From the lack of response, I would assome that no one beat it.

Is it too hard?

I have computer problems right now so if anyone wants to play it they will have to go to this thread

The entrance was easy enough, but I must admit, I ran out of patience on the second room with the tunnels. After I'd had to restart about 10 times, I'd had enough. I'm confused enough as it is. ;)

I'd say 1S can not beat conquered because:

1. Beethro must step off the last trap door at the tunnel near the North entrance.
2. The WW can not be killed from that position.

I have demo's for each room.

I would rather not give them out for a while, but if you need to see one PM me.

I see my statement 1 is not correct.
You got me on that one Sir Spitemaster. :yes

Edit: I have indeed solved this room now. I'll try to play a little more b-4 commenting.

Entrance: Fairly easy. Assumedly appropriate for the start to a trap door hold.

1S: Fairly tricky. Fun when you solve it, probably frustrating when you can not.

1S1E: Obvious concept (put mimic at one dead end and get it to other dead end). I was quick to give up when I didn't get through the first try.
Note:
1. I don't know if it is intended that you can pass the yellow doors w/o ever hitting the orb.
2. Optionally you could make it easier by forcing the player to start the mimic in one of the dead ends.

2S: I traversed this to the East room. I assume after re-entering from the SE I'd have to exit and re-enter from the north. Then exit East as I did originally so I could re-enter from the East to finally beat the room(or something like that). Fun???

2S1E: Happened to solve it on the first try so it was ok.

3S: Looks a bit like the same concept as 1S1E with the notable exception that this room has the only save pt I noticed.


General-

1. Most rooms were quite filled with trap doors. It might be more fun for the player if you can create the same puzzles/tricks with less trap doors.

2. I recommend adding save pts.

This could be a good hold for Jacob to check out with all the trap doors and the multiple entry room. Unfortunately he could be a bit busy now.

Some nice work.

The multiple entry room was intended to be needed to be beatten three times once north, once south-east then from east.

Unfortunatly I think designing that room was harder than it ended up being.

If you could explain the method you used to solve these rooms I think I could make them more diffucult, rather than tons, and tons of trapdoors.

Overall, thanks for the work

I really love trapdoor puzzles. These are really good (judging by what I have seen so far).

The entrance is fairly simple.

The second room is really wicked. If I hadn't read this thread before, I would have agreed with LarryMurk in that it is not possible to solve the room. After reading that there is a solution, I had it after a while. Cool room.

Unfortunately I did not have the time to solve the third room.
