Getting to the half-way point was an awesome revelation of how this fits the theme.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>On my first attempt, there was a jump I just couldn't make - next try I didn't have that problem, and had a blast."},{"author_name":"SoulGame","author_uid":"42398","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 3:09am","epoch":1409022240,"text":"Liked it. The gameplay seems heavy and old-school at first but then you start feeling how accurate you have to be to time your jumps on your bike's wheels and its feels good to me. Nice implementation of the theme by the way. Hope you'll polish the game a bit more (like improve walls left\/right transitions, add in game instructions, musics, etc.) and release it for real.  Good luck with that."},{"author_name":"Docjekyll","author_uid":"41650","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 3:15am","epoch":1409022600,"text":"It's BEAUJIFUL. Seriously, nice art.

The sound effects, I enjoyed, background music would have been nice though, it gets a bit repetitive. Very interesting idea with the gravity changing half way through, that was not expected :) Moving from one side of the screen to the other could use some cleaning up, but otherwise, everything seemed to work how it was supposed to."},{"author_name":"akymos","author_uid":"33966","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 1:52pm","epoch":1409060820,"text":"Fun game!"},{"author_name":"SojaBird","author_uid":"31667","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 1:54pm","epoch":1409060940,"text":"Wow that's very good art!
