I just found out that if there are force arrows on the edge of a room, and you come in from the other side, you will land o nthe force arrow even if it is pointing towards you. Is this intentional?

I think this is probably a bug, as the game should probably make sure you're not making an illegal move as it does when you try to move to a new room through a solid wall, but it's one that sort of fixes itself; you're not supposed to enter that way anyway, so you're prevented from continuing.

Yes, but there might be force arrows over only part of the entrance, so you could go sideways onto normal squares.

Probably a sort of puzzle where the player has to reach the normal squares before a horde of monsters attacks and surrounds him.

Oh well...

It was pretty obvious though.

Yeah, I thought so too.

I just realized there's a room in the first Crazy Cave that uses a similar concept, and it tickles me.
