The jumping was very buggy, and this was the root of most of the problems I had; I simply couldn't control the character well. Ended up giving up on the &quot;Leap of Faith level&quot; because I simply couldn't remember where the door was. However, again, it's still very cool."},{"author_name":"OneTrueAaron","author_uid":"51147","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 9:51pm","epoch":1429566360,"text":"Really fun concept, and overall well done. The jumping was a bit jerky, and i couldn't figure out how to get past the Leap of Faith stage. My character either landed on the door, or got stuck in it if i put him in the right spot. Never did get past that level."},{"author_name":"rectangular Tim","author_uid":"39396","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 11:02pm","epoch":1429570620,"text":"Great mechanic.

The gravity is like that because I couldn't quite replicate the gravity Unity uses by default. Due to scaling the time I had to replace almost all the native physics in the game with custom made ones so I couldn't quite get the jump\/land right. Also collisions were a really big problem so 90% of the time spent on the game was making the time stopping mechanic actually work and only a few hours on music, art and level design. I'm glad I managed to make something people enjoy even if only for a few minutes. I'll keep working on the game and fix\/polish stuff and release it for free on itch.io."},{"author_name":"gormed","author_uid":"52027","time":"Apr 23, 2015 @ 10:35am","epoch":1429785000,"text":"Cool mechanic, but a little bit glitchy to use the time stopping.
