spoiler
Some species of antelope are capable of jumping higher than the average house. This is due to the antelopes unnaturally strong hind legs, and the fact that the average house can’t jump.

Groaner. Loved it. Did you know that bison can leap 5 ft straight up the air? That'd be a heavy thunk when one came down!

Not so. Every puzzle on this site can be solved without guesswork.

Yup. Everything can be done completely programmatically. Now, as for finding the next step, that's a different issue!
I ended up having to use a hint one this one because I just couldn't see the next move. Of course once the hint showed me, it was really obvious!

It's been a while since a Tverianka puzzle has graced the Small category, and they have been missed. Their ability to craft puzzles that are both tricky and enjoyable to solve is among the best. This puzzle is no exception. This puzzle utilizes a number of tricks beyond simple counting that make it fun for seasoned solvers while still being approachable (and possibly a learning experience) for greener solvers. The path one takes ranges across the entire grid and the image isn't fully realized until the placement of the last pixels.
The theme itself is one Tverianka has covered before, but it still feels fresh and original. They have captured the movement and elegance of the subject wonderfully and the background (while somewhat abstract) lends depth of focus. I only wish more of their puzzles were created at this resolution so more people might enjoy them!

Long time no see Tverianka. I sure have missed her.

Well, I have been working through really old small puzzles and she is there plenty.
replyBeautiful, and enjoyable to solve. Thank you Terianka!
replyTerianka, learned something new from you today. Plus, I had to come back to the puzzle, because I kept getting stumped. The away time helped my brain thaw.
replyAs always, Tverianka, your puzzles are a blessing. Thank you!
replyI breezed through this one! Think I'm getting better.
