Yeah majic1!
I've been waiting for your level all day!

I just downloaded it and I'm going to play it in just a minute. Can't wait.
As far as your original level, I'm sure it's good too. It's so hard to judge your own levels.

I usually have freightrain and my daughter try mine before I put them on, because I can't judge for myself.

I'm fortunate, it helps me catch mistakes.
I'll let you know what I think about this level. In the meantime, lots of hugs.

majic1,
Great level! I'm enjoying it a lot.

I still haven't gotten through all of it, but I am definitely having fun. Keep up the good work!

Good level, will take me awhile to get through it so I'll write now. Please do send in what you call your stupid one. If it has a heart in it, it is good enough for me

It is probably quite good, to us, just you . You are pumping out two in less than a day

I haven't seen any of yours that isn't good yet. I have other games to catch up on in playing but today is a good day for the heart ones

Just a note to SharonM - Usually, I, too, have my children play my levels before I submit them - the problem? They ARE PREJUDICE! Totally honest if something's stupid, too easy, etc., but in general, they have the same sense of what's fun (or not) as I do - well, after all, I DID raise them! The only REALLY good judge of my levels is my oldest son - he & his family live several miles away so I can't always get his opinion before I submit them. He has also bought the game, and once in awhile I'll email one to him if I REALLY NEED his opinion (like the level for the competition - and even then, he missed the fact that I DID NOT have a gate guarding the exit!!)

I know majic1,
Mine are too (prejudiced, I mean).

Mine will miss things too, but I find it fascinating to watch them solving my levels because they do it in different ways than I originally intended. They still miss things though, so don't feel bad.
BTW I think your younger two are good judges as well! All the levels you have posted have been extremely good!

I liked both of your Valentine's!

Altho I am stuck in a spot on this one....I just need Valentine chocolate to fuel my brain!
I find it interesting that for each of the Level Makers that have posted several levels, I can find a definite flavor that comes thru each time. I find it in mine as well. Do you notice that? Maybe as more and more levels are made that will change. It is like painting, everybody knows you are good at florals, and all of a sudden you are painting portraits.
This is a very creative group!

Yes ol'gramma,
I've noticed it too. You kind of know what to expect from each contributor as far as types of puzzles and styles. I look forward to reading the posts on these boards, because of the creativity and camaradery (don't think I spelled that right) and the just plain fun that I find here.!

I checked with the spell check on Word,

...............CAMARADERIE!
I couldn't find it either, so I thought of spell check and said why not. It worked only after I added the extra "A". Sometimes technology is handy.
