Hoping some people could test this before I actually upload it. I spent quite a bit of time running through this, so all of the rooms are possible. I was trying to make it difficult, but hopefully still fun.

Hi Zack --

You don't seem to have actually attached anything for testing. Are you planning on using the Caravel Beta testing facility, or was this just an oversight?

Josh

Me neither - I was sort of close a few times, I think...

Let's say the rest of the level is a lot easier :)

(Oh, by the way, the room with Halph is quite easy to do if you leave the room after you've killed the roach...)

Although I'm not going to play any tar levels without a transparent patch...

I'm not sure you want my comments, but:

1. The entrance was some fun but pretty random.
2. 1E, Stupidly easy, are there going to be tougher ones like this?
3. These rooms seem a lot like orb/door puzzles. I'm not playing these.
4. Oh, I see a secret wall. What, it keeps dividing into a secret tunnel maze. Not fun.
5. Maybe I'll use the editor to see what the other rooms look like. The hold is NOT "edit by anyone". I guess I'm done.

I think this fixes the Halph room. Now hitting any of the first orbs seals the room. Also now the fuse continues regarless of whether you have opened the first gate. I've also opened it up to be worked on by anyone.

Thanks for the suggestions.

The first room of level 1 was probobly the best in the hold. The rest of level 1 was okay, until I saw the same puzzel over and over again (with the orbs and the bomb and the roaches)

The second level was way better. I'm sorry, I just don't like repetative puzzels, like the hold deja vu..

Otherwise, o.k hold
