One tile = one cubit ... plus a border around it. The King's Fortress will be (of course!  ) in the "Holy of Holies", and the pool of water will be "The Brazen Laver" (where the High Priest (nasty fellow!) washez before entering "The Holy Place" (which surroundz the "Holy of Holies") ... probably parading around it with a 'butter knife') on a pedestal (plateau). Beware of the troop of gatekeeperz   in the outer court! There are twelve of them, and you will need all of the Goo Puddlez   left behind when they discover "resistance is futile". My goal is to make this one playable in 'Easy' mode to a " PERFECT!" score ... only Warp letterz acquired via Secretz. |

Design and ALPHA testing are complete through two-thirdz of "The Holy Place" ... left to do is the altar of incense and the open area around it. Remember, it is not possible to enter "The Holy Of Holiez" without a sacrifice!

I think this one is tough enough, so am ready to have someone BETA test it for me. |

ALPHA testing is complete ... the Statz Page is a good example of the final version to be released. At this time, the only EyeCandy objectz that exist are helpz for where it is necessary to dig, a corner piece to show one border of each section that does not have a 'wall' (Pyramidz of some sort) and the base of the Menorah. There are also no Voicez ... yet. Those will be added after BETA testing is complete, and any correctionz necessary have been made.

I provided two solutionz for the final section ... in case the intended one (no deathz) doesn't work for you, you can provide your own sacrifice to complete the puzzle.

Is there no one willing to be a (or the) BETA tester for this Custom Level? I just know that if I sent it out based only upon my own testing, that I would have someone find out that I missed something that could prove to be embarrassing.  Or that someone would find an unintended solution to one of the mini-puzzlez ... which would be rather embarrassing all by itself! Particularly since I tried very hard to make this Custom Level as linear as possible, and playable to a " PERFECT!" score in 'Easy' mode (if it is ever possible to achieve that without activating a '?' Switch  ) ... I don't know, since I have never played in 'Easy' mode'. |

Sorry Gooroo but i have no time to do beta test and my English are not so good to explain the problems when they are in the beta levels |

Ooooopz! I forgot to add in Voicez before I sent it out. Oh well, they would not have changed play any, just (perhapz) given a warning about a somewhat troublesome section coming up.

Well, I'm stuck already. I have 12 goo puddlez and one grunt just resurrected with hitopz, and of course one shovel. I see no way to suck up the goo and nowhere else to go. Help?

Is there a secret as to where to dig? I found another shovel but so far only empty holez. I have goo on some of them so don't want to dig there and lose the goo. A hint maybe?

I did that. There is a lot of zap cola, a coin, a shovel, and an arrow. The only thing left is a cupcake that I cannot break.

Stuck again. I gave the springz to toobz and now he is stuck after going through the spikey area. I need to get shovelz to the holez in the ne by the BOT but he can't make it. Springz can go through the rw but the black pyramidz are up so he cannot progress. I don't know where else to go.

I think you're very devious. I sacrificed something and now seem to be able to carry on. We'll see what happens.
