      the prison looks really great, all these details, designs, the roof etc. I like the idea of the CCTV. And the setup looks very similar to an actual prison. I personally like prison break, bank rob kinda stuffs . however, i could have enjoyed it more if the interior is a little bit more visable. because it took me quite a number of deathsss =P to figure it out the shock bot.

      Well, prisonlife is hard :D...

      You should be mostly able to see where they are, but I guess that without seeing the shape of the internal mechanism it's a bit difficult to figure out how to enforce the bots out of your way. It is a very simple layout though.

      Thanks for playing and the feedback!

      I so wanted to love this level. It has all the hallmarks of an excellent level, particularly embodying a theme very well and throughout. Like TR O mentioned, the art and all the details are great. Unlike him, I actually thought the first part
      of controlling the cell doors and getting past the zapper bots
      was the best part. Where this level failed was
      that I could get by the zapper bots too easily and thus was able to shortcut the game to the finish.
      I also encountered a situation where
      one zapper bot stepped on the win block for me.
      I hope you can fix this easily and resubmit. Thanks for a great submission!

      Thanks for the feedback!

      I now also discovered the silly shortcut, hope most players are too disctracted by al the other stuff to see it. I could place a zapper bot outside of the cells, but that would make it a guard and then a guard and inmates would just walk past each other, ruining the theme.

      I also could...
      remove the first boat to remove the possibility of a zapper bot stepping on win block, but I don't want to remove this short-cut distraction. This would also not solve the inmates shortcut, as that could still be used to easily enter the water. I tested the level myself many times, and only got a zapper bot on the first boat a few times. Since there are only 4 on the lower floor, I guess it takes lucky timing to let them block each other all the way to the 2nd boat.

      Will leave this level as is, as I don't see a good solution that does not take away something else, but will keep this stuff in mind for later levels.

      The only thing I can think of:
      That is if you want to keep the illusion of a shortcut - is to put a zapper block beside the middle of the first boat - either exposed on top of the stone block (instead of a rail piece) or hidden underneath it. Nobody really likes hidden zapper blocks, but...

      That, or just move the first boat back away from the second by one block space.

      I must let you know though, that my first instinct was to send B to the red brick pad of four blocks by the boats away from the other inmates. Sending him down into the water was what I tried only after I found no other way to solve the level without using the shortcut.

      Reviewing your first levels... ;)
      Very nice one, with great history and visual design, deception paths. It is a pity the huge shortcut so I can't give the maximum rate (players, if you see it DON'T use it and don't miss a very nice game play).
      Thanks for sharing!
      I had no problem with the zaps, just opened the gates to exist B's cell and then close it quickly again.
