Yeah. This one really requires you to think before you leap. In the first few rooms, I was just charging right through and kept running headlong into spiders. It's a fun little mansion, though. I like the slow pace. It keeps me thinking about every step, and it makes a fairly small mansion seem larger.
Even with the original graphics and fewer intangible walls, though, I still feel like there's something not solid about it. I kept dying from not knowing exactly which platforms I could walk on. I think that's partly a beta-testing issue, though. A lot of vines and stuff still need tightening up. I got stuck on the bottom part of room 14099 (I think), with a bit near the left blocking my head, and no other way to get back up.
The graphics are a little chaotic, but that's part of the theme, isn't it? There's some nice rooms in there. It's a breath of fresh air after some madhouse maze of platforms and snakes to come into a nice big room full of dripping lava.
Anyway, it feels like a good second draft. Some spit and polish, and it can easily go on the big list.
