when on the bottom step?
Yes. I also like the
way you can bang your head against an overhead wall,
as in "The Orangery". I'll have to think of a way to
make the player have to do that to avoid arrows or
something! :-)
BTW, death tv is looking marvellous.
The rooms are very definitely in a higher class of
visual attractiveness than those in willy to the rescue.
I also love the way you've partitioned the game
into worlds. I'm really looking forward to this
one.
It's also nice to see the `green dreams' (although in
this case, red) from We Pretty making an appearance in
slime world (provided they will be credited, of
course), although I was a bit disappointed not to see
Freddy Krueger in nightmare world! :-) Freddy Krueger
already appears in the title room of Goodnite Luddite,
and the `red dreams' will appear in a room called
"EBOLA JAZZ".
