I wanted to thank everyone that posted comments and sent feedback through messages. I have already made several improvements based on the feedback give so far, so please keep it coming!
Changes made over the last few days:

- sub boss room adjustments made for better clarity and exiting the screen
- altered the weeds by redrawing elements, animating the weeds and changing color so they stand out/look more threatening
- changed the presentation of secret areas so passages out would be far easier to read
- added additional loot in secret passages to reward the exploration
- lowered hit point value for jumping "cave dweller" to lower the difficulty in the dark cave area

Ladders can be quiet difficult at times, I am hoping to find a solution so the player can locked onto them and does not animate unless up or down is pushed.
More to come, I will be posting a play through at some point soon after I have gotten a bit more feedback.

A couple of quick updates:
Ladders are fixed (thanks Dale!)
You can now travel down a ladder without falling! It makes it far easier moving vertically from screen to screen!


And I wanted to share the weeds, its a little thing, but way more interesting now!

I will be updating the version that is there in a matter of days that contains the ladder code fix and will let everyone know when its up.

I am still looking for feedback on the later areas (temple, dark cave, cemetery at sunset) so if anyone has any feedback for those areas, please let me know!
Thank you...

Ah, that's weed! I thought it were flames. The newly added animation are nice addition. I remember getting hurt by them, because I didn't realize they were enemies ^^
I think it's clearer now.

Thank you DIrk and glad to hear you played through, I will love to get your feedback when you get time. And It does look a bit like fire, hopefully looks enough like an evil weed now!
I could always add an drawing to the booklet to call it out as a weed.
