Two levels of mazes, each with an increasing average of monsters. They are mazes, so they are definitely not for everyone.

Much thanks to Ezlo, for playing this hold more times than is probably healthy. Also, thanks to everyone who gave comments on Architecture.

Fun little hold. A lot of interconnected room puzzles, sort of like "Figure and Ground" for beginners. And I mean that as a compliment - this is a really good hold for people new to DROD.

2.5 brains, 8 overall.

Heh, I probably did play it a little much. But it certainly was good enough that I didn't mind. Exactly as Eytanz said, it's Figure or Ground for beginners.

3.5 brains, 9 fun!

Mastered! This is quite a fun hold! Even if it is small, it still packs a big punch. Really easy too. Bonus points for making a hold where I can rack up the #1's (at least for now).

Now I gained some confindance to attempt Figure or Ground. Good luck with that, Tom. But thanks Ravon for such an enjoyable hold. I'll be looking for your third hold, whatever that may be!

I gave this wonderful hold a 9 with 2 brains.

Well, at least I managed to get one, too... and I don't think there's much chance of doing more than that...

Other than that, it's a nice little hold - I give it an 8 and 2.5 brains.

np: Death Cab For Cutie - State Street Residential (You Can Play These Songs With Chords)

Hmm, I was definitely not thinking of allowing highscores, they aren't really meaningful, but what the heck.
Of course, it would be really interesting to see the lowest scores for an entire level...

From me, it gets an 8 overall, with 2.5 brains. Short, sweet, and complete.

Try quiting DROD and then restarting it. I think it looks for new holds at the beginning of the program.

EDIT: Nice hold BTW Ravon!

Well, there's busloads of much worse ways to spend 15 to 20 minutes...

np: Solvent - My Radio (Legowelt Remake) (Elevators & Oscillators)

It's a real achivement to produce a funny, very easy hold. Great job, Ravon!

That was awesome. Completely different experience from traditional DROD holds. Sort of like the "Petals" level in Lunchbreak holds. I loooove these types of holds.

Nice hold, keep up the great work, nice to spend re-playing this hold over and over again.

My reactions, in alphabetical order:

"A colon? There? What is the world coming to?"
"Figure or Ground might be worth a try after all."
"Fun hold!"
"I think I can solve this room by leaving."
"That's a lot of orbs."
"Where's level three?"

This is a fun, short, easy hold. It has a unique style in that it makes use of features which have no bearing on single-room puzzles--resetting of doors when a room is exited, for instance. At a glance, this hold may look confusing, but it's not nearly as mentally unwieldy as it seems. Keep your head about it, remember where you haven't been, and you'll do just fine.

I thought this was quite a well made small hold (although it did take me a while to find the secret room, it's hidden well).

It took the simple concept of a maze, and made it fun to work through. It was fairly easy, but still quite interesting. The blue path reminded me of JtRH level 8. Good work!

A very fun little diversion. This takes the concept of a maze and does it right. It didn't feel terribly tedious (though the second level was more so than the first) and it amazed me how many different paths there were through one room. Well done!

The secret room was indeed well hidden and I didn't find it until after I'd finished the hold

Very easy to optimize as there aren't very many enemies and most of the time they are right near where the player enters.
