      What I'd like to know is what makes B keep moving even though you tapped a square for him to stop on? This level does show a nice use of obstacles (such as the fan) to tap around. The water is a nice aesthetic feature. Thanks!

      @nGord B would try to avoid running into any two-grids-high space, so if you create a ceiling two grids above the ground he would keep running until he finds a spot not covered by the ceiling (or hits a dead end). By making the ceiling of a certain pattern, B would then keep stepping onto the next grid. Since B would not step back onto the previous grid, he would either keep moving forward, or circulate :D

      That is so good to know. Thank you for such a clear explanation!!

      I'm going to be on the lookout from now on. ;)

      @nGord - try this extreme example (step on any brick block)...

      @trids B is a little claustrophobic :p

      @trids That's awesome; love the title and author! Weird that B won't want to end the madness by stepping off the red bricks. Thanks!

      I'm out of words to describe how neat this level is.

      I loved the heavy use of the 2-block high feature, it is a perfect level to practice B-bot control techniques.

      Keep 'em coming man, looking forward to trying more of your creations <3

      Also,
      I solved it 1st time by using the auto-pilot trick on the 1st L-shaped draggable bypassing the rooftop ;)

      I just tried the level and did it with the same shortcut in no time!

      Yes, in fact it does work in there too since the 1st draggable set in both levels are identical, holy.. I have to replay all the original levels again with the knowledge I have now :eek:

      @Astral_Mage I figured it out just now as well. That's quite an unexpected shortcut :D

      Nice use of the cancel tap. Thanks!

      For the benefit of newbies encountering this and being very confused about what to do... this is the classic Home Security level with some additional traps. If B walks under a low ceiling, he will keep walking until he gets clear (claustrophobia). These low ceilings are cleverly designed to make B walk right into zappers. The key bit of strategy is
      to not let him.
      That is,
      when B starts veering off course, immediately tap again where B should go.
