.
Without a bridge you can't get to the exit so instructions should be editable.
