The controls felt kind of awkward, the guy seamed to just keeps walking after you let go of the button.  Nice job."},{"author_name":"Andrea","author_uid":"44353","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 5:48pm","epoch":1418060580,"text":"Great work! Admittedly the controls are a little frustrating, but the idea of the maze that changes is great and it was a challenge getting out of it!\r<br\/>Considering the key are not always accessible even if you can see them, maybe having a larger field of vision wouldn't have been such a bad idea :p\r<br\/>First jam and first game made for me too :)"},{"author_name":"FerraWare","author_uid":"45480","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 6:05am","epoch":1418104800,"text":"It's a nice little game, but if you want to further develop it, I have a few comments for you:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>1. The controls feel a little sluggish, you might want to remake them\r<br\/>2. Keys can spawn over you if when you press a lever\r<br\/>3. You might want to consider some kind of a minimap, or some way to know if a key is near.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Cool game though, I'll look forward to your next entry!"},{"author_name":"oh_cripes","author_uid":"2924","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 12:02pm","epoch":1418126220,"text":"Sort of confusing, but really interesting too I thought. I like the really small field of view and the feeling of being lost. I was quite confused by what happened when I flipped a switch, I started to understand that the maze was being altered, but things were still in the same place.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think it would be really interesting to see where you could take this concept. I think beginning with smaller levels and having more variety of things to encounter, enemies and treasure, would be really cool.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall I really liked it, mainly mood and innovation. The music was alright but the loop was way too short and the graphics were a bit meh if I'm honest. Great game though!"},{"author_name":"CustomPhase","author_uid":"20604","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 7:01pm","epoch":1418151360,"text":"Not too shabby for the first game finished, in my opinion. Yeah, controls are something that needs to be fixed, but everything else will come with experience."},{"author_name":"indie4fun","author_uid":"47505","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 7:07pm","epoch":1418151720,"text":"The concept and the mood are ok, but the gameplay seems a little confusing.

The controls were.. weird because of the &quot;tile based&quot; movement. The music was good, but too short, so the loop became more of an annoyance in the long run. I liked the graphics, especially your menu screen was very well done! For a first game I'd say this was well done!"},{"author_name":"rodobodolfo","author_uid":"44770","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 10:07pm","epoch":1418162520,"text":"Good Idea.

Cool concept - very hard.  I liked it.  I thought the music loop was a bit short though, and it didn't loop properly (beat has a hiccup) I think a longer, less repetitive music loop would have been a bit easier on the ears.  I really liked the level change buzz though."},{"author_name":"Incredible Ape","author_uid":"12165","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 7:04pm","epoch":1418497140,"text":"Ominous mood--it's nice to see some games capitalizing on the tension of darknesss."},{"author_name":"hbocao","author_uid":"25980","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 7:16pm","epoch":1418497860,"text":"First of all, congratulation on your first game! You should be proud. It's a solid entry! The walking feels a little odd and the bg music could be a little longer, but that's totally fixable.
