I think one thing that made PP so difficult to test is its number of spaces, crevasses in which to fall. A fall while pressing the R arrow key will produce a different result from pressing the L arrow key, or the space bar, or the space bar and R arrow key, and so on and so on. Holding the key down during the fall will be different than pressing it for a short time. Unless one makes beta-testing a mansion of the size and fantastic complexity of PP a true full time job, there is no way any one or more testers can possibly hit every possible key or combination of keys that every player might press. JS's happen! You all did a fantastic job to miss so few errors in this amazing mansion.
