RED 1.1: Why did it stop?
Posted By: Mark LevinDate: 4/26/04 7:17 a.m.

Again, most of the difficulty of this level stems from lack of health, but there's also at least 1 critical problem that must be removed.


  • Prevent the player from cheating by tabbing the elevator switch through the wall and skipping the underground passage.
  • Add a 1x health charger to the corridors immediately after the first pass through the elevator shaft. It's extremely hard to avoid damage while fighting flying Beetles in such a small space, and the player deserves a recharge before having to face the very powerful monsters near the end of the level- a golden Beast and an exploding Beetle that will kill you at less than 1x health.
  • Change the switch that raises part of the shaft to raise the entire shaft. This prevents the player from falling back into the beginning of the level and getting trapped; it also provides a bit more space to use when clearing the next room.
  • Prevent the exit teleporter and pattern buffer from interfering with each other. My new idea for this is that the exit teleporter should be a yellow block similar to the ones on G3 Sunbathing, to remove any possible lack of recognition later on while the time limit is in effect. This block would be placed off to the side of the teleporter, so it is always the player's conscious decision to step into it.
