Hello everyone,
This is my TCB version of 210 Levels of Terror, with the first 4 levels done for everyone to test and comment on.
Note level 4 is exactly like JtRH edition's level 4, because I felt like I could re-use the level if the concept and puzzles I am teaching at that particular point are exactly the same - namely puzzles about how to use orbs to open yellow doors.
Before that, however, the levels are different - level 1 is just a walk-thru with nothing eventful, but level 2 is an intro to pressure plates and level 3 is an intro to roaches and how they also step on pressure plates.
My plan is in full for the rest of the hold:
