  Hey, it's your call. But I think it's much more scintillating than challenging...

  You don't think it provides a scintillating challenge?

  Okay, that makes sense. Kind of surprising if you don't take the time to think through what is happening though... Go ahead and delete this one if you want because it's pretty pointless now.

  Oops, I take that back. I misunderstood what the level was doing since the animation is a little misleading. It's easier to understand if you replace the trap in the foreground with plain ol' floor. Consider the state when the player is standing on the panel and the hugbot is on the target of that panel. What happens is two steps: first, the player steps off the panel and the trap vanishes to the bizarro world. Then, the bot steps off the floor (or hole, in your example), which doesn't trigger the trap. But he steps onto the panel again, which makes the trap re-appear. Because traps only turn into holes when an entity steps off of them, the trap never changes. The animation is a bit misleading here (it should probably show these as two separate steps), but the behavior is orthodox.

  This appears to violate conservation of matter, and so it must be a bug. I'll take a look at it.

  Just wanted to know if this behavior is orthodox...
