Toybox,
I have tried to avoid
really cheap
deaths in this mansion, though I admit there are a few instances where the player must take good care.
I wouldn't call them cheap, though (especially when compared to what we have seen in some other recent mansions).
But first to
room # 14698, where you believe a life has to be sacrificed.
This is not the case.
I knew this disussion would come up, though..... as I used a lttle
gimmick innovation
in this room. (Originally I had planned to put up a BBB in this room explaining how to manage that bit without sacrificing a life, but there wasn't enough room for a BBB).
That's how it goes:
If you walk very slowly, one step at a time, Jack is able to
walk on lava
until he reaches the lever. (I advise to try pulling the lever carefully after every step, so as not to miss the
earliest point
where this is possible.
Once Jack has pulled the lever he must quickly jump back on safe ground (i.e. the nearest brick or platform).
If you're really careful this is possible without losing a life !!
I found that cute and innovative enough to include it here, even if it means some players will lose a life or two until they have figured out how it's working !!
Now to the other rooms:
Room # 14500: That was an oversight..... but since it only happens when returning (what you're returning for anyway, buddy
;D), I wouldn't call it a cheap death (as it was unplanned).
I will put the scorpion one step further down in the next update.
Room # 14502: It is perfectly possible to jump
in front of
that lava stream. Normally you shouldn't die there. Maybe you jumped too early, or too low or something ?!?
LATER (edt.): I just took a look.... there was one remaining bit of lava in layer-4, but only below jumping height. Apparently you walked too close to the lava before jumping. I have now removed that bit, so that only layer-5 lava remains.
Thanks for playing THE VOID. I hope you have fun.
