Merry Xmas, Clayton...
...Anyway, here are my comments.

Thanks Neil, Same to you. Sorry it took me so long to reply, Santa was extra good to me this year. I've been playing my Gamecube constantly over the last few days. *reads comments*

The Rooftop:
8N 4E: I don't think this is an issue.

8N 1W: It's been repaired with a force Arrow pointing East. Thanks for the find. The room is a pain now.

7N 2W: The method you used was my (lame) intention. I figured it would be insane if you didn't eliminate the serpents early.

And I actually got the ending! So for some reason I don't see that ending stair bug in this level. It must have something to do with the differences between how people construct the holds.

Good! Before I uploaded, I went through one last time and made sure every staircase in the hold pointed to where it should. The bug might be occuring prior to room saves... I dunno.

Ground Floor, 2N 1W: this room looked different, so I played through it. I think you have an unintended solution...

Nope. And you can actually do that trick with every roach, not just two. This room is crap anyway. I'm not proud of it.

Sixth Story, 1N 4W: The right hand scroll had no text on it, although the left one did. And actually I wasn't able to beat the room in enough time to check them out for myself...that seems pretty tough. I don't feel like doing it at this time, so if you say it can be done I will believe you.

The scroll has been fixed. They both say the same thing. I have done the room many times before, it is possible (though just barely).

Well, that's all I have to say. It looks really good, I think it should be pretty much ready for release! I would hold a last call for comments, then ring in the new year with the largest finished hold available!

Will do, thanks a bunch.

Last call for comments, suggestions, concerns, and the like before I submit this sucker to the Holds board!

I thought this was going to be 26 levels or something.

The only request I have right now is for a checkpoint in the level 7 broom with the 12 goblins and wraithwings. It's very annoying to keep playing the first bit over and over again.

If you'll wait a bit, I can go over the levels again (I don't have any time now)...so maybe a day or two? how long do I have?

Quiet, you. I was lacking good ideas, that's all, so I ended it. No shame in knowing when to fold 'em. I'll make another hold someday, with less focus on having "original" goals.

This said location has already been modified to correct the concerns of those who frequent this board. Woo! Though I don't think I posted back to notify anyone of the change.

That depends on how badly the CPU in Super Smash Bros. Melee can whip my butt. I think Neil already went through and played every level for me, but if you want to have a quick run through, go ahead, I'll wait.

Um, well, I didn't play through all the first 6 levels all the way through except for the rooms that I thought had changed. They all looked the same to me and they were fine before, so...

For Wesley's hold, I really haven't played many of the rooms at all so when he does give me an anyone edit hold I will be playing most of the rooms. But for yours I had already played through the whole thing pretty much.

I guess I will say that level 1 1W kicks my butt every time I play it but I know other people have solved it since it was revamped so no big deal.

If you want me to play through them again I can do so, but if there weren't any major changes, it's probably not necessary.

Game on,

I think that 7:2W should be taken out, and perhaps you could reduce the trapdoors in 7:2N2W. It gets a little repetitive.

I can't get much else, because otherwise I have to replay everything. Sorry.....

7:2W was easy, I don't see why it should be taken out. 7:2N2W was pretty tough, although I was able to beat it without too much trouble. I don't think it was that repetitive...especially if you wall off the tar right away (although you have to be careful not to get trapped). And why would you have to replay everything, unless you weren't able to beat 7:2N2W?

Game on,

I'd have to replay because under my new version the only level that I have that I can restore to is level 7.

I think that 7:2W was a little *too* easy.

2N2W could stay as it is, I guess.....

Understandable. I've fixed the problem anyway.

Heh, there was no bug involved, they were just too hard for me.

Hmmm... Here's a tip:


Sorry if that seems mean, but I don't remember the quick solution (I think it had 7 strikes) anymore myself! I just bang around in there until I notice I can do it in two moves.

If you're super-duper desperate, just do a Google search for Lights Out, there are several solutions out there. It's a tough puzzle, I agree.

Game on,
