Great backstory.\r<br\/>I like the concept with the energy, but it got tiring when you'd have to wait for it to recharge. Your game was really addicting, and I got as far as the stage with the floating platforms. Maybe you should add some checkpoints to this, so you won't have to start all over every time.\r<br\/>Good job on the game!"},{"author_name":"coded_ninja","author_uid":"40682","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 2:30pm","epoch":1418048700,"text":"LexGear I can't export to Mac, because I don't have Mac computer. :( \r<br\/>Fnkee, thank you really much...You made my day better. \r<br\/>The energy is recharging slowly, because I wanted to don't jump just any time, you need to care with that."},{"author_name":"Random Abductions","author_uid":"29549","time":"Dec 8, 2014 @ 3:18pm","epoch":1418051580,"text":"Cool mechanic for as for the energy system. However, it is a lot of waiting for things to happen. Since you just wait in front of an enemy to regain enough energy to punch it in the face. Platforming is solid and the beer thing is quite funny.
