Very juicy, love all the tweening and effects. That confetti is fabulous.\r<br\/>Pretty okay puzzles, but like many physics-based puzzle-platformers, can feel unfair and frustrating sometimes.\r<br\/>One particular nitpick: I wish jumping was easier. When you jump near some stairs holding a l\/r direction, you'd hit the sides which would reduce your vertical velocity and thus be unable to jump onto the next step. Pretty frustrating.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, great work!"},{"author_name":"madhoe","author_uid":"35189","time":"Apr 20, 2015 @ 3:11am","epoch":1429499160,"text":"Also, as above comment mentioned: I was also stuck on second level!
