Thanks, Sheryl !

That's the reason why I chose to simply name it JUMP! instead of the more descriptive names I normally use.....

The name might not be as imaginative as - say - Discotheque Of Doom, but it pretty much sums up what the mansion is about.

However, in the last third of the mansion the "jumping theme" takes somewhat of a backseat....to avoid becoming boring, and there are some reminisces of "Underground Fortress" and "The Four Tubes" to keep up the player's interest!

I'm glad most players seem to like this mansion, even if it's occasionally on the very hard side....    

Hi everybody!

Wow! What a hard Mansion! (and you say that some of my rooms are hard!!! )
Very exciting as well, thank you AquaMat, and "bravo"!
Terribly sorry to "put a cloud" on it, but isn't there a JS in 16296?...
(see Jack's feet on top- right of the attached picture, I came here with the pink mov.-platform).
Surcouf.

Yeah, what Rose said is exactly what I feel...and how I intended it to be.

For those players "stupid" enough   (or of such an "over-exploring mood") to jump up there, I thought the lava was enough to let 'em die....and be reborn on "safe ground".

How on earth did you manage to end up there alive ??    

I'm not sure if that really "qualifies" as a JS..... ?!

LATER:  I just re-checked my design of that room. I know now how you managed to end there alive. On purpose I had designed the rightmost tile (unit) of the upper lava (right above the moving platform) in Layer 5, as opposed to Layer 4 where the rest of the lava is.

The reason for this was, that I wanted to avoid that players who take the platform up would get killed simply because the top of Jack's head touches the Layer 4-lava.

Since all other tiles are Layer 4 normally a player who jumps up there almost always gets killed (as Jack is "wider" than 1 tile), so this should be enough. It was a design compromise (a rather clever one I might add  ) that I had to make.

But somehow you managed to really land in that one tile of lava that is not lethal.....BUT: even the tiniest move you'll make would result in death.....

And therefore I rather leave that like it is.
But thanks for telling me !

I take the freedom to plead in general (so not only about , which is a nice mansion btw) to avoid Jack-stucks, Half Jack-stucks and Cheap-deaths. Independant from the question if it is easy or difficult to repair. And also independant from the obvious-typical question: why did Jack go there.

As designers I truelly believe that we need to be on the alert for this type of mistakes, because they are very very very annoying for any player that encounters them. When a player is in a rarely good shape , it is  and and also  and  when you have to offer a Jack-life by suicide or even worse to quit the game.

Speaking for my self, I always felt ashamed when I created such error, but meanwhile liked to thank any reporter of my bugs and enjoyed the challenge to correct my mistake in a way as neat as possible.

Is the jump in 16298 really possible? It seems like I don't even come close.
