When you die do you turn into a pile of bloddy fingers? ^_^ You put a lot of levels into this, and there were a fair number of different mechanics, this game was really well done. Good work!\r<br\/>PS.

The click-to-move mechanic could use a little tightening up, but worked fairly well most of the time.  This could be my unfamiliarity with the system though.  The art is a little &quot;programmer-y&quot; but that's easy to look passed.  Music's not terrible, but get's a little grating after a while, especially if you're flustered with a particularly difficult obstacle, but the death voice made me chuckle.  overall, it's cool but needs a little more polish.  Great effort either way."},{"author_name":"TiagoJDFerreira","author_uid":"45461","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 10:29am","epoch":1418207040,"text":"As I play with a touch pad (mac) it becomes a little hard to play later in the game, but I enjoyed it.
