new mansion--Triad

Lost a lot of Jacks first time around, but kept at it. Last time: finished in 14:20 with 48,850 points, 100% secrets and 40 Jacks left - all ready to play again another day!

Do another, PLEASE?

Suztours, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing! 'Not so hard as to be frustrating', huh? 14698 gave me grey hairs when I was testing! It knew it was doable, but I'd always end up losing a kazillion Jacks. That's why I ended up creating a safety net of sorts two rooms down. ;D

My next project is to build a room for Catacombs. If I have time after I might try my hand at another, especially since you asked so nicely. Wink

Cheers,

Arevn

Arevn,

I really enjoyed TRIAD so far (haven't finished it yet).... Lots of wild ideas....
Although I really wouldn't call any of it EASY, really, as someone else has said above.... in fact, some rooms were downright vicious !  8-)

A few things give me a bit of headache, e.g. room # 14301 (if I remember correctly), which you enter by jumping from a sinking platform in the room before, which in itself is hard enough.
Then you're supposed to land on a tiny bit of wall and/or a fast moving platform leading to a conveyor belt about to drop a green key into lava.
This is a potential JS situation, I'm afraid....since if you don't manage to claim the key in your first try and instead happen to die there, you are reborn on that tiny bit of wall, while that green key again is about to be dropped into the lava. So you realise in order to get to the key in time you must leave the room (=jump back onto the sinking platform) and jump right back in and do the
fast platform + conveyor belt manoevre
very quickly.

However there are 2 problems:
1. Jumping back into the room before is virtually impossible, as every time you do that you're killed by the zapper beam (above the sinking platform). Walking back is impossible as there is no floor (=death).
2. This results in repeated deaths and everytime you're reborn on that green wall bit with not enough time to claim that key.

I lost all my lives there (12 or more !!) and still was stuck !!  :'(  :o

The whole affair could easily be solved with a tiny bit of floor in the room to the right (next to the sinking platform) so that it's possible to shortly walk out of the room and back in without getting zapped or falling to your death !!

I'm surprised that none of the testers commented on that ?!   Undecided

Apart from that I really have much fun with Triad...!!

Room # 14301

Someone needs to do a bit more exploring. Wink

Oh, all right, I'll give you a hint (just highlight below this):

A careful observation of the room reveals a slidey pole and a lever. Hmm...

And Secret #17 nearby... which helps with the whole problem!

Why do I have so fewer points than Suztours without missing any secret? :-?

(Maybe I rushed trough one room without bothering about the money?)

Congrats at making it through, Toybox!

I'm not sure why you have less money. Did you get all extra 18 lives in the blue section?
