Blade traps!
« on: May 22, 2012, 04:03:34 pm »
In there supposed to be this many blade traps in this small an area?  You can't see them all in this screenshot, but by panning with the mouse, there are 26 blade traps just within view of my character.  This seems like way too much, for something indestructible.  If they were destructible, it might make a fun challenge, though.

Depends on the infestation type -- sounds like you had a heavy infestation of them.

On a related note: are blade traps supposed to be able to toggle the red/blue spheres in puzzle rooms? Getting blades in a puzzle seems to make it nigh-unsolveable because spheres are being toggled all the time by colliding with blades.

I imagine either they shouldn't be toggling the spheres, or shouldn't be spawning in puzzle rooms at all. It's a write-off of a puzzle if you get traps inside.

They aren't supposed to be in puzzle rooms, but I've not had a chance to make that so quite yet. :)

Thank you!

Also, crap. I completely forgot about mantis.

I hope I can remember my password, it's been a while.

No worries!

And for that one I've got it on my list already, so no need to go to mantis for that one.

How about a simpler puzzle with blades for the new puzzle list?
