Fifteen Etudes

Fifteen levels that aim to be fun and challenging, but not *too* challenging. As a design philosophy, the levels are mostly based on built-in objects used in clever ways, instead of custom elements. Inspired by Equinox Tetrachloride's levelsets and old Amiga MODs.

Most of this levelset was made in late 2011, I think. I since lost all of the solution tapes, but I assure you that each level is possible.

(EDIT: Welp, most of these are actually harder than I remember them. I guess you should at least not feel bad about saving halfway through some of the levels.)

Very nice levels, nice looking "dark" theme and cool MOD tunes -- great work! :-)

BTW: If you should ever find those solution tapes, or should be able to re-record them, it would be nice to add them (and I could then add your set to my automatic engine test-run, to ensure they will always be solvable also with future versions of R'n'D (even though the R'n'D game engine is not expected to change that much anymore, but you never know)).

Nice to be an inspiration for something :)

I agree they are quite hard! "Prague" (rocks and balloons over acid) is very devious.

BTW, I made another level set not too long ago, which will hopefully make it into the next release.
