And also because she was the one who gave me that hint when I was struggling there in the first place. This is her glory, not mine



Edit:
This room is currently making me insane. I have a plan of what to do, but the problem is this:

Notice how there are no save points on that level?

I have to spend close to 1500 moves in order to get to the point I was at last, in order to try out a new tactic. And as this is trial and error, mostly... the new plan fails - and I have to start doing the 1500 moves again... and again... and again...

In case anyone wonders - my current plan is:
(No idea if it is a spoiler or not, but to be on the safe side...)

to try to walk through the room, and attack it from the East Entrance, where it would be easier to accomplish.

*Peeks at the room*

Oh...My...Gawd! All those roach queens, so evil. I am NOT looking forward to that level.

Crazyiness very crazy is all I can say and scary.

[taikara]

I'm on the same room. It's rough, I keep getting almost to the point I can continue, when I do some stupid move and die.

I think it's just mostly tedious to clear the room to the point you can actually move, and the tedium causes you to do dumb things.

I'll never get that far anyway, so I'm not too bothered, really.
My problem with the blob-with-eyes room is that unless I'm very much mistaken, there's only one possible path to the eyes. But I can never reach it, because by the time I get there, I'm surrounded by spawning little blobs and killed.

Edit: Never mind, I completed it at last.

Having a bit of trouble with this puzzle, if anyone could lend me some tips that would be great.

Well, that one should tell you all, really. If you look closely at it.

But in any case

You need to kill every bug with the mimic (apart from those that cross the bridge to where you are standing, of course).

OK, any chance of a hint for level 13? I've killed the roach but keep losing track when trying to trace the route back to the exit. 'm not surprised they got lots of negative feeback about that level

[Tom Henrik]

I could send you a map I made over PM if you want/need it

[taikara]

I didn't bother making a map.

You can trace your route back using the Restore function's ability to display screens.

[BeefontheBone]

That's what I was doing, I just kept losing track and getting annoyed with it. Now I'm getting frustrated trying to clear those roaches on 14 1N 1E

[BeefontheBone]

Got through level 14, but 15 is a bit ennervating - I keep clearing rooms only to find I have to restore to an earlier point and do them in a different order to avoid getting stuck. Gah!

[A. J. Raffles]

Oh, stop bragging!


I'm still on level 8....

[taikara]

Level 8 takes forever, it's not just you. I think many people would just quit there. The levels after, up to about 13, seemed stupidly easy in comparison.

And level 13 is just a lot more annoying than it is difficult. I think I had a headache for several hours due to that one.

14's a bit annoying, but it's okay, but I haven't played in a couple days due to workies (yay!) and having other things to do.

[DeathDude]

And here I am on level 7, ah wells easy so far, 8 getting worried when it comes.

[A. J. Raffles]

By the way, is it just me or does Beethro resemble Titan?



On a more topic-related note: yay, I finally finished level 8. The last room was a bit of a pain, though. I knew what to do, but I had to restart dozens of times...
