How to make this shape? (pins on top)

[Soushi [SSRB]]

I'm being a little dumb here, but how do I make this shape?

Stuck on the top pins completely, how do you make this with only two layers? Is there a way to get rid of the topmost layer, without getting to the layer limit?

i haven't come across one like this, and it looks like it's only the second layer? First thing I can think of is to maybe try making a crystal wafer, elevate that on pins, and if the crystal remains, break it in some other fashion before/while dropping the pins onto the bottom layer

Yup, only two layers on this shape.
This is 'insane' difficulty certification, after unlocking the pin machine, and crystals aren't available yet.

Alright, don't read this unless you want to not figure this out on your own.


Take a starter shape like one corner of a circle. Pin it, four times. You end up with a "tower of pins" in that one corner because at the limit it eliminated the corner of the circle.

Then, take another shape and pin it, once. You want pins in the two corners, so, use circle quarters in those corners. Make sure the pins are in different corners than your "tower of pins" shape. Then, stack that shape on top of your "tower of pins". Because it's already too tall, the top layer, the circle quarters, vanish, and the pins beneath it remain and fall to the bottom. Now you have a "tower of pins" in one corner and lone pins in two other corners. Chop up that shape to eliminate the "tower of pins" and stack the other two pins onto your other shape. And you're done.

Thank you!

the soushi way is very complicatet in my opinion :D


i'am handle the pins as a normal shape. Pins a shape 4 times --> Stack of Pins --> Crystalgenerator --> Pin one more time and you got a single layer Pins. Like a normal Shape :)

On insane you get into the "2-3 layered shapes with pins on top" hellscape way-way before the Crystals are unlocked ;)
