The updated version of level 1 can be found here.
Again, comments, criticism, ideas, bugs, tilebugs, and music choices for the level (I'm still not satisfied with the musical choice.) A couple notes:

1. I didn't texture the background because it looks ugly in 8 bit colour, and because not much of layer 8 is visible anyway.

2. The level is dramatically easier, and is more suited for a level 1. There are a few more secrets, some nifty lighting effects and a few modified traps. Don't let your guard down...

Again, thank you to all the testers and advance thanks to those who will test.
