Can someone please offer a few hints on how to get through this screen? I\'ve done the rest of level 16 and now I\'m completely stumped. Tried downloading the demos but it looks like in Webfoot DROD the switches behaved differently and left the bottom-right corner wide open.

Got it, thanks.

I think the hardest thing about some of these rooms is that you never know if you\'re even going about it the right way. With a definite starting point you can try variations on a theme and know you\'ll get it eventually.

Just so you know, it is possible to beat that room starting from the south entrance. Try to improve your DROD skills Tuttle by figuring out how to beat it from the south.

I just can't crack this, if I can get the roaches blocked in where I need them then the tar mother just rather inconsiderately creates babies in areas I can get to... :/

You just have to be careful. If the mother is making too many babies in one spot, have the roaches trapped somewhere else. Each section is trapped more or less in order, so you can concentrate on one at a time.

You guys took everything I hated from level 9, and added elements of pure unending rage from level 8.

And then, you put it on level 16 so I can't even make the joke that you just added them together! :(

That said: I realize this isn't really easy to do, but how many roaches should I put into each section, or which sections do I do first? (This does not appear to be synonymous with 'what does the tar mother will first', so.)

Okay. I have managed to solve the issue of 'lols, corner tarbabies'. However, I can't see how to move the roaches and tarbabies in the upper right corner in such a way that I don't end up with more tarbabies + roaches than 22 without using the bottom right hand corner, which invariably develops 5 tarbabies + roaches at the bottom that I can't move.

Or.

I, uh, openly despise bumping my own threads for the sake of attention, but I still can't do this. See above post for, uh, further detail.

:) I did the room once again just for you. My solution is probably not even close to optimal (since I covered the whole room in tar).

Good luck!
