I like the idea itself and I'm a very big fan of mini-games. And so, the unstable difficulty of the worlds (I got stuck on the purple world) is understandable but a more stable difficulty would been nice (or at least a way to quit of a world and come back to it)."},{"author_name":"DvanderAart","author_uid":"39433","time":"Aug 27, 2014 @ 2:51pm","epoch":1409150760,"text":"One of the first that actually does something with the theme I have seen.

Some of them, however, are almost entirely luck based (the rings and the wind), while others seemed almost impossible (the zombies)."},{"author_name":"whilefun","author_uid":"7424","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 12:19am","epoch":1409271240,"text":"I found the controls to be super twitchy, but managed to beat the first couple levels. Some of the blocks were placed in such a way that I could not see where I was landing, as I had to jump over the top of the screen. The music was charming, and I enjoyed the silhouette backdrops. Nice job."},{"author_name":"dancingmad","author_uid":"39644","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 10:52pm","epoch":1409352420,"text":"I can't see the link between different gameplays, which is a bit confusing. In the world you're supposed to be flying, there is no fly sensation (scrolling the background would have been nice), and the speed of the character makes it so that only luck can make you win."},{"author_name":"Scipio Xaos","author_uid":"7742","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 3:07am","epoch":1409367720,"text":"I liked it.. but yea.. The World of Dreams was ridiculously tough.. As others have said you had to be lucky. Also, I couldn't be the game as it crashed twice. The first time on loading the World of Mystery, and the second time on loading the World of Speed. I don't know why as it completely froze my computer when it did so I had to hard boot.. twice. But yea.. It was still interesting."},{"author_name":"Ted Brown","author_uid":"12485","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 3:30am","epoch":1409369100,"text":"I love the concept! But making eight separate mini-games, in 48 hours, is rather difficult... as I guess you know now. :) The world of fire, for example, was essentially a crap shoot: I just sat at the bottom and waited for success, since I couldn't move fast enough to effect any real change. But, I want to repeat that the concept is solid, and the quotes a welcome addition."},{"author_name":"Empyrealhell","author_uid":"26650","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 3:51am","epoch":1409370360,"text":"The first world seems to be nothing but luck. The wind moves so fast, and is so plentiful, that it's actually impossible for me to dodge. I just left it on the bottom until the RNG eventually gave it enough time that it made it through.\r\rThe world of dreams had the same problem. Often times when one ring would spawn at the very top, the next would come all the way at the bottom. It was actually impossible to get to it. If it didn't have to be 10 in a row, it wouldn't have been as bad, but that was pretty aggravating.\r\rI finally gave up on the world of loneliness. The rate that the suns spawned at was significantly faster than I could move. By the time my character sped up enough that it became potentially possible, the fact that the shadow was the same color as the background made it impossible to be accurate in any way.\r\rYou got a lot of different mechanics in there, but if you're going to do PCG, you need to make sure that it generates in ways that can actually be beat. If you don't, you might as well just have a button that picks a random number until you win."},{"author_name":"mrexcessive","author_uid":"20788","time":"Aug 30, 2014 @ 5:27pm","epoch":1409419320,"text":"Indeed cannot run web version on Chrome\/W8.1 with standard security settings.
