Too easy to cheat the AI by just waiting under the platform.

It was surprisingly satisfying to hear the tick as the stickmen went down to my pointy cursor. It would be great to see more variations and elements introduced to this game.

Great job!  Im not sure why I cant vote on theme though,  I think this was a perfect example of the theme."},{"author_name":"Squarlboy","author_uid":"50488","time":"Apr 27, 2015 @ 12:59am","epoch":1430096040,"text":"@bossmojoman: thinks for catching that i though theme was like atmosphere."},{"author_name":"ZYXer","author_uid":"20509","time":"Apr 27, 2015 @ 1:04am","epoch":1430096340,"text":"Quite an addictive game! I really like how this game plays with your instict to use the mouse to move your character. I think nearly each time I died was because I touched my player with the cursor while I was unconciously trying to make him move. Really good entry for your first LD."},{"author_name":"someone","author_uid":"1207","time":"Apr 27, 2015 @ 1:05am","epoch":1430096400,"text":"Cool idea. Could do with a difficulty curve or something.
