This is a 1-level hold that grew out of my experiments with room building. Most rooms are concept puzzles, but others are kind of pointless. It has around 20 rooms, no story, and a haphazard level layout.

I'm more interested in reports of significant problems, than in detailed critiques.

[This hold is now available in the Holds forum.]

I'm extremely frustrated with 3N2W. It's obvious what I need to do, I just can't do it.

I agree - it's asking a little much to get the snake to go up the path at the top at precisely the right move, especially considering snakes are not the easiest thing to control without having to worry about which move of the spawn cycle it is. I've been able to get it up the path one move too soon, and one move too late, but never on the right one

I dunno; I like 3N2W. It is fairly difficult, but I don't think it's that bad, once you figure out the key. (But if you don't know the key, or don't realize that there is a key, your chance of solving it is pretty slim.)

I like this room. The first one I've seen that makes use of the following fact about snakes, which is the key:

If 3N2W (which I solved without knowing the trick) is hard what about 2S? This room makes me feel like a looser. I'm not sure if there is also a trick but if somebody can post a hint will help me a lot.
According the hold, I finding it chalenging and fun. I still have few rooms to solve but I think the hold is ready for the Holds section

There's no trick really, it's just not easy to do. Are you having trouble dropping the traps, or killing the spiders?

After reading the hints, solving the room wasn't so hard. Thank you! So, two rooms + 1 secret room and I am the master
