This was the 13th Yajilin puzzle from my somewhat recent LMI contest, Yajilin Yacht. A solution video for the contest puzzle can be found on the contest page.
Enter the Matrix was my other other other favorite puzzle from the contest, after One Up (2), Breezy Street (6) and Truly Symmetric (10). Though honestly, 15 and 16 are my other two favorites just from what I managed to pull off for them. Anyway!
A lot of people had to bash their way through this puzzle, but some people did end up deriving the key entrance counting idea in this layout for the first time during their solve. That was my entire goal for a puzzle like this - if you know the trick, it's a fairly straightforward solve. If you don't know the trick, there's not really a lot you can look at (other than the 4 down, which kind of helps anyway) to find it. And if you can't find it, the scale is still small enough to fiddle through. Overall, this was one of one of the most polarizing puzzles in the contest. People either got it and loved it, or didn't get it and didn't like it.
