All 32 levels, plus two more.  Has anyone else played this?

I found it annoyingly frustrating at times.  The look of the levels
was amazing: the artwork, the colors, everything was superb.  The Imps
had a nice redesign that was kinda cool.

But...

It was very difficult to proceed sometimes.  The hidden areas were so
difficult to find, especially the ones that were necessary to complete
the level.  I needed to cheatcode my way through at least half a dozen
of the levels, including especially the last one.  I couldn't the
buttons/switches/whatever to merely be able to continue on playing.

Was it just me, or what?

Someone I know has said: 

"First time I got stuck for a LONG time on map 11. Just didn't see the 
logic... but it's there, and it's incredibly cool once you see it. The rest... 
X-marks-the-spot is usually your clue. Really."

Yes.

Yup. Eternal is super looking. I like Chris Colouer's levels:
Warcraft (MAP19), Seeker (MAP22), Rainbow Bridge (MAP24) and Dominion (MAP29)

But I like InterBase (MAP03). For me that is jaw-dropping just in terms of how it opens up.
A perfect level and Rich Nagel's music is gorgeous. Dia Westertech if I recall correctly.

MAP15 is great in terms of architecture.

My only complaint is the because levels are so big, they can look empty. 
More monsters, more ammo would be better.

Not unbelieveably hard. The Eternal web site has a full set of example LMPs
