I like the fact that you can jump really high, and the graphics are very good. I was a little confused at first about where my character was (the reddish\/orange pixel didn't jump out at me). Also the blue portal looking thing in the background looked cool, but since it stood out so much I expected it to do something.\r\rOne last thing...is it possible to control the direction that you shoot, or is it always to the right? (Sorry if I missed something). I really enjoyed the game."},{"author_name":"edve98","author_uid":"45010","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 9:30am","epoch":1429521900,"text":"@Chadivision thank you for the insights. I did upload a bit newer version of the game with some bug fixes(all I did was just compile the game on Windows, as on Linux Unity3d isn't that stable). The player shoots to the direction of your mouse, and you can shoot up\/down\/left\/right - wherever you want."},{"author_name":"ccglp","author_uid":"34494","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 1:58pm","epoch":1429537980,"text":"Funny, it's like Super mario Sunshine, but in a minimalistic style.\rNow seriously, is a solid entry, good work.\r\r(I hate the sound effects, music is good)"},{"author_name":"ddalacu","author_uid":"51354","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 2:00pm","epoch":1429538100,"text":"Well a little more graphics on menu and player and this could of been realy good,i liked the fire spawning and the pixelate look of the game except the player the fire water idea is nice even though not very inovative.Nice game!"},{"author_name":"Marcellus","author_uid":"26515","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 2:02pm","epoch":1429538220,"text":"Nice minecraft reference, gameplay is a bit basic but game looks polished."},{"author_name":"edve98","author_uid":"45010","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 2:09pm","epoch":1429538640,"text":"Thank you everyone!

A lot more could have been done. Font size is way too small and a red dot only a few pixels big as a character with a red contrasted background I don't see as good design."},{"author_name":"Hyoga-3D","author_uid":"23927","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 4:28pm","epoch":1429546980,"text":"haha funny game, a bit simple, but nice, also in the begining I could not see my char, maybe he could be larger."},{"author_name":"kristof","author_uid":"11354","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 4:33pm","epoch":1429547280,"text":"This is fun! The jumping feels very precise. I also really like the fire animations! If I had to criticize one thing, it would be that the player character is only a red dot while everything else is pixelated...

I love your take on the theme using water as your weapon, and the effect looked nice. The FX and music were pretty good too. I died the first time because the player blended so well with the background, but after that I played many times trying to beat my score (nice job remembering the previous score btw, that really kept me playing)."},{"author_name":"ButtonMasherBros","author_uid":"11937","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 3:31pm","epoch":1429629960,"text":"As requested - BOOM, COMMENT!

Yes, now I really see the problem with player being very small\/portal being somewhat too distracting.
