Subject: Re: Forbidden Holy Ground and Promised L
a good variation on forbidden holy ground is a
pathway to somewhere which isn't obviously blocked, but
is still impossible to get to. for example the top
passageway in 'static' in wttr and also the little corner
passage in 'this could be willys last weeeeee' which is
impossible to jump due to the speed of the guardian (so you
end up never knowing what's down that hole
:)
also in 'nestling in amongst the bad guys' there is a
ramp which conceals an exit which is impossible to get
to as there isn't enough room to jump through the
ramp :)
" I got some good Promised Land effects
into We Pretty as well! :-) "
'the boiler room'
springs to mind - you fall through it but none of the
ledges catch you, so you can't play the room at that
stage and must take the bottom exit. (very lifelike
freddy kreuger sprite though :)
incidentally, i
still haven't crossed to the left of 'diamond bozy'.
can anyone else do it? it seems impossible... i could
put a poke on but that is the last resort :)
