These are a bunch of tar puzzles I thought up. I tried to make all the rooms unique, and I hope you enjoy them.

Nice hold. Some Level 8 memories here...
If you like tar, give it a shot.
If not, well, no sarcastic comment will suffice :P

Thank you. I tried to provide as wide a variety of tar puzzles as I could, including bizarre timing puzzles. I love the feedback :)

I just uploaded a new version of the hold, which I can verify has the stairs going to (end hold). I just played through it on my own machine, and the stairs were set to restart, so I fixed it and put it here.

Tar good. Me cut tar. Me have fun.

Joking aside, some good tar chopping with some thought required.

For reference, if you enter the secret room, you cannot leave the level without restoring.

This is a short but sweet hold that showcases a variety of different puzzle types you can make with tar in AE. There's efficient tar cutting, making sure tar babies don't spawn in inaccessible spots and more! Each room felt well balanced, with just enough tar and/or time to get the point across at a nice medium difficulty. The highlight for me was 1N1E - a solid timed room with some tricks up its sleeve.

If that sounds interesting or you like tar, I'd say it's worth a hour or two to play through it! :)

My favourite rooms here were 2S1E & 3E, it's an original idea, don't know if it has been used in other later holds, but what can I say for sure is that this is the first hold which contains a puzzle like that. Good work DiMono. :)
