Hi all,
I hate level 17! It's all about efficiency as the scroll says, but I'm everything but efficient .
Anyway, I 've solved most of the rooms, but I really need a few hints on this one: I understand that I need to clear out all the tar (1) before entering the corridor (2), but the problem is that I can't seem to find an efficient way of doing it, it grows faster than I can clear it.
Any hint would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Oops, never mind my post above...
how can I have been so stupid? Just by looking at the room image that I posted I noticed something that made me realize how to easily beat this room
I guess one can be efficient in more ways than one...

Wow... I never noticed the easy way out. I always cleared out the tar completely first.

Me too...and it doesn't really take that long, so no big deal. But give yourselves some credit...those breakable walls are much harder to see when actually in the game. The DROD room image thing really enhances the breakable walls.

Game on,

Yeah, that's my fault. There are two broken wall images per tile set, and I'm blindly using one of them. Same for the solid walls as well. I was thinking of enhancing the wall drawing soon - other than multi-square-doors, they're about the only thing left to get the online pics as good as the in-game screens.

You know, looking at that room, it occured to me that a brain would have fitted in well in it.

I just always noticed the green door at the bottom, and assumed it was there for a reason...

I didn't see the breakable walls either and cleared the tar.

I think I'm the only one who saw the broken wall and didn't know what it meant and cleared all the tar anyway.

Seriously though, its really really not that hard to clear all the tar. Tar's been in nearly every level since 8 up to 17. Unless you want to take the easy way out, just put all those skills you learned from all the tar before to use.

I haven't had trouble noticing the breakable walls, although I still sometimes ended up clearing the tar anyway.

You could probably use clearing the tar in this room to practice being efficient at it. Then go have a
