Last night things to do to complete this little Quest came to me via my subconscious mind. Also, the thought for a name for another Custom Level was given me: an oft-quoted admonishment to "XYZPDQ" (eXamine Your Zipper, Pretty Darn Quick). I extend this to any Gruntz Designer to create the Quest (without my limitation of size.)

On my last test I actually thought "outside the box", and discovered an unintentional solution to one of the minipuzzlez, so had to change two ordinary Ground Tilez to thwart the lazy. I will re-upload the map to my testing web host location, re-test and (if successful) re-upload the "View the map!" images. The unzipped portion of the zipper image had to be 4 tilez wide, which provided the loophole.

At least I beat any BETA tester to finding that mistake!

Got the PERFECT:



I wish the tiles could be matched better, but other than that, it's a decent level.

Out of all graphical glitches that aren't fixable on this level, there is one that actually could be corrected (and has no impact on the general look of the zipper):
On the plateau that the King's Fortress is placed on, the top two corners are mismatched (they are concave and should be convex).

Got the "Perfect" with a significantly faster time than anyone else (6:25)

I somewhat regret that I didn't Beta-Test this one because I would definitely suggest some changes, like adding gurgling effects to the tar and fixing the corners I mentioned in post above. Also, in the bottom part of the zipper, you can skip digging some holes if you just step one tile up and go diagonally.
