What a great game. The intro is incredible, followed up with a fun & beautiful game that is quick to pick up but will be a challenge to master. The music selection is the cherry on top."},{"author_name":"PunkerellaSummers","author_uid":"36420","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 5:28am","epoch":1408944180,"text":"Beautiful, though I am really really bad at it :)"},{"author_name":"greysphere","author_uid":"22521","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 6:24am","epoch":1408947540,"text":"Cool game.

It runs very smoothly for the amount of content you included (enemies, fireballs, obstacles, gates, flapping and numpad). I did not pick up too much on the theme.
