I always try to do my best. Reach unreachable, jump over unjumpable...

I wonder how this bug works, from technical side. You jump over the hole and you suddenly find yourself in the forest area being able to run right without any limits (I hope so). Does it mean levels are created of linked areas (like in Prince of Persia), but they are much much bigger with only several areas possible to reach without cheats/bugs? This would explain my trip beyond the hole.

Sounds like good idea for a game. "eMTe's Trip Beyond The Hole And What He Found Here".

Hint hint. :D

Look at the editor. It seems the levels in the game consist of a neverending (or itself repeating) number of areas that are just limited by the obstacles you set (like walls or holes). Once you are able to overcome an obstacle you were not supposed to, you can go on forever and ever...

Btw: What you did reminds me of the book "Ender's Game" in which child soldiers are trained with (computer) games and Ender does something that is similar to the thing you did. Does it mean you are a tactical genius and will be both saviour and scourge of mankind some day in the future??? :scared:
