Ok I feel like a right prat as this room doesn't seem too difficult. However, I find that I can trap and kill plenty ofthe roaches however when I get to the last of the four orbs I can't make the little blighters get within the boundary so that all can be slain. I've tried changing the order in which I hit the orbs to just get the same problem, and yes I am certain that I used the space in the first 3 orbs to maximum effect, and I've checked, on the last one there is definitely enough space for the roaches I just can't get them in

Oooooh I was pretty sure I'd tried that but I can't have - they went in like a charm :-)

I don't suppose you could cast some light on a similar (I think) problem in Quarce North Twice East? I find I either trap them on the wrong side of a yellow barrier with no way of retrieving them or just can't get them inside the barrier. And I take it the bottom right is a red herring?

Is it wrong that this is one of my favourite levels? A little creative and logical thinking feeds my brain.

I must say that I very much liked Level 9 too.

The same goes for Level 6 and I can’t understand why Erik is so defensive about it.

It's not level 9 that I hated exactly - just that one particular room. I seem to remember spending ages on it the first time I played.
I did like level 6 though - and level 15.

Level 9 was one of my favorites the first time through too. I think it was just such a nice divergence from the hell that was level 8 that it really stayed in my mind. Level 19, I believe, was also a favorite of mine for the same reason that it was a nice little break from the previous levels.

Game on,

I think 9 and 23-25 are my favourites, the last 3 just on the basis of being really well made if nothing else.
