It seems very simple at first, but levels 3-4 show that it has a lot of depth. I didn't complete level 5, however, because I got too frustrated by the god awful controls. I think the ball shouldn't move when you use the left or right arrow keys, only the camera should move. Again, the puzzle part was great, but the jumping part was extremely frustrating.\r<br\/>The music is hilarious!"},{"author_name":"akymos","author_uid":"33966","time":"Aug 29, 2014 @ 10:49am","epoch":1409309040,"text":"Theme song is awesome.

Maybe the controls should be independent of the camera?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I couldn't figure out how to play world 3, guess I suck. :(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the music. Yes, I know you just churned it out hastily by dubbing your own voice over itself a coupla times, but it's catchy, and the acapella nature of it just makes it that much cooler.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for making it!"},{"author_name":"Buttsteam","author_uid":"42335","time":"Sep 13, 2014 @ 3:46pm","epoch":1410622860,"text":"Fun game.
