Well, the player should use the pullers to get the turnstiles in the  
correct direction. It shouldn't be possible to turn the turnstile by  
wasting an extralife, so the level restarts if the player tries to  
"cheat". On the other hand, the level isn't done in a few minutes, so it's  
a bad idea to set ConserveLevel to FALSE at the beginning. I don't want  
anyone to play this level for 10 or 20 minutes and then restarting the  
level just because the player kills his marble accidentally. That would be  
really frustrating.

So it isn't possible to get the 0.92-behaviour?
