×1E - I killed the second wraithwing in a way that was probably not by design. Put the first wraithwing at (24,5), and the other one will be easy to get.

3S1W - I killed the roaches first, before I entered the bottom half or northeast part of the room. Is that right?

2S1W - You don't need the goblin. Are you supposed to?

×Doesn't really matter-the arrow was just to have a place to stick the wraithwing, but not actually necessary. I've removed it for the next update.

×Yes, that is right.

×Yes you are. I've fixed this for the next update.

×Entrance: An ok room.

1W: Perhaps my favourite. Not too many elements, and it really made me search for a solution.

1E: I feel as if the part with the trapdoors just clutters up the room. And perhaps it would be enough with one eye for the wraithwing to block so it doesn't step on an arrow? A nice room, though.

1S1W: Nice room

1S: Also nice.

1S1E: A bit too long wait-sequence. Try to make the room so that it's enough to wait for two spawn-cykles in order to make way for the roach. Another nice, dificult room.

2S2W: A bit meh! Not very dificult, but quite tedius.

2S1W: Nice But why not have the WW and the goblin below the puzzle area? It would make the real puzzle a bit cleaner.

2S: Hmm... No, please! I know how to solve rooms like this, but if I didn't this room could potentially be very frustrating. But what do I know It would be better with the opinion of someone who encounters a room like this for the first time.

3S1W: Another of my favorites

1N1W: A bit messy. I would replace the mother with one eye surounded by arrows, and remove the arrow that needs to have a baby on it.

1N: Bleh! Quite tedius.

I liked 1N1E and 1N2E.

2N1W: Another room were I would use a one eye mother

2N: A nice, clean room.

×1S1E: I probably didn't solve this the right way, because I never used the orb at the far northeast. I got a baby into the roach's area by timing it so that the tar would surround me and make the baby unbrained at the right time. I then used it to create an alcove in the tar, for the roach to get stuck in.

2S: I note that there's a hard way and an easy(er) way to solve this. The easy way is to kill the brain before the serpent.

1N1W: I thought the arrow that needs to have a baby on it was the best part of the room.

Ending text: typo in the word "definitely".

It's kind of a shame that the Entrance is a difficult trial-and-error room, and blocks you from getting to any other rooms. No simple fix comes to mind, though.

×Entrance - Not too difficult. I didn't need to use too much trial and error. A few judicious backswipes and use of vertical preference to my advantage solved it pretty quickly.

1S - Now this room did need trial and error - kind of like fighting a horde of roaches on orthsquares, but not exactly. I don't think I've solved anything like this before.

2S - A little diagram on my handy pad of graph paper allowed me to kill the snake before the brain without too much trouble. The snake is much longer than needed for my solution.

2S1W - Very cool. I pushed the mimic against the wraithwing and then the goblin to reach its destination.

3S1W - The NW corner and the roaches up top didn't seem to have much to do with the rest of the room. The real puzzle was getting a queen to block each of the eastern tar blobs, while Beethro killed the mothers on the west side. A carefully timed spawn did the trick.

2S2W - Once I saw what I was supposed to do, I thought I would have to start over. But then everything was okay after all, because it's okay to kill two of the eyes.

1S1W - Wow! A nice comparison between where you can get a brained goblin stuck (NW of a brain invisible obstacle) and where you can get an unbrained goblin stuck (center of a 3 square obstacle). Very cool looking 2 goblin 2 roach contraption required in the NW area.

1N - I got a roach stuck on every arrow of the mimic's maze.

1N1E - I made a long path between Beethro and the roach. Very cool contrast between brained and unbrained behavior of the roach queen in this room.
1N2E - I made a slightly longer path.

1E - A very complicated apparatus. I used a sword to block an eye, which blocked a wraithwing, which blocked several more eyes and finally attracted the other wraithwing in the final two-wraithwing showdown.

1S1E - I used a whole bunch of unbrained tar babies to keep a path open on the west side of the growing tar.

2N - For some reason, I didn't feel like thinking about this one, and luckily guessed the correct placement order such that I could move the mimics all at once. It looks like the more cautious could place the mimics two at a time.

2N1W - Took me a while to see how all the parts of this room fit together. I used a looping snake to prevent formation of inaccessible tar babies.

1N1W - Very interesting interaction between tar and snake. I want the snake to block tar growth for one spawn, but I want the tar to kill the snake on the next spawn.

1W - Tricky and almost stumped the Rabbit. I needed to get a certain distance between Beethro and the freed roach. The block shapes of the given tools reveal very little of their function in the room's solution. And then once I had a solution, I initially thought it was wrong because movement order prevented the tar babies from going where they should. (Breaking one more crumbly wall fixed that though.) A checkpoint just inside the wraithwing square would be nice.

×Actually, you don't have to. The northeast tar mass negates the need for that.

×Entrance, 2S1W, 1N, 1N1W, 2N1W - Not sure why my old demos broke. I did essentially the same thing as before.

2S2W - Much trickier. Now I can't kill any eyes.

2N1E - This new room might be easier than you think it is. Only one mimic is needed to guide the roach west to the correct diagonal.

1S1E - This time I only grew the tar twice. First to trap some babies. Second, to create a little niche for the roach. The niche formed because the exiting babies passed by at just the right time.

2S1E - My solution for this room is UG-LY. I let the outer tar grow to fill half the room. When there was a convenient baby on the east side, I dove into the tar to unbrain the baby, so it would block tar growth to create another little niche for the roach. Then I came out of the tar and cleaned up the big mess. Was there an elegant way to do this?
