for #241

This is good but very easy. Can we think of a way of making it a little harder? Maybe it would be ok as the first level of a set.

Also, if you made it a little narrower (and probably had fewer rabbits) it could be s small world level #241

[colonelfazackerley]

I was thinking this could be shrunk to small world. But then I thought it's quite nice how it riffs on easy level 1.

[tttppp]

Yes, this is a novel level because it relies on earth and metal looking similar. The (relatively easy) challenge is to spot that not all the blocks are metal.

[andybalaam]

But see #440 for my opinion that they should not look to similar. It is kind of the visual equivalent of poking people in the eye while playing to make the game more difficult.

What about this:

It's a bit smaller

[andybalaam]

Looks good

[andybalaam]

Could work for #241

[andybalaam]

Can we think of a way of adapting this to make it harder? @tttppp always likes a challenge. ..

[tttppp]

I think a metal and earth maze might be good.

[andybalaam]

Yeah, definitely liking the idea of a maze you have to dig through, possibly with an annoying lack of floor at certain points, to remind you about gravity.

[tttppp]

Also, it's much harder to go up than down. This could mean that some routes through the maze weren't possible. (Eg Lack of Bridges, or earth directly above the rabbits).

[andybalaam]

Yes

[andybalaam]

Closing until someone comes up with a way to make it harder.

I guess
