Back to our topic:

I think it's rather boring....sometimes even to a point where one of those mansions (I'm not naming names...and it's not the Bat House, even if that belongs to that category) looks strikingly similar to a previous one in the same vein.
And I know those mansions are probably meant for beginners..... but in the BAT HOUSE I was so much running on auto-pilot that when I came to the only spot that was a bit more challenging - the zapper beams in rooms 17103 / 17104 (which are much harder than the rest of the House) - I lost about 10 of my amassed lives .....!! :-?
So I just throw that on the table..... open for discussion:
While one mansion in that style every now and then is great..... I could imagine even beginners getting bored by a whole series of those !!
As I said..... just my personal view.
(BTW: I experienced a strange bug while playing Bat House: every time I opened the map, all rooms in the map appeared twice (next to each other), and sometimes whole floors appeared twice (on top of each other). Now what is that ???)
A while ago we we were talking about the
sins of the mansion builders.
As far as
The Bat Hoiuseis concerned I might add a point which is totally subjective:
In the last weeks we saw a whole string of these
rectangular mansionswhich have basically all rooms looking alike, with 3 floors in each room, and the whole point (I don't even dare calling it a puzzle) is running back and forth from one corner to the opposite corner in every room, pulling levers and opening doors. Usually the lever for the door in - say - the lower right corner, is in the upper left corner etc. ...so you have to keep walking and walking back and forth....and that's basically all that is happening in those mansions.
It's just my (very) personal view....and it's probably
web-political uncorrectto say so, but: I don't like that.
