Hello, everyone! This is my second hold. The first one's somewhere on the boards, but has fallen by the wayside- I'll probably do a TCP update eventually, but until then, it's dead.

Anyway, here's a short little hold- one level with twelve puzzles. Eac of the puzzles is inspired (some more loosely than others) by a different song from a rock album. The puzzles are in the same order as the songs, and it's not an obscure album. The first person to guess what the album is gets a cookie. :) (Oh, and some mod points.)

As for story? No. This hold was definitely not made for story, (Although I did throw something together.)

So, any comments/suggestions/veiled threats?

Nice little hold.
Most of the rooms were pretty easy but still interesting and it has a nice look and feels like you've put a lot of good work into it.

1N 4E was the only challenging room and was my favourite.

What is the point in the force arrow in 1N?

PS: No idea about the album, but then I know nothing about that sort of music at all :?

Pretty enjoyable rooms, fun to play, too. I have no idea what the album is though...

Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean in your secreted comment, Fish. Could you please clarify?

Actually, playing through the room again I realise why that door is necessary.
Sorry O:-

All righty then.

As for the arrow in 1N? It's there to force precision, or something like that. I made that room several months ago, so I forgot what I was thinking.

It's certainly possible to solve the room without using the force arrow rotator. See attached demo.

Oh and I've just realised I referred to the wrong element in my previous post. :~( It's the force arrow rotator (and the force arrow guarding it) that there's no point in.

You're not supposed to be able to solve it if you hit the rotator. It was intended as a trap.

Alrighty, then.

Anyone have any other objections, or shall I submit the hold?

It's a nice, not so hard hold and I have no objections at all. You should go for it (: .

3N4E

No matter what I try (there are few things to try), I can't get past the two eyes at 17,20 in 3N4E. I'm surprised nobody else has written requesting for assistance before me. What am I missing?
