I can’t remember that I have ever been in The Birdcage, so I started exploring it. It’s a typical aquaMat mansion with a way of building that gives a lot of possibilities to hide all kinds of stuff and a lot of fun to search. But once in a while he colours outside the lines.

The picture shows the 3rd room of the mansion. No shield or extra life yet.
The eye ball and the scorpion were previously on the closed trap door. Jack did pull the lever and only then knew what (fast) happened. The eye ball is easy to avoid, but the scorpion did end in the gap on top of the vine that is Jack’s only way of progress. Several tests showed me that the scorpion not always but nearly always arrives in the gap. And if it does not always very fast. Both things have to do with the position and moving direction of the scorpion. And knowing how things work doesn’t help at all. The trap door opens and you have to accept if it will be cheap death or not. Russian roulette in my opinion.

That thing in the lava just left of where Jack is now, is a very fast left-right moving platform. It moves without reaching the solid bricks at both sides. The latter makes it easy to jump on the moving platform. But going further to the left is tough. The platform moves so fast that I can’t know when to pull the lever. Like in the other room. The difference is that I could teach myself how to handle this. So no Russian roulette, but a high risk of falling in the lava. Either in the widest pool or in the left one.
