new mansion--Triad
#41
Now that is quite an achievment, Suz !!!

@ Arevn:

Yeah, I know.... but once I finished a mansion (even with only two third of the secrets found) I usually wait at least 2 weeks before I play it again....so it doesn't get overly familiar !

@ Arevn:

Thanks - but the thing is, I've been very sick for more than two weeks and taking medication that makes me feel like I'm speeding, very restless, even when I should be resting!  :o  So, instead, I push little Jack to hurry up and get through those mansions!  Tongue

I finish the meds by Wednesday and have lots of touring work coming up, so hopefully, at least Jack can take an actual rest for a bit!  Well, until the Tubes comes out, anyway!  :Smile

Ah, that famous room with the key falling into the lava?

I solved it very easily by failing to achieve the wrong solution Big Grin

How, praytell, did you solve it? Do you mean failing to achieve the correct solution?

Arevn
No no, I meant failing to achieve the wrong one: I tried something which would have not led to success, but failed. This made me discover by chance the proper way to go on ;D

And by the way, I had managed just under 12min (and missed the screenshot :Smile) I think there are one or two rooms where you can waste quite some time - I got lucky and managed to pass them quickly I guess.

LOL Whatever works, I guess!

Your time is excellent! The room that slows me down every time is 14698 ('Folie'). Those jumps just seem impossible to me. I would eat up a kazillion lives trying to pass it until I put in the 'safety net' two rooms down.

Yes, I had that room in mind when mentioning the harder ones. When I played last time I managed to lose just one Jack there (I missed the safety nets. I guess that won me some time too Wink). The previous time it had claimed a much heavier Jack toll!

Terrific mansion, Arevn. A little easy, a little normal, a little hard, a good bit of trickery and some humor - great balance (although my keyboard may not recover from the Folie jumps!). BTW, how much money was it possible to earn? I had 48,850.

Sherry, thanks for playing and taking the time to comment!

My keyboard had the same issue with Folie. ;D

Total money: 48850 You got it all, congrats!

This room is what makes the mansion normal, I think. Most of the rest of it is easy. Easy and hard averages out to normal, right? Wink

Well, arevn.....

I'm not sure if I'd call the rest of your mansion EASY either (apart from a few really easy rooms)..... but you're definitely right, when you say the whole thing is
normal
....

BTW....I usually have the same tendency....to
underestimate
the difficulty of my own creations (I remember I wanted to call The Void
normal-to-hard
first ;-) !!). As a builder you're so familiar with what you've created so of course it seems a bit easier to yourself than anyone else.
