This level keeps people unbelieving... you aren't the first who asks :)
The short solution is exactly what author had in mind. Spring is there
just for symmetry with extra life in other corner. I wanted to place
spoon there, but it wasn't made when I created the level. Since we
already have a spoon, I'm commiting fixed version.

This is okay, afaik. Enigma levels, just like oxyd levels, are full of
junk stuff that you don't need :) It keeps player distracted from the
right solution :)

I just tried - the bolders aren't too fast at my box, but they soon fall
unsynced. Because of this, some of them get hit by laser randomly, which
turns their direction and completely ruins the level. I have no idea
what's wrong - this sync problem didn't used to be here...

Anyone else - do you experience the same behavior? The bolders ought to
be lined up in nice tidy grid (just like dancers, that's it). At my box,
they desync after one or two turns and are misaligned...
