More levels and a progression would have been nice. Some of the levels were too easy and one was really hard. But thats ok because the concept is great.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Btw.

I agree about the difficulty; the mechanics of the falling shelves could maybe be cleared up a bit. But a good take on a good concept!"},{"author_name":"Phil Strahl","author_uid":"47131","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 2:38am","epoch":1429583580,"text":"Ha! A fun little puzzler with the right amount of gore and violence in the right places! The mechanic feels fresh and new, the sound emphasizes the 8-bit style and the music is repetitive, yes, but not annoying like so many others. Personally, I found the screen-shake effect a bit too strong (I got nauseated), but I also ask drivers on public transport not to drive so fast, because I'm old.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Unfortunately I stuck after a couple of rooms and gave up after 20 minutes of brooding. A really fun game, keep working on it!"},{"author_name":"clegamecoop","author_uid":"53062","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 2:38am","epoch":1429583580,"text":"That was actually pretty awesome and very clever. I got stuck on level 10 for a bi, but finally figured it out. Awesome job!!"},{"author_name":"rjhelms","author_uid":"39055","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 2:40am","epoch":1429583700,"text":"Fits the theme really well. Funny idea, and charming programmer art. The Xbox controller support was a really nice touch.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I agree with other commenters that the difficulty spiked - I think it was 3 levels before the end?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great work!"},{"author_name":"pkenney","author_uid":"30865","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 2:44am","epoch":1429583940,"text":"Haha I didn't even notice &quot;I am death&quot; playing, not until I saw the screenshot.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I beat the game.  My favorite part was your way of introducing mechanics through a simple level rather than a wordy tutorial... show don't tell, definitely appreciate that!  Another wise choice was the ultrafast retry that didn't even wait for animations to complete.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>There was one level that was pretty darn tricky and it took me a while to figure it out.  Other than that I felt maybe it was a bit too easy for most levels.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>However I think you did a great job, it's an interesting original mechanic and I liked the presentation.  I was skeptical of the screen shot at first but I gotta say the game made good on the style.  Screenshake also a nice touch.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Well done!"},{"author_name":"Jv the Wanderer","author_uid":"50824","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 2:46am","epoch":1429584060,"text":"The Puzzle were really challenging.

It also felt good to stick with the puzzles and figure them out, but I would agree that the difficulty scaling felt too intense. Overall a wonderful job though!"},{"author_name":"TeamQuadratic","author_uid":"18547","time":"Apr 28, 2015 @ 12:37am","epoch":1430181120,"text":"Ha ha interesting concept.
