I'm sorry about the wall collision, I know it's very bad and if I could have made it better on time, I would have! \rYou would need a big resolution to see the full level (I wanted the whole maze to be visible all at once and maybe it wasn't the best idea...).\rAs for the light that goes off after you light another one, it was first a performance tweak (first time I use surface and raytraced shadows and it's very resource intensive when badly used like here) that I actually thought was a good addition to the mechanic to increase the feeling of being lost."},{"author_name":"badlydrawnrod","author_uid":"745","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 10:31pm","epoch":1387491960,"text":"Clever.
