<Swivel Maste> (SPOILER) You don't have to use all the buttons in the middle. Some will mess you up. So no, you didn't cook it :) |

<Swivel Maste> (SPOILER) I just watched the speedrun, MAJOR kudos on figuring out how to work it like that. |

<Swivel Maste> Thanks! I wasn't sure how that feature worked or even where to look it up. I'll fix it and re-up the level. |

<Tom 7> Yeah. Although I think most of the Escape experts prefer the levels that are just a hair short of impossible, and so we tend to make such levels almost exclusively, those levels are pretty inaccessible to beginners. I think it's important to have good levels at all difficulties, in order to allow beginners to improve their puzzling skills. |

I'm somewhat amazed this is a speedrun. Definately lots of room to improve.
<Milton> PS - not that it matters overmuch, but I was a bit surprised by the difficulty and style ratings. I think that some of you should really take an objective look at how you rate - if this level rates a difficulty of 2 and a style between 3 and 4, would it even be possible to rate a 9 on either according to your standard? I know it's just a game, but don't make giving low ratings a matter of pride because it really negates their usefulness for the rest of us . . .
<Milton> (SPOILER) Thanks. As I said, the main point was just the dispenser.
To be honest, by the time I had the mechanism down, I had lost some interest in further implementation. I basically just randomly added a bunch of colored switches, rough, and the yellow stuff (what's it called again?) and made sure it was solveable. I actually made a mistake with the one extra remote that appears - I had intended for it to actually do something, but I must have forgotten. But by the time I had finished solving it in 4000+ moves, I didn't feel like doing it over.
I agree that this level would be better with more care given to the lower portion and without the extra switches (sorry about that - I don't know what I was thinking). Maybe I'll redo it in a few days, but anyone else who wants to mess with it should feel free in the meantime.
FYI, the ordering of the bots is important, as I'm sure you can see when you think about it . . . |

<Swivel Maste> Thanks Tom7 :) I like levels that aren't insanely hard but are just clever in a way that makes you go "oh, of course!" when you figure it out... instead of going "oh it's THAT stupid combination!" and slapping your forehead. I also like the idea of putting all the options right in front of the player from the outset and then letting the player figure out what order to go in. |

<mm> (SPOILER) The creation and idea of a dispenser is great! Concerning the level itself I agree with wowei.
<wowei> (SPOILER) Added speedrun: 3931 moves (old: 4214).
nice "suspenser"-mechanism, but a little loose. i also missed a little logic in deciding, what is a red herring and what is not. |

Still room for some improvement I think.

Um, yeah, what's the point of this level exactly? (Initial run, didn't try to optimize.) |
