Yes, it's true, the Arena is back with new fancy clothes. If you've played it before, why not give it another whirl? If you haven't, then, well, make sure your sword is sharpened.

There are a lot of staircases floating about, so let me know if any of them are misdirected. There are currently five levels, with more coming once I get around to it (which could be awhile). All the rooms are possible--unless you come across one that distinctly says it might not be, in which case I haven't solved it yet (but you could be the first!)

In the last I'm not so lucky.

Sadly, it's hard to give help in these rooms other than to say keep at it. Though it is largely (well, to be fair, entirely) hack-and-slash, each of the levels requires certain strategies to complete, so it isn't completely mindless. The levels aren't ordered by difficult, though I'd probably say the wubba level is the easiest and the wraithwing level is the hardest (but what do I know). I have got a few nuggets of wisdom for each level, so just ask if you get too frustrated. But I assure you, it is definitely oh so satisfying to watch a demo of Beethro slaying hundreds of monsters at top speed. And think, you'll never be afraid of those monster hordes again!

In other news, if you were sick of these wide open rooms, I added a level that should alleviate those concerns... (attachment in first post above)

I never played the original, and so came to this hold new. There is some sort of weird bug - when I "finished" the roaches (had to remove roaches past the 8th room) I popped to the end of the wubbas, then the end of the queens, the end of the ww, and was able to start the goblins.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or an error in my version.

That's weird. I don't know what's going on there. There are also ten rooms of roaches. I'll go back and check the stairs again, but they were fine the last time I checked.

The only one I was persistent enough to finish was the wubbas, but it was very satisfying to do so.
