The collision detection was a bit off, but it didn't affect gameplay at all (except for one time when I somehow managed to walk off the map and die). In the end, I think the fluidity of movement (and comfortable movement speed) really helped the game keep from being too tedious."},{"author_name":"PeculiarCarrot","author_uid":"34200","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 11:52am","epoch":1408967220,"text":"@clofresh - Thanks for letting me know! :D\r<br\/>@CogentInvalid - Thanks for the comment!

If you REALLY still want to download it, just go into your downloads (Ctrl+J) and click Recover Malicious File, then click Hurt me plenty.\r\n\r\nPerplexing Wormholes is a puzzle-type game where you teleport between two different worlds(that look the same :3) via wormholes. There are only three levels, because creating levels takes a buttload of precious time. Total play time is about 5-10 minutes, maybe more if you can't understand my pixel art. (No help screen, sorry! :c ) The .zip file includes a .txt that tells you the controls and how the game works.\r\n\r\nI had even less time than most people because being a minor, my parents were pretty strict about my computer usage. It's disappointing, because I didn't get to add all of the neat effects and polish that I love to add. ","title":"Perplexing Wormholes"}
