I noticed something, which might not be a bug strictly speaking, but is nevertheless quite a strange behaviour:
- turn an orange wheel to attract aliens on some level
- kill one of the aliens glued to the wheel with a stone, causing the turning wheel to be destroyed in the explosion
- the remaining aliens all are still attracted to the square where the wheel used to be

So you end up with a gathering of aliens around nothing, while I would have expected those little green bast**** to harass me as soon as the wheel disappears. I have a recording on Level 52 Fruity if you want.

No bug. The exact behaviour of the original Emerald Mines game. Surprised you hadn't noticed that before.

I confess I never played the original Emerald Mines game. And there are very few levels where this behaviour can actually happen. This might prove that I'm not that experienced yet : Now the real question is: are there levels where this can be used to improve the score :

If the duration of the wheelturning isn't changed I would guess not? But with bd4 you never know :

The duration of the wheelturning isn't affected by that, as far as I know. I noticed that in my numerous (and finally successful) attempts to solve level 79 Reef.
