You /can/ commit suicide! I provided an arrow as
'cyanide', but you have to time your jump very accurately to
hit it! :-)

then there is falling into the top of 'the mind warp pavillion'. rather than have the multiple death like this, i would have put nasties all along the bottom of the screen above (something about steak and

beans or something :).

I was aware of that, but
I thought I could get away with one or two traps in
the game (the other is in "THESA FET YZ ON E"). To
have a couple of traps adds tension, without the
frustration of having them all over the place. It's not too
unfair if you just have to learn about a couple of traps
once you're familiar with the game.
