Ooh, a new puzzle/environmental level!
I've gotten as far as finding 3 items,
run & the eye, plus the red key,
and I
think I've explored everywhere I can reach without more powerups... aside from the
white/shadow area where apparently I'll need to get one or more powerups -- which hopefully are in there somewhere!
in order to get out again.
I found several 'secret' areas so far:
up that one waterfall to the blank sign dialogue room;
(was that meant to be blank?)
and several secret rooms I'm pretty sure only opened up once I had the correct powerup:
the spy/slacker at the lab; the runaway who asks for ice cream; the button room that seems to switch
which walls are no-climb, among other changes -- without other powerups, though, I can't seem take advantage of the switch yet;
...and I'm thinking I found one other secret-passage-type area, but I can't recall which or where. Maybe not.
The level has moments of loveliness scattered like gems in a riverbed. Most of the time it's visually subdued rather than spectacular; but, for example, there's one drop sequence between a 'just for decoration' part of the screen and a save-point where I dropped & ctrl-R'd repeatedly just to enjoy the view. You'll know where I mean, and it is truly a treat.
By the way, are you just a fan of the Artix behind AdventureQuest / DragonFable / MechQuest, or are you
the Artix?
