  It also doesn't discriminate against using the mouse to press the buttons, or playing more than once (by pressing enter at death, or closing and opening level).

Tyler, Please play some of the higher rated levels like OneLeft (full implementation) or any of the Memory Hole series, and see for your self what players want. If your even reading this, that is a good thing, because the people who play this game enough to keep it alive don't like these levels. I know that when I started playing, quite a few years before I registered, I didn't know what good levels were. However, I quote another player here ( wowei or kirima/mm), that in many games, the fun is in getting surprised or in some hidden information, and that some players like this game simply because it is not one of those games.

If your levels are going to rely on hidden information for gameplay, try to be EXTREMLY innovative and creative, as these techniques get old immediately after it's debut. For example, see noname's "Guesswork" or Joshua Bone's "Combination Lock", which were quite clever and only practical to solve in the level editor. But these levels also need to be made in moderation. try to be clever, not difficult. trying to be hard will bring nothing. I am glad that this only has 4 choices, but this level build has been used in about 125 levels, and that's just a guess. This isn't what we want to see. So please try to make other types of levels, as guessing levels rarely are good.

  Agreed. At least under this ruleset we are allowed to use 'b'... but should I flag this as a spoiler?

  Isn't it nice to play a game that refuses to honor such stupid decrees?
