I just finished it and frankly i think the lower levels are a bit overkill for the game engine. Maybe it's my computer which is not up to the job, but it's the first time it happens with Grimrock (i have a Quad Core CPU with a Geforce 760GT, but sometims the fps went really low, especially during dragon battles). The dragons keep being used as final bosses but i'm not a fan of them as their most annoying feat is that they retailate immediately after a hit which is quite unfair for the player. We need a new end-game monster. All in all it's been a good dungeon and i quite liked it, except for the hard mode which is more like a trial-and-error experience like the original Dragon's Lair - just a matter of luck and patience.
I've reached level 5 so far and i really like this dungeon. Clever puzzles and design, cool secrets to be found and really good difficulty balance (oh, and i really appreciate the rewarding system which helps to keep the appeal). Great work indeed! Looking forward finishing it!
I found a few minor bugs here and there which should be easily fixed (minor spoilers alert):
All Levels: the custom coloured crystals often show a ugly shadow effect below them which looks like as if they're suspended on ink. All levels: some of the notes left by josh do not wrap text and it actually gets outside the borders of the note item. Level 1 : the writing "quickly through here" on the hidden wall suffers of a heavy flickering effect whcih almost makes it not visible. Level 1 : the sliding door in Josh's Room when opened covers half of the crystal. Not really a bug. Level 2 : in the small room with stairs where it says "mechanical access junction" a wall suffers of a strange flickering effect. When going down or up towards either of the stairs during the animation you can clearly see for an instant that there are 2 perpendicular stairs superimposed.
it's a shame but i'm stuck in the first puzzle. what have i to do with this "5 equals now"? i put 5 snail food on the bottom and then more or less but it doesn't do anything
You have to make the virtual counter to "zero", meaning that it starts as 5, then it says "more" so it becomes "6", then afterwards you must press the "less" platforms 6 times so that it becomes zero. No items are needed at all, just step on the platforms.

That's all for now. Keep up the good job!
