Hey, everyone! This is the first chapter of what will be (hopefully) a long, drawn-out story, told over a series of holds, about Halph. (Don't worry, Beethro still shows up.) This hold is more story-based than puzzle-based, as the puzzles are pretty easy.

I need all the feedback I can get, whether good or bad. Just say why you like or dislike it, please. Thanks!

I'm not going to mention all the lack of end commands, but I will tell you this:

But a little more effort into decorating the hold. You have a lot of open spaces with plain checkered tiles, which looks kind of bad. Especially in a town square. Try to make some rooms look like actual rooms, not just boxes.

Hmm, I can see what you mean by it being more focused on story than puzzle.

Great hold though, you defiantly have a knack for story telling.

I think you should use the more obvious crumbly walls, as it's a bit of a cheap trick to have it like you do.

Not a bad hold! Is "Return to Smitemaster Hall' the last level?

I'm back! Sorry about the delay- my Internet was down. Here's the new and improved hold, with end commands! (I had no clue what those were)

Nothing, apparently. The holds attached to this thread are bit-by-bit identical.

Perhaps you (=Morior) uploaded the wrong file?
