Hi.

This is a hold I've been working on for a while. But I don't think I will have time working on this for a while, so I can just release it as well. It is finished, I think.

Like Simplicity, this is a one-level hold with minimalistic puzzles.

[ There are only 12 rooms in there. ]

Have Fun!

Any other comments are of course welcome.

-- Tim (...)

NOTE: Version 2 changes the last puzzle, and a spelling misteek. I have removed a shortcut in the last room, so the original path is still there. I must say that it is very hard to test that room, so there could still be changes...

I haven't finished it yet, and I don't have time to play further today, but this is truely a great hold. 2N4E is an exceptionally brilliant room.

My overall comments on the hold (If they are too spoilerish, then please tell me, so I can remove them):

Overall, it's a small, but challenging hold, with some original and unusual roach queen manipulation techniques; I myself am quite inspired by some of these rooms.

This is a very good hold. It's well worth playing.

Hi.

I'm sorry being really quiet for some times, but in case you did not noticed in the first post, I had lost someone I cared a lot. This is the main reason why probably some of the rooms does seem to feel incomplete, hacked together, or just funny.

I'm still feeling a bit light-headed, and I can't even concentrate as I type. I'm sure it will get over, but not right now.

Some small notes:

(By the way, Agaricus, you know I have very high respect of you, so I won't mind anything you say. But I must say that I am very happy that you are inspired by this hold. Being able to inspire other people to create puzzles is very satisfying. My sincere thnaks. Of course this goes to Doom as well.)

(Note to Erik: I hope you didn't mind that I just created a "Custom" in this story. If you don't like the story in my hold, just tell me what to change to. I will be glad to change.)

Everyone, thank you again for your comments.

-- Tim (who is still a bit sad...)
