The level (using the Hocus Pocus Episode 1 tileset (which isn’t included (despite only about 130 people having it))), is a large castle with one goal: To collect 1,000 gems. The author apparently placed exactly 1,000 gems in this level, though you must remember you can get gems out of enemies.
There is a main area, and four dungeons, three of which are called “Monkey Dungeon”, so I presume the author got the text mixed up, and the fourth called “Secret Dungeon”, which you must read the readme to find.
All four dungeons are more or less packed full of gems and coins (if you get 100 coins, you get a sizable chunk of the 1,000 gems), and a few enemies. My favorite was probably the Secret dungeon, with the evil person and the icey area, with the Real Monkey dungeon in second.
Despite the tileset being (I think) fairly easy to use, the eyecandy isn’t all that great. The author did an ok job constructing a Forest area background (used the music for it, too), and had a variety of tiles, but most of the walls were the colorful blocks from the Iceland levels of Hocus Pocus. What other tiles there are, are often misused.
At the end, if you THINK you have 1,000 gems (the author has no way of checking if you do, obviously enough), you can go to an exit. I turned out to have 1,013 gems, but you’re free to beat that. So no, there’s nothing stopping you from running across the whole level, not entering any dungeons, and just going in the exit.
There’s also an area to thank the authors of this “cool and mysterious tileset”. Some of the Hocus stuff (lightning, potions, etc) flash around the names of Fooruman and Greenkiller, along with Black Ninja, Spotty and Violet.
Overall, if you want to see an.. interesting parody, you might want to download this. Might.

Heh, my first review on this website.:p
I thought it was an okay level, although I think people would just skip to the end of the level w/out collecting any gems whatsoever.9_9 I managed to get 1092 gems in this level, ehe. A download recommendation IMHO.

Good level. nice idea but, too many carrots in the monkey dungeon.The monkey dungeon is way too easy. Just like what Violet said about that you used some Iceland tiles. I don’t think you should do that but, everything else was fine. Can you make a third level?
I haven’t played the whole thing yet. I’ll tell you some more things about it when I finish it.[This review has been edited by BloodRabbit][This review has been edited by BloodRabbit]
