I loved discovering new traps in each of my 4 playthroughs.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The graphics were wonderfully intricate during gameplay, but the 8x8 characters don't look very good enlarged (like on the title screen).

Let's see:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Bad:\r<br\/>-Certain things you can do completely break the outcomes.
