The level which I thought was too hard to beat was a bit different from this one - there were multiple layers of cloth around the armadillo which made it a lot more volatile - and frustrating!

Good thing I tested it!
(Oh, and I already recieved more solutions by now than I expected in total!)

Ja. Frustrating is not always interesting! Good thing you tried it out first! :wink:

yes, I noticed this level is guilty breaking the rule:

Keep small gaps between longer runs of iron. This will detach them and prevent most problems with strangely interacting solutions.

Although I don't mind at all though, as it makes some solutions possible which otherwise wouldn't be!

There are gaps in the sheets, I just didn't put any between the bars - probably because it was never a problem before, but you're right that I should have done so. Sorry for that.

Anyway, just think of it as a small punishment for using the anchor points in the center instead of those on the upper and lower border ;)

I probably should have just used some l33t .lvl haxxoring to put a single metal bar/sheet all across the center :twisted:

Having one long sheet might still be a problem if it lends itself to launcher and catcher physically affecting one another :idea: :( . Otherwise that sounds good.

I would have preferred more gaps on this one.

I dunno, looks like you got them trained pretty well! Just a little bit farther and that unicorn will have it sitting in the goal for you :)

How much do the unicorns cost anyway? Hopefully less than a rocket!

This is one bugger of a level for sure :)

Anyone that gets anything over the 7k mark should feel like they have accomplished something. Looking forward to seeing this one on Sunday!
