At school, you were whining about how nobody replied to your post, so I'm replying. I also stopped at the Eighth level, and I also stopped playing for a while, chiefly becasue the computer I was running DROD was running abysmally slow. By December, I decided that it wasn't worth browing the internet (the only thing I could do) because it was so slow, so I stopped using it. Then, my mom moved to LA, and it was my mom's computer, and I decided that I didn't want it, so now I don't have DROD anymore.

I'll download your hold when I get around to it.

EDIT: More accurately, I'll download your hold when I get around to redownloading DROD.

First Level: Easy but that's perfectly OK - gets you're hand in. One specific comment:
First: 1W - It's boring having to do the up-and-down bit on the way back from 2W. I suggest putting a green door halfway up each of the vertical walls so on the way back you can run straight through

Second:1S: About 50 too many WraithWings.
Second:1E: The snake dies very easily, I wonder if a brain would help
Second: 1N: What is the point of the structures in the SE corner?

Third: East is the way to the Exit and if you do that part first you have to retrace your steps, I suggest a scroll in the entrance that aids the adventurer to avoid this necessity.
Third:1N: The first scroll is not clear - 'no diagonals'? You can't enter the first maze horizontally or vertically. Also, why 'hitting the walls?'. A Checkpoint between the mazes would be good, as would a green door in the SE corner for those who ignore any instructions not to go East first.
Third:1W: As far as I can see That's a bit boring - particularly if you do a typo later on and have to restart (no checkpoints!). Nice satisfaction when it's completed though.

Two typos:
Llama not Llamma (third:2S1W)
Beat not Beet (end credits)

Thanks for the hold.

ok so first off i changed lvl 1 1w

the wraith wing room on lvl 2 i will probably replace later on.

1e i added a brain and 1n: there just there.

as of 1wI'll change it so you can't beat it the way you do.

i'll upload my updated hold soon...

so... I finished the fourth level and here it is!

I'm 99.9% sure that all the rooms are solvable unless I made a tiny change and forgot to test it.

Take a look at it, its pretty cool

W00T! I finally have DROD (JtRH). The Mac version seems to be totally compatible with JtRH and AE holds.

I've checked your level and in 1w, you should add force arrows to force the player to kill the brains before exiting, and a way to get out if the player wants to come back. Then this room would be a bit harder...
