How to make control room dark?
I did not catch what to do with the torch in the tombs... I put light everywhere but did not notice any special effect...
Did I miss something?
SpoilerShow
You need to check the control room after making the writing on the wall dark.
SpoilerShow
In the room with stairs going down and up (where the clue is), place two torches, and you will see the hungry head.
BTW, if you find 10 secrets before going down to Level 2, please let me know. I found 9 of the 10.

the non-letal pit you jump into to get to level 5, and you are immediately surrounded by slimes (and your slimes are tough as nails, since they split on death). that was a hard fight mainly because after taking fall damage and automatically attacked by slime, my mage was already half dead after less than a second, and it is a while until you can reach a crystal from that spot. I would have liked to at least get a second to react before being attacked.
A third, similar thing was
SpoilerShow
the Goromorg fight at the end of level 6, since they force you to just tank them and hope your party gets through in one piece after facing 3 goromorgs without being able to move. At that point I had no shield spells so it was pretty much based on if I managed to freeze them before they got my mage.
The worst part of the dungeon yet was
SpoilerShow
the walk of death. Even though it is nicely done and fits the setting, at that point I was still trying to save some skill points to better be able to choose skills depending on what scrolls and items I found. It was so hard I had to spend all skill points to survive, and the fights felt unfair when you had to deal with poison, being stuck, hurt and no food. And then that tentacle blocking the exit, while I was poisoned and respawning zero XP skeletons coming from behind, that was just evil ;)
Looks like the source of annoyance is a hard difficulty setting. On normal I was able to nuke opponents before they do any serious harm. Anyway, I will think how to make these parts less challenging.
The best parts so far are level 6 which is unique and utterly confusing at first, and level 4 which had a beautiful but sinister feel to it. Kudos on those parts especially, and on all the puzzles!

Bugs I've found are minor, only that items that say they give attack power actually don't. Barbarian amulet, for example.
Hmm... Now I see. Attack power added to stats only when you use an amulet like a missile :? Thank you for report, will fix it in upcoming update (by changing attack power to another bonuses for non-weapon items). Please, report other bugs if there is any.
I do have to ask one thing though:
SpoilerShow
What was I supposed to sacrifice on the altar on level two?
Seems like xhantos already answered on this.

tried many things. Put items from the top to the botom, to the botom to the top, from the 3rd to the bottom, etc. Nothing works.
Some things come to mind, tough, but I also can't figure it alone.

Behind the square that have the spot where you get the test itens (flask, knife and other thing I don't remember), there's a light coming from above, looks like you can somehow be teleported to this square, but to do what, I don't know.

If you fall in one of those pits, I noticed that if you put something on the teleporter, the thing is teleported back to level above, like our party. But, if you throw, instead of just drop, the item is teleported 2 squares behind you on the same corridor. I wonder if it's a bug or part of the solution.

My best guess at this point is that you have to "feed" all the cages on a specific order, that I still didn't make.
SpoilerShow
Ok, here is solution:
1. Close all jailed pits exept the one nearest to the entrace.
2. Put an item on the top of each closed pit.
3. Throw an item into the first pit and run to the exit.
Hey, dude, it works (of course, lol)

thanks for your help :)

No, there are 10 secrets before you go down to Level 2 (This info is provided by Adrageron). I also found 9, you can have a look at my map (in the post in my signature), may be you found a different one and missed one I found...
