Somehow I totally missed including updates of this mansion in Beta 2. So I'm posting the updated version in the
Beta 2 Download Available
thread. Please get it there before continuing testing!

Cheap death when Jack goes from room 12276 to 12076 – the little green gremlin is too close and too fast for an Easy mansion.

In 11680 a scorpion falls on Jack almost immediately as he enters the room.

In 11480 a lever has to be pulled to open a trapdoor to drop a gremlin through. If you leave the room and come in again the gremlin is back and the trapdoor has to be opened again – is this how it should be?

Jack stuck in 11079. He has a blue key but the right-hand bat platform that he travelled up on is now down at its lower position.

Where? There are two scorpions in this room and neither of them falls on Jack's head. The one further to the right falls down after a period of time so Jack can easily avoid it.

Yes. If not, then Jack cannot repeat the process if he fails to trap the troll in the trapdoor.

I don't understand. I sent the beta 2 version to Vern, where this has been fixed.

The first time I did this room I thought the scorpion fell too quickly for an Easy mansion but I've tried it again and I agree with you that Jack can avoid it.

The problem is still there in the version I'm using. I'll download the latest one and try again.

10279 – Jack can't ride down on the falling platform that can be seen just below him. He has to walk off and lose a life.

Apart from the problems reported above (which I modified in the MLB so that I could carry on playing) I thought this was an excellent mansion. Thank you brell Smile.

Yes, he can. The falling brick is there so Jack can land on the ledge and get the key. He then rides down the pole (steps on the falling brick to remove it again if necessary).

Yes, he can - in BOTH instances! Just let Jack take a few armlifts! This feature has been known for quite a time now.
