New Level -- Simple 023

The "Shadow" of "Muzozavr" strikes again, with another weird bug that had been discovered ages ago by the recently returned TheoX. I don't think anyone has ever really taken advantage of this bug in a level before... aside, of course, from TheoX himself... but just to make sure that TheoX won't solve the whole thing in a minute, I tried to misdirect as far away from the solution as possible and used a different version of said bug. :P

Can you figure out the riddle of the red timer? :wink:

EDIT: Apologies for the first five downloaders -- I made a mistake. Download the revised version, which does require the bug I was talking about. Amnon's bugless loophole has been made into a level called "Amnon's Analytical Approach" and posted under the "Muzozavr" account.

Very nice level, but I could see no bug here - only fair play.

I did use it, Muzo!

EDIT: OK, download the revised version, please! The "Amnon's Analytical Approach" solution should no longer work. :wink: I'll make it into a separate level, though, because it's AWESOME. 8) As for now, the revised version of "Simple 023" requires you to use "Shadow's Shifty Solution". :wink:

I did not stop trying and finally found the bug - very nice, thanks!

Oh, just found your revised version, but I did solve it the buggy way on the original!

Congrats! :D I hope the "Shadow's Shifty Solution" was worth it. :wink: The revised version is just a quick fix, really, so if you found the buggy way on the original you may not even notice the difference. It's a very small one.

In hindsight, I wonder whether this is a bug or a feature - thinking about physics, it is possible!

I don't think it's a feature. It's not used in the official Platinum levels. It's not mentioned anywhere, too, not even in the editor tutorial. And besides, this trick produces some weird results. If you place a square button on the tile that's supposed to be "affected" with this trick, it won't be pressed. So I guess it's a bug.

Jeepers! I almost missed this one :shock: thinking Amnon's Analytical Approach was the "fixed" version instead of two completely different solutions :oops:

Absolutely magnificent level, Muz; I absolutely adored the absurd nature of this glitch :lol: Many thanks!

Oh, and as usual, My video solution~
