Fun hold. The only problem I've found so far is that in level one, if you go east of the entrance without having completed all the rooms to the west of the entrance, it appears to be impossible to return to them, thus making the level impossible to complete.

I didn't mean the level wasn't beatable, it is, but only if you enter all the rooms to the left of the entrance before you go to the right of the entrance. Say, from the entrance, you go twice west, but you don't notice the passageway that leads to 1S2W so you leave and beat the rest of the level. As you haven't went into all the rooms, the blue door is closed, and therefore the passageway back is inaccessible, making it impossible to get back to any room left of the entrance.

A few comments so far.

Some specific comments:

1. First thing. Thanks for the Anyone Edit.

It makes it easier to test.

2. The second is this. The scrolls in "the Objobanater" were bad enough, although some of it was sort of understandable (referring to why you put them there, not meaning "readable"), but those in L1 1S are really pushing it. The answers I'd give to those are "yes", and "definitely". Really, those scrolls are just really annoying, as they have an air of arrogance that for some reason irritates me and serve no other purpose (Maybe I'm just tired). Please remove them - I dislike running up and down the newly opened passages. Why do I need you to tell me that?

3. The stairs don't seem to be set correctly. On checking, I have found the stairs to be set to the current level. Is this a bug?

Some level comments:

L1 - Some interesting movement ideas here in 2E especially, but the rest of the level is mostly quite easy.

L2 - Very small - only one room with no monsters in it! (I did notice the secret rooms, but is this some sort of story for the hold?). Also, was the blending of the text in the message board intentional?

L3 - I didn't realise you could just spin around at the start, but looking at the description made me realise this. The roaches also look like blobs of water in tubes separated by air spaces between them (At least in the context of a radiator), so that was a nice touch. However, the way the last orb in the force arrow area is placed means that if you stand in the wrong place, you are forced to do the room again. Although being lazy is bad, I think a checkpoint in the chamber just before it would be a good idea. One other thing, why is "HI" written on the exit staircase?

L4 - Again a small level and very easy to complete, although I don't think it can be exited as the exit room is also required, and a blue door blocks the entrance to it.

L5 - Hmm... :)

VernalRainquest is right - if you go east before doing all the rooms in the west, you can't solve the level. That's because you can't return except by the secret passage, and there's a blue door in the middle of the secret passage, which won't open unless you've been to the other half of the secret passage already.

You can easily solve this by unchecking the "room is required" box for rooms 1W, 2W, 1S1W, and 1S2W.

I got the secret passage to the west but I cant get east of the entrance 'cause of the fact that you need to hit the orb in the thing and you can't do that when you enter...

:(

ah found the solution. Good hold, just do us all a favor and run everything through a spellchecker ;)

Other than that keep up the good work.
