This looks pretty good. The screenshot with the cat looks spooky with the whole "TURN BACK OR YOU'LL DIE!" messageHaha, I guess people can see right through my early-and-not-very-elaborate message-scrambling scheme (or, at least, when the message mostly consists of 3-letter and 4-letter words). I tried to pick something simple for now so that I can still read the messages well enough to know exactly what they say; otherwise, once I finish formulating my final scrambler, then when I'm updating the messages to use it, I would have to decipher them first.

T_CTHTEThis might not be the final algorithm, though. Part of the problem with this one is that it resembles the text in Teenhmifnoeafgil a bit too much... but don't get the impression that the encoding scheme is at all similar. Maybe it is. Or maybe it isn't. That's for me to know and you to never find out.

So I got another look at those messages and the first one says "The first chance you get, enter", and the other one says "Go back the way you came, death awaits you if you go left".This is a small enough project, so I've yet to enlist any beta testers since it's easy enough to spot the kinks and work them out.
Spooky.
By the way, I can beta test. I provide awesome critisizm and am great in improving your level design! Do consider that sometime.
By the way, any specific, fast way to communicate with you?
As much as I'd like to test this level throughly, I seem to be unable to decypher those messages. The code is too much complicated for me, and I have to do a bunch of them.Decoding the messages really isn't necessary. While it is possible, doing it kinda defeats the purpose. But if you can tell me what you need the original text for, I can send you all the translations. Don't bother checking the scrambled text in the beta for typing errors, though; while a good deal of it was manually scrambled (and is thus prone to mistakes), I will at some point run everything through the descrambler to double check it.
If you could give me the whole thing already ready, I'd appreciate.
