Walkthrough for yesterday's Mirroring Tile: https://youtu.be/xiSMocsWTvc

After taking a stroll through some fountains, it's time to kaero return home. Unfortunately, my apartment complex changes its layout every day, making it ever harder to navigate the labyrinth to my room. Incidentally, sometimes I glimpse a blue robot cat walking around.

Today I am faced with this Building Walk. I'm carrying 2 tubs of ice cream and it's pretty warm in here so time is of the essence. As long as all the elevators are working properly, there should be no problem!

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting path through the centers of some cells, starting from the S (start), traveling through every number and shaded cell (elevator) in the grid, and finishing at the G (goal). The path has a floor number, which changes as it visits shaded cells (elevators). When it travels over an up arrow, this number can increase by any amount (at least 1). When it travels over a down arrow, it can decrease by any amount (at least 1). When it travels over a shaded cell (elevator) without an arrow, the number can increase or decrease by any amount, but cannot remain the same. The floor number cannot go below 1 or above the highest number in the grid. A number may only be visited when the path is on the corresponding floor.
