So here's a fun fact about this room. See, the whole thing is a bridge, which means you can clear it by, say, dropping the bridge.

C h a l l e n g e !
 Clear the room without dropping the bridge. 


Or: "Well, there's 1119 moves down the drain."

I thought I had covered that possibility...but I didn't count on thinking outside the box. Well done!

Game on,

I actually did that, not realizing that there was a bridge.

In fact, I didn't realize that there was a bridge until just now.

Odd, because for some reason, I complained about how the Iceworks bridges were really unobvious in the beta.

Yeah, I figured coming right after the bridge level, people would realize it...but I should probably have put another bridge elsewhere in the level to show what it looked like in Iceworks. Actually, I thought that the Iceworks bridge graphic was going to be changed but it never was, and then I forgot that it might be an issue. Or maybe it was originally not Iceworks? I don't even remember now.

Game on,

Game on,

Not terribly outside the box, really. I ended up doing it that way largely because JtRH trained me to look for that kind of thing. The bridge tiles really could be more distinctive.

"Outside the box" was actually meant to be a pun about how you achieve this challenge. ;)

When I did this room I actually didn't see the bridge until well after it would have been useful.
Basicly I wasted 1/2 hour of my life trying to get that one last blob of tar, finally got it, walked off the last trap door and saw the bridge drop.

*sigh*
