leaving level without penguins?

Hello,

I've just played level 2 'rain' by Gerrit Holl & Timen v.d. Berg of Contributions 2002 (as late as now

) and I could finish the level without letting the penguins getting into the exit. But I thought the penguins always had to leave first?

Oops? Interesting... I'll check this...

Obviously you haven't noticed it Supaplex-like exit and it does not care about the penguins nor the bulbs.
And bless the author for that, because it would be impossible to finish the level otherwise.

It does???
Gaw! Wish I knew that sooner!

Thats incredibly useful!
Hopefully Holger wont change it

Oh, speaking of the normal exit, maybe you should make so the player is unable to use it when there are penguins still on the level, i find it extremely annoying when you exit a level only to find you havnt completed it due to penguins still being out

That might indeed make it easier, but there are some levels that actually depend on that 'trick' - you have to manoeuvre between open exits without entering them while the penguins are still on the level.

I had never known that, either! Thanks for help, bojster.
