Waffle Pack - Discussion

Slime Pockets (#4): Blob level similar in style to The Incredibly Safe Maze and Compaction. The former of those does the style of invisible walls whose locations can be deduced by monster locations better, and the latter is entirely just the waiting for blobs to move. Not a strong pick from me, though if the blobs didn't need to be waited for, it would have fared better, but not as well as The Incredibly Safe Maze.

I think the whole "waiting for blobs to move" was the whole point and concept of the level so I don't know how it could have been done better the one thing I don't like about that level myself is the invisible walls - I don't think they were necessary.

Drift (#49): Another example of a neat level and fun puzzle being heavily brought down by arbitrary trap connections. It feels like the paramecia button should allow access to the tank button, the lowest trap button to the lowest trap, and the top trap button to the suction boots. However, only the last of these is a correct assumption- the paramecia gives you access to the teleport. I'm not sure what a better way to design this would have been, but there had to be some way to make the connections clearer.

Maybe it's just me because I've played this level dozens of times but I never once felt that the trap connections were arbitrary. Even on the first time ever playing it, I used logic to determine what needed to be done first and the order to progress. Not to mention the level isn't too large either. I didn't solve the level on the first attempt though so who knows.

Having It's Easy Being Green as your favorite in the pack kind of surprised me also
