Yay, I'll play this as soon as I'm back from the New Year's event.

This adventure could really use a Spy-Eye, especially for the rotating transporter puzzle.

Here's my feedback on what I played so far. I haven't completed it yet.

West: Decent, but it seems to me like you're really starting to overuse these rotating transporter puzzles.
Southwest: Good Spikeyball redirection puzzle!
South: Nice ice puzzle.
Southeast: Avoiding TollGates is interesting, but did you really need to have THREE Chompers? It was frustrating. Just one Chomper would have been better.
East: I haven't seen an ice/bridge puzzle like this before. Great!
Northeast: I JUST LOVE DYING EVERY TWO SECONDS.
North: I haven't gotten the Magic Gloves yet.
Northwest: That quiz is just so unfair, especially since you don't know what answer(s) you got wrong. I don't even pay attention to half the things he mentioned, like the number of Rainbow coins in the room. Also, what "labyrinth demo" was he talking about? The one in WA1? THIS IS WHY I STOPPED PUTTING MR. BILLBOARD IN MY ADVENTURES!!!!!!!!!!111

I beat it. Pesky Chompers.

Near the end there, were you mocking my old puzzle style?

It was decent. You're certainly getting better than you were, though.

It seems to me like you're using monsters to make an otherwise easy section difficult, and not the good kind of difficult either, like in the TollGate and Magic areas of this adventure. Instead of adding monsters, make the actual puzzle require more thinking and/or planning. If you can do this, then I think you'll become a much more appealing designer overall.

I didn't find the Tollgate area frustrating, I thought it forced you to be strategic in picking your path.

I'm fine with you using monsters; Just don't use a bunch of them to make an otherwise easy puzzle hard (i.e. fake difficulty). When puzzles are like that, it often ends up more annoying than fun.

It did, but having three Chompers was a bit unforgiving.

YAY.

AWW.
-There is a Spy-Eye at the beginning.
-The duck will restart the quiz immediately when you get a question wrong.
-Some of the duck's questions have had further hints added so as to make them easier.
YAY.

I believe you will find this version substantially less frustrating.

My comments in bold. Not that you have reason to care about them.
