Strange. Not too bad, though. Fair.

Squealspots (the Hogwarts-like academy in this comic) is an unusual setting to draw. The Dungeons of Doom had dark, narrow corridors, but Squealspots has lit corridors wide enough for three dragons. In Minetown, sometimes I tap 's' because a watchman blocks my corridor. In Squealspots, a group of peaceful monsters can block a hallway. Dudley zaps the wand of'Saruman!' he cried, and his voice grew in power and authority. 'Behold, I am not Gandalf the Grey, whom you betrayed. I am Gandalf the White, who has returned from death. You have no colour now, and I cast you from the order and from the Council.' He raised his hand, and spoke slowly in a clear cold voice. 'Saruman, your staff is broken.' There was a crack, and the staff split asunder in Saruman's hand, and the head of it fell down at Gandalf's feet. 'Go!' said Gandalf. With a cry Saruman fell back and crawled away.

You've been working on this for a long time, haven't you... I'm not sure whether to be impressed or creeped out. On another note, moving staircases remind me of Lufia 2 for some reason. I think there was a puzzle in that game where you had to catch a staircase that kept sliding out from under you when you tried to use it... Oh, and I just realized that you had a suit of armor standing in the corner in the first part. Nice touch. (I always tend to think when I see an [ that the armor is just lying heaped on the floor.)

Despite the lack of humor, I give it a "fair," if only because there was obviously quite a bit of work put into it.

I give it a Good, just because. Need I justify all my decisions? No!
