    • Traps and other nasty things.


      In this topic I want to gather various trap ideas and other things that makes Ferazel hard to play.

      One of my first traps I used in the level Frozen mines in Knight of NI´s world.
      Two scythes hands next to each other.
      "Easy to pass them, just to wait in the middle of them and walk past one of them at a time" you would say.
      Too bad that the floor between them cracks open to reveal a pool of cold water.

      Another trap is to place a minecart at the top of a hill where the player cannot see what is below.
      Then place something like lava below.

    • Here's one. Link a teleporter to scenery in the middle of an enclosed room (or tons of other mean things, acid, empty space, etc.) Or put a death powerup in a chest.

      He was a lame duck. Not the metaphoical lame duck, but a real lame duck. One that had stepped on a land mine.

    • Put a death powerup in a chest? How silly is that? If you're going to be super evil be super evil the right way, one of my levels has 50 death powerups in a chest. You just aren't evil enough. 😉

    • In Extemperaneous I had fun with enclosed spaces filled with water without any hope of escape. The next update will have a lot of fun traps. Change the code of a floor piece (that you don't use) to that of nothing. Then make a path of Xichrons over the hole 🙂 Also, make sure you are careful with the randomized tiles command. Then there's the old pillar-opened-by-the-button-in-front-of-it-that-closes-after-the-person-enters trap. : :passes out with exhaustion::

      Apu: Well, if the police won't help us, we'll simply have to take the law into our own hands.
      Wiggum: Yeah, yeah! A lot of people are doing that these days.

    • You can´t beat mine:
      Create a passage with masked foreground and put a death powerup inside the passage.
      An unexperienced Ferazel player won´t understand anything when he suddently dies!

    • Don't mind me...I'm just making notes as to whose levels NOT to play...

      Thanks for the heads up, guys. I'd prefer not wasting my time on a game that will be impossible for me to play through. 🙂

    • I won't reveal my cruel plans.
      Other people may steal them.

      Zelda and MonsterLady: Don't worry, I won't make my normal levels too mean.
      However, one of the realms in OBW will be very hard.
