Wonderful level, love the shape and coloring of the map and the flashing 'windowz'.

Have you changed your e-mail address? There is no reason why you should not have received it, especially if Zu got it in his e-mail! (I could understand it if yours was the last entry in the index.)

No i did not change my e-mail adress.
You did sent me YellowSubmarine and this one did i get in my mailbox when you send it to me later ??

A very nice level with great art and a nice mood - though I admit that the timing in the pyramidz could be less tight. I've managed to get the Perfect anyway, though.

From thingz that I liked the most:

- The opening, where we just watch as thingz happen during the next 15 secondz or so.
- The idea of moving our grunt and enemy grunt with red portal, or, more precisely, how funnily it looks.
- The borderz of the level, I must say that such "rough" transition between water and space looks very nicely - too bad that there are no tilez designed specifically for this purpose and there are visible linez between not matching tilez...
- And obviously, the "windowz". It looks great on the map!

During the 'suggestion' phase of this CL, I replied to Gaby that it struck me as a view through a telescope ... and that it was too bad that there wasn't an easy way of making everything outside the circle transparent ... or (alternatively) a solid color (brassy, preferred) to heighten the illusion of viewing the haunted house through a telescope. Having everything working completely against the 'rules' of Gruntz enhanced the 'haunting' aspect of the puzzle.

I think I recalled a Rocky Roadz level that featured some pure black tilez in it, perhapz those could be used? (NotWithoutMyWingz to be exact)

This tile is created by hitting crt+F in the tile mode of the editor. (also holding down the keyz will rapidly create a row of them) It is a clear tile, I'm not sure where it can be changed to impassible.
Unfortunately the tile does not blend with the space background, thus the dirt tilez will have to be removed, and there would still be a noticeable block edge between tilez.
