The voice is very soothing and actually gives you a much better relation to the character. It's nice and all to know that the little dude is home safe, but I kind of wanted to continue his adventures. Great work!"},{"author_name":"Divitos","author_uid":"9732","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 7:40am","epoch":1418110500,"text":"I like the narrator, and the controls feels precise, but you feel a little too sluggish when in-air."},{"author_name":"stray","author_uid":"47087","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 7:43am","epoch":1418110680,"text":"really nice concept.\r<br\/>Goodjob dude"},{"author_name":"Jim Haslett","author_uid":"11411","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 10:22pm","epoch":1418163420,"text":"Divitos, That is on purpose.  You actually have no control while in the air, as you can't apply force to move right or left.  The controls are based loosely on physics.  The ground has friction, and you apply force (really just acceleration) based on that friction. Same for jumping and falling.  There is force (acceleration again) of gravity and jumping force that counteract each other."},{"author_name":"Newt_","author_uid":"34427","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 10:48pm","epoch":1418164980,"text":"Really liked the narrator!

It was an excellent game, and it's always nice to see a fellow LWJGL user! Only issue I had with it was that I was able to outrun the narrator's voice, starting the next sound-clip before the previous one had finished. Playing both at the same time.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That doesn't take away from the game at all in my opinion though. Great job!"},{"author_name":"HuntTheWumpus","author_uid":"30702","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 11:01pm","epoch":1418165760,"text":"Nice little game.

I thought the &quot;little dude found a box, looks like a parachute&quot; was hilarious, until I understood he actually found a parachute.
