My first attempt at making a hold.

This is a small hold of only four rooms.
Enjoy.

Edit: Now with a beta second level. I hope to make a 4-5 level hold eventually.

You aren't kidding, this is hard! I can't even move beyond the entryway to either of the next two rooms.

Looks good. I'm working on a 1-room hold myself with 4 quarters in it, looks similar to that one.

LOL I thought that I must be missing something. I didn't realize it wasn't me though!

The eyes in the south-east room are on "Close" switches, they need to be on "Toggle" switches.

Edit: My bad.

I've taken the easy way out and completed it with only 15 HP left, but it is certainly completable. Since everything is straightforward I don't have anything special to say about it.

Perhaps it is interesting to know that I have still 140 greckles left, so you can even add more things to spend greckles on.

Here were my scores after I finished it. Nice little hold.

New beta second level.

I hope I haven't made any errors uploading this time. Please tell me if I have.

Comments/Finishing Stats welcome.

You have. It ends the hold to try to return to the first level from the second level.

Hey, just a bump about this tiny hold. I finished with 3 yellows, 1 blue, around 400 HP and quite a few greckles, hoping to spend those on a third level! Are there any plans to still finish it (after 6 years, maybe futile to ask, but still)? Because I did enjoy it, especially optimizing well enough to leave the spider with the 200HP/Green key choice behind until I finished the level.

No guarantees, but it is possible. I have a fair bit of unfinished work in the same style.

Completed! It felt awesome to finally beat this hold (what there is of it so far), which I remember being an enormous stumper back in the day. Really excellent puzzles so far.

I didn't backtrack at all, as I didn't notice until the end that it was possible. It's up to you, but I feel it would be interesting to continue this as a no-backtracking hold, which would help to continue to make greckle gates an interesting choice.

Final stats: 24/48/24, 41GR, 0/3/0 keys.
