Could use some more focus. Really nice art though.
I ran into a bugs where the raccoon lost his ability, but had it shooting the skeleton left for a bit. the skeleton got stuck in the wall after a world change, and eyepatch doesn't seem to have any special ability?

Cool interpretation of the theme. Lovely looking title screen and interesting mechanic!

@rRootagea > Thank you for your comment, the eyepatch girl was granted a hi-jump (for the moment) but for usability purpose you can use it when clicking twice on the up arrow.

I ran into some bugs and unfortunately the graphics bugs (scaling and blending) let the graphics down. However I did enjoy the games style of making you teach yourself.

is level 3 even possible? :C Though a really nice game. Controls were weird.

Loved it! A bit glitch but the idea was great and I loved playing it!

@WebFreak001> Thank you, our level designer is a little bit of an evil mastermind, we agree :)
@Capitals & @JTGaming2012> If the whole team has the time, we might improve graphics in post mortem

Cool characters, but it seems to be either glitching a lot, or I just don't get how to move forward. It could use more clear level design.

The Download Size is quite large, plus the speed is not that great.
Some tutorial would have been nice to know what to do and what not to do. I sometimes had some graphic glitches with the tiles (probably some float positioning on an int pixel grid?).

Besides that it is a solid and great game!

Interesting concept approached here, but felt like too much too soon! And, unfortunately there were a couple of bugs that ended up with me crashing out. :(

Cool art though! The look was really slick to everything.

Good game. Would like to play when the bugs where cleared.

That was cool, A bit glitchy though.
The character sprites were great, but it was a bit odd that they don't flip when you move left.
The goal wasn't very clear at first. The spikes also weren't particularly obvious.
The levels were nice and evil, shame there aren't more...

Interesting game. You should really put the music on a loop though. It plays through once and then ends.

It also has almost the same name as our game!

Even with the weird bugs (or weird screen features @@? )The art is super, and the levels are confussing but fun. Good job! :)
