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.

Found another JS in Leofani Manor Normal, room 16501. You can get the bat platform to somehow skip the trapdoor at the bottom, and shoot all the way to the top of the room! If you jump off the platform when it is about to enter the next room, you'll unexpectedly just pass the trapdoor. See the attachment.

If you jump to the left, you will get permanently stuck (since you'll restart on what is considered 'safe ground' such as on top of that generator seen in the screenshot)

Also, I sometimes have problems with jumping constantly on fast downwards platforms as well - sometimes I'll die from being considered falling too far when the platform moving downward should catch my downwards momentum.

This is impossible. I just checked and there are invisible blockers I placed above each trap door in all three difficulties. Are you sure you didn't do something about those blockers? Shocked

Actually, it's not impossible - I was just able to duplicate it myself in the level builder, and yes, the hidden blocker was in place so it shouldn't have happened... but it did. The only thing I can think of was due to some game glitch the platform appeared in the next room above the hidden blocker due to Jack jumping immediately before leaving the room below the one with the trapdoor.

I ended up stranded on the ceiling, but no less stuck. It's definitely a game issue, Anthony. Your setup was reasonable and the issue shouldn't have been possible.
