G'morning everyone,

I've got through all of level eleven, apart from this one room. I obviously have to manipulate all the roaches into the middle of the room, but I can't seem to do it without getting a roach stuck on a force arrow. One roach seems to get stuck in one of the corners while I walk around the other sides, and I just can't seem to get them to the middle? Is there an optimal direction to enter from? I've tried all of them (apart from the one with the force arrows, as I can no longer get to the room with them in), but it doesn't seem to help.

Thanks,
Stu

mostly it's just "watch every move carefully" - never let move "repeat" - click, see what happens, click, see what happens...

I'm not sure I remember exactly how I did this room, but the overall strategy I employed (after much trial and error) was to figure out which roach has the farthest to go to get to the center, and move that one first. The safest place for the other two to be (ie the place where they are least likely to step on an arrow by accident) while moving the first roach is their starting points.

I've been looking at this room for hours now. I've tried using the
hints above, but I always wind up in some sort of trap, especially
once the SW roach is in the center. I can get the other two roaches together underneath, but then something has to get trapped.

I certainly don't have the most efficient solution, but I never dealt with more then one roach at a time.

For me, the ability to solve the room hinges on...

Game on,

Hello,
I've put the 3 roaches in the center, but after, the bomb only kill 1 roach and I can't kill the 2 others .
Did I miss something ?

Are you, by any chance, lighting the fuse, then staying there until the bomb explodes?

For what it's worth from a player that typically takes x3 longer than the best scores, I think starting counterclockwise is not necessary, and the best hint I can give the really challenged players like me is not to make any extra assumptions about that danged fuse that aren't true.

<<start by going counterclockwise>>

For those who are stuck at the very end of this level,
but balk at using demo. Be aware that there is a slight
asymmetry in the grid.
