The levels ain't too bad, but there are two things that are extremely glaring: For one, Level 5 has a super shortcut, whether that's intended or not. And Level 8 is ALL about trial and error:
I started going right, which yielded a dead end, so I went left and tried to climb up the ledge, but a loose floor fell and dropped me into spikes. Death Count: 1 So I lowered myself carefully down into the pit and then ran to the right, getting chomped by a chomper to the far left of the screen two screens later. Death Count: 2 On my next attempt I also sidestepped that and tried to kill the purple guard on the pressure plate. It failed, so I just jumped through the gate and drank the slowfall potion, realizing at the same time that the gate to the left of it was also triggered by the pressure plate one screen prior, so I made haste to jump over the two giant gaps. However, I was a tad too slow and fell into the large pit. Miraculously, I didn't die, even though Prince already screamed. I still consider my Death Count: 3. And another try: I lowered myself carefully into the spike pit, bypassed the obnoxious chomper, failed to put the guard onto the pressure plate again, but was fast enough this time to get through both gates, drink the slowfall potion and jump both gaps. Thinking I was home-free, I ran into the next room, only to be met by a yellow guard who struck me dead. Death Count: 4 That was when I quit the game and wrote this post.
All in all, this set isn't too bad. You yourself said it was supposed to be hard. But Level 8 has so much fake difficulty and trial-and-error in it, it almost hurts.
Thanks for playing!
I know level 5 has a shortcut, but I thought you won't going to notice it, but I underestimate you.
Leve 8 is supposed to be difficult, not the most. I thought this mod to make it harder than the others. However it's nothing compared with pop total pack hard mods.
The thing is that you have to be quicklier in some parts and careful in others.
One recommenation: when you are walking to another room do slow steps, so you wouldn't be chompered by a chomper or killed by a guard. I don't put guards in the edge of the room, excpept they are on their back you.
Anyway, thanks for playing my mod.
and I want to see you try them, and with "you" I mean all you players. It would make me happy.
