Aawww, come on... You're right when you say the player doesn't know what
awaits him, but what's the point in making such a level ? If the squares
that can't be seen aren't safe, then the level is just unsolvable ! Plus,
Karen asked for a new scroll mode in a particular case that doesn'"t fit
these conditions.

And we're not forced to remove the overlap in EVERY landscape...
