SPELUNKYING BONUS PAGE: HIGH SCORES

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

That was a really cool page! Hero and damsel make a good puzzle solving team. It reminds me a lot of that anime Phi Brain with the killer puzzles.

Except for the part where she almost totally got him killed, yeah! :D

That page was too 2d for my taste (had fun reading it regardless)

Yeah, I get what you mean. I did what I needed to convey what was happening. Having a proper 3D smash trap maze is a feat beyond my imagining.

Hey don't worry, it was cute in that way, that they didn't get the idea to simply jump out of the trap.

I just imagined the room being very thin. The 2D-ness didn't bother me at all.

I'm not a big fan of extensive cutaways, so I did imagine this chamber as open-faced on the one side. However, there may be some reasons why hopping out the 3D way was undesirable:

from me elsewhere
Without knowing the full dangers of the area, it's better to proceed safely than risk getting into something even worse.

Apart from that, I never showed the temple across from the chamber, but in my mind, it's no better than a sheer drop. It would've been complicated for them no matter what.

Gosh I hope that doesn't sound too defensive. :x

I think it was a perfect opportunity to break the fourth wall.
Actually, It's breaking it in a very subtle way.

I have to say, these last few pages conveyed the incredibly tense and danger-filled atmosphere of the temple area very well. It's just death and more death everywhere. Still, if all else fails, there's always the Man-Trap to cheer you up. Since Hero and Damsel don't seem to be looking for the bonus objectives, I'm sort of curious if that's what the plant is aiming for.

Well, enjoy it while you can. We're on the brink of when things start to get a little heavier. There will still be some humor to it, but the next update is the last purely goofy one before things start to get real. Isn't that exciting? :D

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Most BLUHs since Homestuck.

I remember when I first found one of those traps. I wasn't even aware that the Temple area has more than one type of trap. Even though I had already pre-emptively blown up a way out of it, it still terrified me when the thing actually triggered.

Bonus points for the obligatory hat rescue in the last two panels.

It was one of those things I just had to make happen, even in spite of the dire circumstances.
