Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your positive review. I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)

I'm glad that I was careful about quirky features, because on my
first round of testing I found some that I had to fix, e.g. unwanted
bottom-row ILBs in "Teeth chink" and "A hateful swept hallway", and
one or two other things.

I noticed in your RZX that you used a few tricks I didn't consider,
e.g. extra-high jumps off some ramps, but nothing that spoiled my
planned route *except* in one room: "Did he ever turn?".

In that room, I thought it was impossible to reach the lower item
compartment without coming from "Otter ore" on the right (which is
also hard, but possible); however, you managed to time a perfect jump
past the magenta pencil and get in there. You also sneaked onto the
conveyor without going all the way from the left-hand side; I
intended the player to have to jump against the ceiling to stand
still and wait for that enemy to pass.

The loss of one life is inevitable, AFAICT, in the room "Blind

jeweler veers into hive" (40) – you cannot go safely down (or up)
from the hive after collecting the three items.

Actually, you *can* get back down. See if you can work it out!

Cheers,

Eq.
