Try the 'technique' of jumping THEN moving and you should have better luck. The spider is going to be gone, after all, anyway.
After playing some of the other rooms, that one seemed a little easier ;-) I didn't go back and reedit my earlier comments.
On what you said about easy mode, Rob, I would very much consider what you said but I have so much work to do. Jasperlone Easy and Hard are my priorities right now, followed by Mount Peril Easy and Hard modes. I'll think about what you said for their easy modes.
Totally up to you and I agree - it's tough to look backward at something that is basically
donewhen there's lots of other things to do. If that particular
easylevel is a bit harder, it's all good, because it gives users a bit of a progression to Normal. Still, I stand by what I said earlier
.I'm sorry if hard mode was too big
I think the length adds to the difficulty and increases the payoff. On the downside, there's more to test, and it can take me a while to do.
When I test, I like to play it all the way through as though I were a player (usually twice - but probably more on Hard due to deaths) so I can get the feel of the thing.
Along the way I make notes on screens with questionable areas, that I review later using the MMB. Where I can look at it in detail. Unfortunately... the process is slow, and I'm still trying to fine tune the process. I'm amazed at how fast some others on the board are.
Try Leofani Manor, Rob, tell me what you think, from easy to hard, if you don't mind.
Sure... I had started on Jasperlone based on Vern's recommendation, but I'd rather hold off until the Easy mode is ready to look at, so I can hit them in sequence.
