Wow, I'm impressed !!!    [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]

My Jack and I have played both your new mansions now, and each was a little jewel in itself!  Lots of surprises, some cool stuff for a newbie, and very fun to play..................But Too Short !!!   ;D

Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff, truly great to have a new designer in our MM family.  

thanks so much,

In Veronica's Ladders it's especially some of those ladders that have been (deliberately or not) designed with additional and sometimes 'faulty' ladder tiles which  - more often than not - result in cheap deaths.

Whereas in the first few instances it seems to be deliberately (severals ladders built net-like next to another - made to look like a
wooden garden wall
- type contraption (for need of a better word)) in later rooms there is often just one or two additional ladder-tile(s), apparently randomly placed....which often prevents Jack from accessing the ladder correctly - and ultiumately he falls to his death.

For a mansion that is meant to be
Easy to Normal
this isn't acceptable, IMHO.

I also remember a couple of cheap deaths, and a few other issues - like  doors Jack can jump over, other doors that do not open properly - but unfortunatley didn't take notes of room numbers.
And now that I think of it - the two last-mentioned issues could be in Spider World.........  I'll have to re-check.

Veronica - please don't get me wrong. I don't mention any of this to discourage you or dampen your enthusiasm or anything. I also don't put the
blame
on you...... because as I said - for a new designer there are many potential mistakes to make (and you defintely didn't make much!).....  it's just that I feel the beta-testing could have been a bit more extensive.

(Which, by the way, surprises me - 'cause I know that Semi-Native is usually a good beta-tester.)]]> Jack In Spider World thread I feel Veronica's first mansions could have needed a bit more testing to iron out some of the problems.
