The graphics are awesome (I like the pseudo-3D background) and the sound effects made stomping on enemies very rewarding.

I found it via your blog post asking if we can get to the boss, and I don't think there's any possibility of me ever making it that far. Enemies continue to spawn, and eventually there's too many on the screen to really be able to play. Really like it though, feels smooth and is an overall fantastic LD game. :)"},{"author_name":"sebasRez","author_uid":"24404","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 4:22pm","epoch":1418314620,"text":"the floor is lava!

I liked the rotating well idea, though I felt that eventually there's so much on screen that you can't tell what you're doing! :\/ I liked the graphics and little touches like the screen-shake, they really helped the presentation.

Enemies also moved independently from me\/the stairs...\r<br\/>It was like I wasn't actually going upstairs. Like I was just at rest, until I decided to move.\r<br\/>And, when I saw a gif, I had really liked the background effect...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Other than that, it was a fun game. :)\r<br\/>The graphics are cute and I really liked that boss design.

When there is a lot of enemies on screen, it becomes heavily dependant on luck because of the limited control the player has(the fixed height of the jump and nothing else). The music loop also seemed to be a little broken? But the jumping was responsive, the graphics nice, and it was fairly fun and interesting for a LD game.
