I wanted to improve things. That is why I also found an annoying mistake. Not a Jack-stuck or a half-Jack-stuck ... It is a kind of mortal-half-Jack-stuck.
Very early in the mansion (see pic 1) Jack arrives at the gap with the seven fast approaching scorpions. There is a reason for the number of scorpions (minimum 7). Jack started with 6 lives and so early in the mansion he couldn't gain enough money for extra lives. In this way I forced Jack to do a detour where he also was forced to pick up a purple key. That key is necessary for further progress somewhere halfway the purple area. An original one way. I thought. Till my Jack was in a bad mood and decided to offer 5 of his lives to the five fasted scorpions.
On pic 2 you see what happened. Jack was faster than the two slowliest scorpions and could climb down the ladder without the purple key. He really needs that key because it is the only one within reach to open that purple door. A Jack-stuck?
Well, no. Jack is in the poosibility to gain more than $ 2000 for two extra lives. One extra life is enough to go back to the shown room to offer two more lives to the scorpions in the gap and pick-up the purple key. Design problem solved?
Again, no! Although there are also a few shields, Jack may lose lives while gathering his dollars. Thus it is possible that he ends with 0 or 1 life left, not enough to eliminate the scorpions.
I am running away. There is work to do.
