The idea has been done before, but I think your execution was really solid. I liked the little detail of the &quot;rec&quot; symbol in the bottom.

I had so many gameplay and level ideas that I really wanted to add - too little time! I also really wanted some better SFX and music, but oh well. Maybe next time I'll be a little quicker with the boilerplate libGDX stuff.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for the feedback!"},{"author_name":"TD5","author_uid":"39783","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 11:57am","epoch":1408967520,"text":"Really good graphics and interesting idea.

The mechanics are pretty good and solid, but the gameplay is kind boring. Nice job on the art too. It would be cool if you release a complete version of this game in the future."},{"author_name":"Jake Coxon","author_uid":"15096","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 2:26pm","epoch":1408976460,"text":"Cool game and really nice graphics. Would have been good to see some puzzles because currently you don't need to think too much about what to do. Also I don't think the mario jump sound really fit with the mood.

I'd like to keep working on this in the future. Unfortunately the first level was only meant as a training level, while the second level was rushed in at the end.

There were two things in particular that seemed off. The first is that the characters felt like they moved really slow. The second is that on the second level, I had a harder time jumping up that hole than I should have, it was too sensitive about what it considered a hit. Other than that, not bad at all. Some background music and a few more levels are all that's missing."},{"author_name":"SteveSalmond","author_uid":"24965","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 8:28am","epoch":1409041380,"text":"What a great game idea!

A lot of small details. :) Collision detection is a bit off at times (I fell through the floor on the first level), and the camera could be quicker (it only followed me slowly when I fell down in level 2), but overall, great work for 48 hours in a new framework!"},{"author_name":"little-burrito","author_uid":"38819","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 11:35pm","epoch":1409095800,"text":"I love that the characters move so slowly - the game is very well made and feels really solid.
