In places it *is* kind of frustrating being surrounded by gun-toting 
robots and being completely unarmed.

Did you know there's an extra challenge where you redo one of the 
levels, except that you can't kill any of the robots? As far as I can 
tell, this level is mathematically impossible, but anyway...

I think the idea of the "challenges" is a bit lame. Hey, redo this 
puzzle you already did, except now it's even more tedious.

Still, I liked the game in general, even if it was a little too hard in 
places.
