<jcreed> Directly inspired by the blue-sphere part of the "Scuba Diving" series. |

<jcreed> Very satisfying to beat, especially since I had a one-move-shy-of-correct solution for a while. |

<bpotetz> Another great level! I can tighten this one a bit, maybe I will submit a mod. Keep them coming! |

<Tom 7> This level has become a sort of cringeworthy cliche. Check out the "Annoying: Surprise Deaths" category for more examples... |

<Tom 7> Well, save and restore has been there for a long time, and it's basically just a less-convenient version of undo. In my opinion it makes the game better. For one thing it makes levels like "Level Error" (ugh) trivial, which hopefully is less incentive to make them. Second, it gets rid of some of the frustration in the game (from errant keypresses, or whatever), instead making the solving process a bit more high-level.
That said, it's clearly possible to make levels that are unreasonably difficult, and it's easier to make them with save and restore. But as always the responsibility to make good levels remains with the level authors, not the software itself!
(BTW, I think this is a good level). |

<hyperxpress> Hello! This is creator. MUAHAHAHAHAHA! You only have ONE way to get out. This GAME is very hard. YOU MUST MEMORIZE this level or you always die. |

<Joshua Bone> A late night thought:
Are features like save/reload and undo meant to be "extra" features of Escape, or integral parts of the game? Both features started out as luxuries, but with the addition of recent levels such as this one (Grand Prix also comes to mind), they have become necessities. (This level in particular, due to the unpredictability of the behavior of hugbots in groups, is virtually impossible without the undo feature).
I was just noticing how different the game is now than it was three months ago. I think the changes are really great, but I did want to point out the game's growing dependency on what were originally 'bonus' features. |

| Thanks a lot, Hugbot (advanced?) |

<Max> I think this is indeed advanced because I had far less trouble with the first version of this one... |

<Tom 7> Yeah, this level is great. It's also extremely tight. In fact, it seems that it's not even possible to beat it 'too fast', even if you figure out a more efficient way of getting the grey block in the hole. |

<Doom> I'm glad that someone liked my first level here. I'll definitely make some more if I have spare time and good ideas. |
