      I'll give you points for the pleasing design (art is nice) and that the title is very fitting. That being said, you may want to give credit to Gepeto for the pattern he found for the headless R bot if that is where you took the idea from. Also, I found that the patience required was a bit long and there was nothing else to do in the level. Thanks for your creativity!

      @trids try this and "no walking".....i have used 2 new exploits....I hope you will like them
    • Scare Crow
      @nGord ooh man...he had already discovered it......:(:(:(....ok did you solve "no walking"......has anyone discovered that concept too.....o_Oo_Oo_O.....if not please solve and rate it
    • Frenzies
      @Scare Crow Do you mean floating because of the motor? That can easily be done by putting the motor on the bottom of B. Sunny Sunset discovered it, I discovered a way to move while using it, and like 2 other people I don't know discovered it without knowing that other people already know about it.
    • Scare Crow
      @Frenzies I am a bit late at discovering things then i guess.....:(:(:(:(:(.......still if you wish please play the level and rate it if you find it interesting
    • Scare Crow
      @nGord btw the ether concept is also valid for the B bot....has anyone discovered this too
    • Frenzies
      @Scare Crow What do you mean by ether? And you should probably play levels so that you'll know if someone already discovered those mechanics.
    • Scare Crow
      @Frenzies Ether here refers to the invisible resistances that a headless bot faces......and yes you are right i don't play a lot...i spend most of the time in experimenting and making levels.....probably i should play more
    • nGord
      No, I have not come across a headless B bot unless he was attached to something or just had something other than an eye for a head. You may have found something if you're implying that if you send a headless B in a direction and he changes direction on his own! What we do know is that if a normal B encounters a low ceiling (or even if just a rail above his head) and if he was in motion then he'll continue in motion until he can find a space that doesn't have anything immediately overhead.

      As for the headless R bot pattern, it's actually awesome if you found this yourself too!! We need more people experimenting with the game's elements and physics to find all the glitches so that we can determine if they are just bugs (things that were meant to happen but don't) or exploits (things that were not meant to happen but do). Well done!! If you want to share your observations or learn more about the headless R bot conversation that others are having, check out @Gepeto 's 3-10-4 level. Really, it should be entered as a forum post under the Bugs thread. Perhaps one of the two of you can start that and reference each other's levels that use it.

      As for your No Walking level, I'm sorry, I've started to refuse to play any level with free draggables. There is just too much randomness for me and it takes all the fun out. I prefer intellectual challenges such as code breaking, mazes, figuring out how to pass an obstacle, finding partially hidden things, and general adventure puzzles. I have a list of my all time favourite levels on my profile "information" page if you'd like. Thanks for your enthusiasm! I'm indebted to all the level creators here like yourself!
    • Scare Crow
      @nGord Thats comforting:):):)......i will try to apply that discovery on a future level
      nGord likes this.
    • Scare Crow
      @nGord pardon me...but i requested u to play the level to see that with the given mechanism the bot can fly.....thats it......the randomness is just intended to be a misdirection.....and thank you for letting rookies like me to know the likes and dislikes of experienced players like you.....i will try to make my future levels to fit these choices you have provided
    • nGord
      Thanks! I took another look at your No Walking... and got B to fly! Very cool! I hadn't seen that before. Not particularly my cup of tea, but I love the fact that you found something new! Again, you may want to tell others about it through the Bugs forum.

      As for my preferences, that's very nice of you to consider what I like. In business they have a rule though: the quickest way to loose all your customers is by trying to please everyone. In other words, trying to please me specifically could very well take away your special talents and gifts to this community.

      Rather than trying to please others, keep showcasing what you enjoy! I'm sure you'll find some avid fans! And if you do want a tip, just try to stay clear of some things that most people don't like. There is a great discussion here.

      Thanks again! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
