Yeah, that's level starting to collapse, encouraging the player to push on. It's the most complained about feature. I think it's necessary for a number of design reasons, but I'll probably increase the delay.

Like I said, the problem is not the smog, it's the enormous lag / performance drop it causes.

There's a new version of the game up today. It includes:

• New dungeon features like secret doors, pits, hidden journals, etc
• Respawning with a soulstone starts you where you died with brief invulnerability
• Improvements to client performance
• Ricochets do less damage, they're still fun but not as overpowered as they were before.
• Multishot is slightly less energy intensive
• Improved the display of Rogue's freeze attack
• Slightly extended Warrior's spin attack range
• General increase in the mid to late level difficulties.

Give it a try and let me know what you think:
