It took me a little bit of time to get a hang on this walljump technique, and then there was this impossible leap of fate! \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Screw these d*** N'Gengulonians!"},{"author_name":"Muush","author_uid":"40819","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 3:45am","epoch":1418096400,"text":"I was having fun with it, but having the walljump only happen if you're facing away from a wall makes it feel cumbersome for some reason."},{"author_name":"SilentNight","author_uid":"38928","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 4:49am","epoch":1418100240,"text":"The walljump is a bit wonky, then agian I've never cared for them, but solid work.

I agree with some of the other comments - the wall jump is frustrating.

I toyed with changing it during production, but decided against it in the end.  I should have submitted earlier, I would've had the chance to change it.  Live and learn I guess.

And your character design is adorable. I would echo the sentiment that the walljump control is really counter-intuitive. I think a more suitable choice would have been to use the jump key to execute the wall jump, rather than having to press the opposite direction. Otherwise executing multiple wall jumps to scale a vertical wall becomes extremely frustrating: there is little forgiveness if you press the opposite direction a little too long. In any case, a nice little platformer."},{"author_name":"Ossi","author_uid":"26674","time":"Dec 11, 2014 @ 10:10pm","epoch":1418335500,"text":"Cool game!
