I wanted that both the blue bird and the giant spider stayed alive, at least till Jack arrived on the bottom floor at the silver coins. To avoid accidents I changed the starting direction of the bird from right to left. It's also slightly higher.

In my urge to get the balance better I did remove the Grand Prix Brell. With pleasure re-installed!

Because the mansion needs to be normal, after many afterthoughts I left the idea of using the height of the floating floors as a hint.That is why I also removed the coloured balls. But you were right about the snakes. So I changed some things in the room. At a revisit you will have a small surprise.

Well, it wasn't a secret any more. But because you liked it I did re-install it and moved the needle yellow key over there.

Again the golden coin in the torch?

A new zip is not included yet. I first do a walk through the 'whole' BNW Purple and then post it.

BNW Purple 002.zip is included.

Concerning the missing € 50 I may give you this extra information. When Jack arrives back in the upper right corner of the starting room 16098, his best possible score is $ 3.225 with 1 secret and a key.

Edit:

In zip 002 at a few spots the money changed, but the total amount of dollars didn't.

About the giant spider and the blue bird (sounds like the title of a fable) also this. Assume Jack forgot to pull the lever in the lower left corner to open the grey door, doesn't it lead to a cheap death? IMO not, because before Jack arrives in the lower right corner coming from below, he did climb down the longest ladder with perfect view on both the not pulled lever and the closed grey door locking up the bird. So if Jack dies, a player mistake. But I am interested in what you think.

I know I'm probably missing something obvious, but you're going to have to help me. I've tried over and over again, and I feel very stupid.

Dear Semi-Native

I am so happy that you are trying to visit the still unfinished Brave New World! On my birthday, so it feels like a present!

Like you probably read I am busy with a thorough examination of the 'complete' mansion, starting with the first purple area. So my best advice is to download the BNW Purple 002 zip, added to my previous post. This small 'mansion' ends with a checkpoint.

I enclose an image of room 15898 so at once you may see the differences: more skeletons Cool

, a sign, only one green door, the red key moved ...

About a year ago I created the purple area without any T (trigger). Already in that time there was a kind of novelty concerning the skeletons. It was difficult to expose the novelty without spoiling the solution. The result was a rather hard room, like you experienced. Since I was eager to create a normal mansion in every way, I did make changes.

With the help of some Ts the room should play itself now. I hope.

O, and if you wonder why there are eleven Exclaim

skeletons, that is to make sure that the solution is NOT using all shields and offering all lives. That will always lead to game over.

Good luck!

In those days I made the first part of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and now I only remember the first room with Jack starting in the rain. About the 11 skeletons room maybe the brewer delivering a barrel with rum is new?
