The platforming is pretty smooth. I felt a little out of control sometimes with left-right movement, slightly sharper turning might be in order.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I don't really know why the trail had to kill yellow guys. I played a second time and had no problem beating the game by just avoiding them.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Honestly, I would have prioritized making bigger and more interesting levels. I can accept a 1 minute game for a web game, but not for something I have to download and run myself.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, you should name the download files something more descriptive, I don't want a bunch of Windows.zip files sitting around, especially when I have tons of other Ludum Dare files in the same folder."},{"author_name":"huminaboz","author_uid":"41865","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 11:03pm","epoch":1429570680,"text":"Fun to play, the trail meets the theme.
