Babysitting Nightmare?! My new hold of terror?! (0)

Ok guys this is my new hold, and since it is my second, (first serious) hold im making, im allowing you guys to help me almost every step of the way! whenever i get a new level ill be sure to update it, if you guys could test this and tell me to make it harder, or easier that would be a great help, also tell me of any bugs you find. Thanks a lot and enjoy! :thumbsup

Bugs:
- The stairs that are supposed to go to the level "???" conquer the hold.
- You should put a green door in Top Floor: The Entrance
- (Minor Bug) Spelling errors in the Top Floor Level Description Text: "you realize you're in...", "appears" (Bolded words are what they should be changed to).

Other than that, good start

For the next levels, remember to make the difficulty increase the further you go throughout the hold.

Welcome to the forum, Mincemeat!

I'm playing Top floor of your hold now, and have an advice for you:

-can you add vision token there, please? Because it's rather bad having tarstuff on the walls without token. This will make your puzzle a little more enjoyable.

I'll make full comments soon.

I don't think ??? is completeable.
There's an unopenable yellow door, and an unopenable red door blocking the exit.

Hey! Indeed. You can't drop trapdoor under the orb and one of yellow doors is really unopenable.

Mincemeat. did you actually test your hold?

Just to re-iterate:

In the new room, you don't need the invisibility potion for anything.

I'm assuming that the first room is impossible, is that correct?

Top middle NPC in Bottom Floor: Entrance is invincible, but none of the others are.

Nice hold!

Yeah its a "safe zone" but i forgot to make it a unecesary room, so thank you for reminding me ^^ and thanks for the compliment, my next question is so far how difficult is it.

also just as a heads up, i'm thinking of making 2-3 new rooms a day so that gives you an idea on the updates, im also not counting secret rooms as the number of rooms until posting

Re: Babysitting Nightmare?! My new hold of terror?! (0)

???: First scroll: "Becarefull" - has to be "Be careful"
Bottom floor.: It'll be good to delete the ".".
Also, NPCs in the "safe zone" are vulnerable (except the "Citizen" NPC, which is normally invulnerable).

EDIT:

Bottom floor.: Quince West: Why do you make Halph-NPC speak for each of three persons? Why don't make such dialog:

Speaker=Beethro Mood=Normal Dialog text="Billy! What happened? I was just babysitting you and I suddenly appeared here!"
Speaker=Halph (or Self) Mood=Aggressive Dialog text="You babysitters, I hate all of you, so I trap you all here! There's only way out!"
Speaker=Beethro Mood=Aggressive Dialog text="You'd better get me outta here..."
etc.

instead of such one:

Speaker=Halph Mood=Normal Dialog text="Now you, babysitter, please say this: Billy! What happened? I was just babysitting you and I suddenly appeared here!"
Speaker=Halph Mood=Aggressive Dialog text="And now I say this: You babysitters..."
Speaker= ... Halph again! :angry

(even if it has to be Beethro) Mood=Aggressive Dialog text="And now please say this: You better..."
etc.
