Heh, I've been eating the Easter Egg immediately after leaving Warning: Earthquake Zone -- trying to complete the game as fast as possible. If you collect all the potions available on the higher levels you have enough for a reasonably safe gauntlet. I've been using the Pale Violet Potion on the Electric Sphere wave just because it's very difficult to avoid taking damage, but using it for the Venomous Skitters is an interesting idea.
