The platforming itself was very bad however, I often double jumped when I wasn't even holding jump and collision with platforms was off at times making playing very frustrating which was a shame as the aesthetics of the game are very well made. Additionally I think that there should be some sort of UI element telling you about the number of stars you have collected.\r\rThe game excels in graphical design but lacks stable gameplay, even so this is very impressive for a first Ludum Dare entry, I'm sure you'll improve greatly over time :)"},{"author_name":"Kiwiboi","author_uid":"20891","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 2:09pm","epoch":1409061840,"text":"I like it!
