A brief history of the game At first there was Midnight Mansion, now often called MM1. This game package was for Mac only and contained 8 mansions, each on easy, normal and hard level. Above that there was a builder included, so that customers could design mansions themselves. Then there was Midnight Mansion HD, now abbreviated as MM1 HD for both Mac and Windows. It contained the 3x8 mansions from MM1 plus 3x a bonus mansion: Tomb of Princes. All in high definition! Actionsoft's latest game, Midnight Mansion 2: The Haunted Hills, includes 28 mansions with a lot of new features. The 8 built-in mansions have 3 difficulties along with 4 extra custom mansions. Yes indeed, the MM2 package also has an included builder to create mansions! Custom mansions In the past decades several customers started experimenting with the builders. Creating rooms. Talking about it on the Midnight Mansion Forums. Sending their own designed mansions to other board members to test them. And finally sending them to the administrators of MMF. Result? Nearly 200 extra mansions are downloadable from these boards and some of them have over 100 rooms. If you like to download custom mansions, go to the General Custom Mansions Area (Mac and Windows) where you find the lists with all the download spots.

That took a while to do, so many game overs... ouch. I had 0 lives left when I entered the winning room.

Was a quite enjoyable (*COUGH*) mansion there AquaMat. This is definitely another Aquamat-styled mansion.

Here where my cons of the mansion:

Many, many... many... deaths occurred from your evil tricks. Most were unfair and really hard to get out of. (E.g. you are holding down your movement key from a room and you fall off a cliff in the next with only 1 tile brick in the next room between you and the cliff) Those have happened to me plenty of times.

   Rooms with things such as a moving platform and a bowl of lava which you have to jump across from the moving platform and is constantly bouncing around can be quite ... annoying. Many players (especially older ones) only can test their luck and have a 50-50 chance to get it right.

   Your sneaky way of hiding things was quite confusing, took me so long to look around for it, but when I found it I died and just opened a save therefore reducing time. The total gameplay time if I didn't open saves, probably 2-3 hours.

   Nevertheless the mansion is quite enjoyable the way it is; I'm not asking you to change anything just giving you my thoughts.

It definitely was hard, but after you won, you get to brag about it on the forums with screen shots. Tongue

Overall, I really liked it.
Will look forward to more work from you.

You got through the mansion, so you Won!!! Yes, aquamat's mansions can be hard and sneaky, but that's what keeps us "older" ones going !!! BTW; what is 'opening saves' ?!?!? Can't wait for both you and aquaMat to make more mansions! Thanks, SandyBean

You know, when you get the GAME OVER screen and have to click the "Open Game" button on the menu and select your last save file.

OK, thanks Wingy, I get it now. You go through the section, figure out what to do, maybe lose a few lives, and then open at your last save point to spare some time, already knowing where to be careful.

Thanks for explaining, I just thought this was a special way of making new save points that I had not heard of yet.
