This was a pretty neat miniquest, first I've played to utilise the Cambria tileset actually. For what it is, it's a pretty fun exploration quest with some neat ideas here and there. The custom bosses were cool and the overall design is neat. I do feel the difficulty is a tad broken since the Hammer is crazy strong in this quest but then by the end of it, it's actually fine because of the enemies. I'm not too big on the dungeons though, especially since you got walk through and bomb walls is in the most seemingly random spots. Sometimes there's hints for this, other times there isn't and that made things far more annoying to go through than it should be. Additionally, some secrets are a bit too obtuse for me and would really benefit with at least some minor visual cues to know there's something there, I'm not really a fan of the Z1-style crypticness of having a bomb spot in a completely random spot you'll never think about. Finally, there were a few bugs here and there. For example, the armos by Level 3 had no under combos, I find that dying and continuing in the mountain area gets you trapped in a corner, and Level 2 has a bad situation where you can't actually get a key because as you walk through a wall you go into a solid wall in the next room, making it impossible to finish unless you buy a key. Also in the final boss rush there's a walk through wall to the right of the first boss rematch which takes you into nothing.
With all this in mind, it was pretty neat and I enjoyed it despite the problems. A lot of things are minor and easy fixes but overall I'd give this one a 3.5/5 which rounds up to a 4.

I can't go through a walkthrough wall in Level 2. ... It was ok, I bought a key.

And when continue near Level 3, you get into the wall.

Any particular build of 2.55 that should be used? It crashes using either 74 or 92. When I use 109, which is supposedly the latest, I get a message saying "This quest was saved in a newer build of ZQuest, and may have issues loading in this build."
