  got it, sigh. i didnt see through this at all and had a completely different way in mind to switch off the laser. so for my blindness it was the hardest problem, how to block the lower laser. sigh again.

Nevertheless this is a nice riddle and it literally shouts for an other modification, because i think noname's mod doesnt do much against the possible shortcut.

  thanks for the wink, Your Highness.

Yes yes robots are our friends, I know. You sound almost like Isaac Asimov. But here they 're driving me nuts, these rusty rotten tinheads ... rotten! ;) I think, I'm getting closer to the switch-off-laser part, but tere're still problems. I'll keep trying further.

Speaking of bot-friends (those lousy useless trashboxes); these stupid stinky goldblocks with their sphere-companions drive me nuts also, not to mention the compies that arranged them. ;) I mean pieguy's c.-revenges 5 and 2. =)

  Wowei, I'm feeling honoured! And I'm laughing. Thanks! How are you doing with pieguy's revenge levels? ;-) I think my rating for this level is appropriate. But that's only my own opinion.

Ok, seriously: this level as well as rouge-like-like is all about bots. Bots are our friends!

  wowie I really don't know what kind of hint to give other than let the hugbot help you. As for rogue like-like I'm still waiting on a hint for that (maybe I should beg :) because I have no clue what the reinventing the wheel means) Good Luck!!

  mm, kirima, Your Highness, (oh man, how much I wish for the day, when I'll finally solve "rouge-like-like" (perhaps, I'll address you ... with all respect ... sister-in-thoughts from that moment on) , my Highness) lolz

I think, this level is much harder than d=4 how it is rated right now. I still have no idea for solution, but NO NO I'm not begging for clues - I hope, I only need more time for this to solve.

Some hard puzzle you created herewith, Gary. Keep on keeping on! :)

Aaaand of course, my deepest respects again to you, Your Highness!

  My solution (as well as Mom1's lovely speedrun) has almost nothing in common with the original - so the level is cooked. But I still like it!
