  Okay - I'll delete it shortly. Thanks!

I don't suppose there is a very good reason, but I liked the idea, darn it. I was thinking it'd be cool to reward folks who noticed the pattern and/or were thinking a little bit "out of the box". Of course, I suppose the jig is up with the fact that I accidentally FORCED people to find the shortcut in order to solve it. Maybe I could do a v3 without it, although I'd have to find something else to do in addition to make it seem worth it.

  You can now delete levels yourself (if you uploaded them and have the 'key' icon); just press 'del.'

Is there any good reason to have shortcuts in levels?

  Max - I forgot to mention that I did leave a fairly good clue (in my opinion) to the shortcut. In any case, v2 is now uploaded and should fix the problem. Please try it both ways to see if you like it any better - obviously, the shortcut method will be necessary to obtain the speed record =).

Tom - Please delete this level when you get a chance since v2 is now available. Thanks in advance.

  My apologies . . . the first part is meant to be solvable and ultimately end in the second part. The teleport is meant to be a shortcut. Unfortunately, I am once again an idiot and made the first part unsolvable - I just picked up on this last night. I'm going to fix it and upload a new version and then ask that the original be deleted. Forthcoming.

  Aaaarrrggghhhh!!!!! Very annoying! Really, after noticing a pattern in teleports most escapists can't be bothered to try each one... I was wondering why the left part was so completely bewildering. The right puzzle is very nice and enjoyable though -- why not just keep that and cut out the other nonsense?

  Added speedrun: 255 moves (old: 274).
Man! That's one heck of a red herring.

  I decided to try Funhouse Warp again despite its major weaknesses. I think you'll find this one significantly harder - hopefully I didn't overlook a slew of glaring mistakes this time . . .
