I\'m only on level 8, and it SUCKS BAD.

2 times south 3 times east

The room with the 10 eyes, a snake and two roachspawners and the damned tar. If you spend too long getting past the snake and eyes and tarbabies, you cannot get to the tarmother. Grrr.

Any hints?

Go for the tar mama first. Ignore all of the eyes but those you have to kill, and as soon as you get to the mama, there should be a way to bury the snake in the babies. Easy after that.

I go for the eyes first, and the tar mama second. Here\'s how I deal with the eyes:

q means rotate counterclockwise, w means rotate clockwise. In case your control settings are different from mine.

Starting from the leftmost entry square:
8888888888888 (first eyeball killed)
7777 (four eyes are lined up, ready to be skewered)
88888 (you made an eye-kabob)
qq (last five eyes are now lined up in a single file)
44444 (On the last move, the tar mama will grow, and all the eyes are dead. You have ample time to make your way to the tar mama before she grows again)

Thanks for the hint/solution, Fatass.

I am astonished that you can REMEMBER individual moves and sequences of moves.

You\'re welcome. BTW, I didn\'t remember the individual moves. I just loaded up the room, resolved it, and wrote down my first 30 moves.
