  Peter: if you mean a laser hit, then laser death is only appicable at the *end* of your turn. (That's why some levels even have you whimsically starting in the path of a laser!)

Cute!

  Used Hugbot to block laser; technically a "hit" was registered, but didn't die.

  Max: That's basically the solution I used, too. I tried a little to make it trickier, but I wasn't able to. (Also, for 'story', think of a dodgeball/"shark" hybrid or something like that.)

jason: I don't understand your question. If you solve it in fewer moves, it should save that solution in your player file instead. But you can't upload a speedrun unless it is better than the one on the server.

Damn! I have an unfinished level called "Dodgeball" with the same exact theme (also inspired by your comment on Jason's level). As with yours, mine is quite problematic in terms of reproducing a "realistic" dodgeball "story", while maintaining a level of challenge. The problem with this one is that you can just walk up and down in the 3rd and 4th rows from the bottom and then let hugbots walk above you to shield you from the lasers. I really like the concept though... Maybe revise it a little if you feel like it? Meanwhile, I'll work some more on mine. ;)

  Hey! When I beat my own record, how come I don't get to record it?

  Easy, but my (unfounded) fear on jcreed's level made me want to see if I could embed this "classic" game. ;)
