I decided to try my hand at architecture and this level is what came out of it.

I plan on 3 levels but for now you get this one.

Mosaic Frost theme by~Rheb

Edit 1:Oh i forgot to give you guys more info the first floor is supposed to be somewhat easy the second floor will be average and the third floor will be hardish.

I`m not the happy with the south wing its likely to be partially redone

Edit: 2 Forgot to set a room as a secret one.

I think I did your most recent version...

My first thought was "wow, this person sure likes wraithwings!" (I hate 'em).

The variations on the rooms (three going north, three going south) were interesting but the southern ones didn't seem to be different enough to be interesting. I actually found the one with the wubba easier than the other two.

I beat all the rooms except the two northernmost ones (did the final one in the editor). I didn't have much interest in wraithwing manipulation to get it where I needed to and just finished there.

However, everything seems clean and no unintended solutions that I can see (like killing the wraithwing trapped in the yellow door by standing on the yellow door. Rats!). I think if I had rate difficulty I'd put it around a 4 or so.

Oh, I assume there will be some starting text eventually. It was a bit jarring to begin and just find myself immediately surrounded by wraithwings. I wasn't even sure what my mission was

Is this impossible?!?! (at the beginning I can only beat three wraithwings without dying)

I very much dislike the south wing and yes there will be starting text i`m not one for a story but there will be at least some text.

And that`s too bad about you not doing the northernmost one that one was my Favorite

Don't take it personally, I just don't care for that sort of puzzle. I'm sure it works just fine.

In both of the wings, I got only two of the rooms each conquered. 3N1W and 3S1W still elude me, unfortunately.

Room comments:
Entrance: Fine starting room.
Once West: The checkpoint placement for this room is terrible, since my solution did not involve stepping on it once I cut the gel. Could it be moved to (25,14), perhaps?
Once North, Once West: Good room! I liked the idea a lot.
Twice North, Once West: I also liked this room a lot. Nearly identical to the previous, yet the puzzle is totally different. Neat!
Thrice North, Once West: Stuck on this one. I know what the solution is, but I just have trouble implementing it.
Once South, Once West: Not a very interesting room, unfortunately.
Twice South, Once West: I solved the room with two soldiers alive in the end. Even so, I think there should be a checkpoint somewhere.
Thrice South, Once West: This one is totally stumping me. Should I try standing at (12,25) as long as possible?
Once North: I looked ahead in the editor at this room, and looks can be decieving, since the player has to keep making diagonal moves to progress. Well done!

This is a good hold so far. What wonders will the next level hold? (No more wraithwings?)

I liked the northern rooms. Kind of clever variations of a theme. I felt kind of luke warm about the western rooms. Too much hack and slash without challange. I disliked the southern rooms. They just felt messy, and you can get your sword back by stepping at the token again in two of the rooms. I also liked the netrance and 1W.

So i have been working on these concepts for rooms and i wanted to know what people think...
These rooms are all in beta so if they do get put in they`ll be different.

The entrance is just a room for branching purposes.

Patch 1
Added X`s
