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.
