If you check the Use safe moves checkbox, the game will prevent you from moving if the move would cause a robot to kill you, unless the only way to survive is to teleport. If you check the Use super safe moves checkbox, the game will prevent you from making any move in this case, so that you are forced to teleport. This reduces the level of difficulty. You can always uncheck these if you find the game too easy.
