+1 to other comments on the low contrast of the text on background and that paragraphs are a little wordy to use during play. I liked the detail of the rooms and they present interesting traps and challenges!

Excellent alliteration. Also, the illustration for The Sword of Ape Power might be my favorite piece of original art that I've seen so far!

Great dungeon! My only critique is that I found it difficult to read. The white text on a light lavender background was a bit hard on the eyes. Perhaps consider darkening the lavender if you make a second version?

It could just be my monitor, and I quite like the choice of colors, but I had a bit of trouble reading the text. You might consider releasing an alternate version with the text in black.

The Sword of Ape Power is well described; I like how its ability functions and that it relies on INT. The artwork all worked well.

You did a good job sprinkling magic throughout the adventure with the use of force-fields, rainbows, and other bits here and there.

I found the cover oddly compelling. It would be better if you reduced the spacing between sentences. Also, using more paragraphs and bullet points would increase readability.
