> Tom: Most of the old standbys have been silent for a while. Speaking of which.. can we expect any levels from you anytime soon? =)

I've been making rooms in another puzzle game lately. However, I've gotten that project almost finished, so I had some time for Escape editing today. However, I got this message when trying to upload a level:

"upload failed: fail (bug) bad lev"

Any ideas what might be causing this? The level has a valid solution and I've got the latest version of the game.

Fungus can be food!

I bet none of us will be able to eat mushrooms again after reading these posts! Actually, the mushroom is not a food, it is a fungus! Yuk!

tee hee, thanks! I'm glad you like the robots and the rockets.

The bomb tutorial seems to be one of the trickier ones, for whatever reason...
[spoiler!] Clearer hint: The fuse on the bomb at the bottom right is too short for the bots to make it all the way over and push the button. So you need to find a way to get a bomb with a longer fuse in there.

I am so freaked out! It's my first time ever hearing of these things and I found one in my bathroom tonight, near the bathtub lining! I'm generally a pretty clean person, and scrub my bathroom regularly. At first I thought it was a seashell that had dropped on the bathroom floor, from my container by the tub...but wow! was I surprised to find an icky, mushroom instead! I screamed so loud I must have woken my neighbors. I've only been living in my apartment for five months now, but this is the first time I've seen anything like this. Pretty gross.

Funny story:

A while back I was Googling for clip art of rockets and robots, and some very funny cute robots turned up on about.com which I saved and used for a few of my desktop icons and stuff. Several weeks later, I was browsing around fontface, and found a really cool font I downloaded. I linked to the creator's page, and lo and behold, the same person with the bots! Which is a long way to say I love your stuff, man.

And now this game! I've finished nearly all the tutorials, but the bombs level is kicking my ass. I read your previous hint, but no dice. Maybe I'll just have to sleep on it like I did for the level just before...

Anyway, thanks for the awesome game!

I think this is the same problem that Kirima and Stephan had, but I'd love to take a look at the corrupted file to reassure myself. (you can e-mail it to [tom7 at cs cmu edu].) It sounds like this is definitely a problem with the editor. It's high on my list to figure it out and fix it, because nobody likes to have his savegame corrupted!! Thanks and sorry for the bug...

Hi Tom. Today after editing a new level and saving it, I closed Escape. Now I open escape and get ERROR (-1) next to the name of my esp file.
I saved the corrupted file and replace it with the last automatic backup I found. Do you want the corrupted file to take a look ? (My OS is windows XP)

I don't like to totally delete levels because then we lose the comments and speedruns, etc.

I actually just renamed them yesterday. Just stay out of (like don't subscribe to) the "deleted levels" collection and you won't see them. Also, I have rudimentary controls in place to keep swear words out of the names of newly uploaded levels now.

A while back there was some noise about a couple of levels having names that were not, ah, G-rated. I'd like to share this game with some kids I know, but I don't want to go through their amazement/giggles/etc. at the level names. Any way to change those few?
