      - I believe this is my first posted puzzle. Previous postings have been documentation of bugs/exploits/etc.

      Please enjoy

      I tried it, but after running to the left side I don't have any idea to get further. Is it one of those skill-things? Looks that I can't handle the categories here till now ...
    • trids
      @Sorella M. - don't give up! It does rely on an exploit or two, but when reach the goal you'll experience a tremendous sense of achievement.
      :)

      It was inspired by "Deadly Serious" by @retrograde

      I'm shure about that lool, the word to underline is WHEN. Lets see, whether I get the helpful idea sometimes

      @Sorella M. - I was just adding the spoiler above. Hope it helps

      I haven't gotten it yet but one thing I notice is the flipper is very hard to move. One thing to know is that almost all pieces restrict the free movement of the motor when placed next to it, even the triangle block you used even though it looks like there is space for the motor to rotate the physics model actually does cause friction between the triangle and a motor. I think only some of the pipes right next to a motor allow free motion. I don't know if that is why I am having trouble with the level?

      I did it! I died a lot but I did it :)
      I begun to think that it's too hard but in fact the simple way is the best.

      Now that was unexpected.
      B can walk over an R with zapper head to the other wall without getting zapped? Is that the first move?

      Over B's dead body, R gets his revenge. "No one walks over me, without a return of the offense!"

      Is true, there is a certain degree of misdirection. But it really is very easy once you know how.
      The flapper at the back is a red herring. I thought that by leaving it sticky and rough, it would be a clue to its uselessness. Didn't mean for it to be frustrating, sorry if it is. On the "flip" side, you'll be much more relieved to see how easy it is in the end.

      Fun and unexpected and B is insulted at the abuse! The glitchy flipper should be fixed though.
    • trids
      @B Hill - That sounds intriguing!
      B does not have to die in this one. While the risk comes from the zappers, it's only two of them that are a threat - all the others can be avoided.
    • B Hill
      @trids I still won't call it easy even knowing the solution. Still takes some effort at timing and luck to get
      B in the correct "position" and R to realize his opportunity. :p
      Great fun though.

      @Gepeto - Yes, you're right. The simple way is the best. But are you sure that it's the same? The solution is 99% repeatable (i confess that i sometimes get my timing wrong, myself!)
    • trids
      @B Hill - No no! No luck is necessary
      "Deadly Serious" by @retrograde is all about the ability to walk on zappers. The solution here relies on that heavily, although here B doesn't actually walk on any zappers and doesn't have to die
      I strongly dislike puzzles that rely on luck.
