i like it! i'm sure the easy levels are welcome to most people :)

nice atmosphere, good colours, some clever layouts towards the end
where you have to plan your route beforehand... if you want
criticism, i'd say you could have taken a bit more advantage of the
extra blocks in the MM room format... but i dono, maybe you did use
them... if not you can do things like making platforms alternate
colours and stuff which is just an aesthetic thing but anyway...
really nice hack... i like the last mini-level too, it makes good
use of the space :)

Glad you like it! Have you completed it?

I tried to keep the difficulty level on a reasonable par with the
original so people would have a decent chance of completing it -
there're some remakes where I can't get off the first screen! - I
hope I've pitched it about right (some of the levels were MUCH harder
but I decided to relieve the pressure a little - *** L@@K, W@W, R@RE!
*** required perfect timing and pixel perfect jumps before I amended
it, and whie it was completeable, it was just too hard to be fun).

The fact I didn't use the spare blocks (or any other tricks) is
probably down to my inexperience with the editor and not fully
understanding the constraints of the game. Perhaps I'll do another
sometime and take better advantage.
