Yes, I see now at Krissz' site (where I play BD daily) that some players have indeed discovered this "shortcut" in both caves.... however not for the highscore runs because after all playing this way takes, in the end, more time than the intended way! :D

Well I'm actually using all my free "BD time" for creating new games. But I've heard so many good things about this site that I feel I should check it out sometime soon!

I have even done this some months ago, but somehow I never came to check it out... I'm keeping it in mind and I'm going to use one of my next free days for it!

*digging out an ancient topic"
Krissz just showed me an easy solution for one of my caves that I completely forgot about! Dustin's BD 10, cave "Magic Square 4" has some walls to blast through and lots of fireflies looping in a big circle. My intention was to force the player to distract the fireflies to go inside their track, similar to BD2-H, but it's relatively easy to push a boulder into their way and distract them that way. Oops... ;D
