Insane, I can see you put a lot of effort into this hold.

First off, this appears to be made for beginners because it is very easy.

The scripting seemed mostly annoying to me. Often I had to run around until the scripting "decided" I was in the correct spot to trigger something or in some cases you have to just wait while a scripted monster kills all the baddies.

A little note: In your profile you can edit your hold preferences and mark all the "uninteresting" rooms so high scores aren't assigned for simply walking through a room. You can also edit the author's difficulty from the same area.

My gripe is in this room:



1 is actually a (not perfectly) safe spot, but it's very unintuitive for you to have to



Also. Rooms full of brains/roaches/trapdoors/whatever. I HATE THEM.

EDIT:

Actually, come to think of it, 2 would work much better.

Or the orthogoblin room either, for that matter, though you do have to reenter it and then go back to survive the eye ambush.

Why are there no high scores for this hold? It's not a very hard hold but that's not a problem in itself (although just holding down ctrl & Q isn't very challenging), but then there are some other holds/rooms like that.

So are the old high scores still valid?

*checks*

Ok, seems like it's only been a couple of days since the hold was updated, I'll let the spider do its thing.

edit: The spider has done it's funky thing! Yay!

That is annoying. It took me five minutes of going up and down the screen just to clear it. It made my hands hurt. GO FIGURE!

I think the author's description says it all:
"Stupid, Idiotic Puzzles"

I had fun in a couple of rooms but for the most part it was just mindless and not much fun. Lots of "wait eons for bombs to go off or serpent to unravel, or roaches to be killed".

Whatever. I enjoyed a little of the scripting and the whole secret passage thing, so I moved my score to a 4.

Bleh. I was going to finish this hold, but around halfway through, the puzzles just got so boring I stopped. EDIT: I conquered and mastered the hold. Still pretty bad.

Not much else to say except that this hold should leave the front page and stay there.

1 2 for fun
1.5 for brains
10/100 approval rating.
