Yeah... I know how the movement order works. Maybe I was just being lazy. |

Actually, the number can be deduced logically by watching for patterns. I do wish there were a compact way to show that the bot on the bottom is #8, though. But if you think about it, once you realize that numbers are significant to the puzzle, it should at least become clear that you want to find a bot that has a higher number than the bot at the bottom, and it's at least reasonable to logically deduce which of the bots at the top has the highest number. |

Added speedrun: 42 moves (old: 43).
I cheated the bot number in the editor. But that can't be so bad. It only saved me from some trial and error. |

FYI - I got it eventually, but only based on your spoiler comments. For those of us unfamiliar with the concept of movement order, a hint is a good idea. This level is a good way to learn about it, however. |

Well I don't mind this level being partly about figuring out what the heck is going on, so we might as well just keep everything the way it is. ;) |

I guess it would be possible, but it would interfere with animation, and I'm not sure there are many situations where it's an important design concern. (I suppose, like there are keys to see other hidden information, there should be a "show bot numbers" key, though, when playing.) In this case it wouldn't have been hard to draw into the level the fact that the bot waiting at the end is #8, right? |

Yeah, I was thinking about that. Actually, couldn't you implement something in the level design to give level designers the option to show or hide the numbers of certain bots? Because this level would make sense more quickly if the bottom bot was marked as "8" and the other numbers remained hidden (on the other hand, it would be ruined if all the numbers were displayed). This option could get rid of a lot of the inherent randomness in multiple bot levels too. But I do understand how this might be overcomplicated so it's your call of course. But either way, I think there should be some way to distinguish different hugbots from one another -- maybe slightly different shadings or something along those lines? |

Fantastic! It went from confusingly easy to impossible to ahhh to mildly difficult puzzle. Unfortunately, I don't think many people are going to understand this puzzle unless they've been making lots of bot levels... |
