Well, at least for me it is hehe\r<br\/>\r<br\/>soulrot, where did you get stuck? Only the orange part and the core have real collisions that can't be avoided; rocks on the outer levels can be destroyed with your bazooka!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Plus, so can the shurikens, so if you shoot them you won't need to dodge! You can also press 'q' to deactivate self-damage and use the recoil to push you out of harm's way! Our poor snail can only be so fast by himself, even with a jetpack!"},{"author_name":"soulrot","author_uid":"13381","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 2:22pm","epoch":1398781020,"text":"I got 'stuck' in the labyrinth-part. Not stuck in a game-breaking way, but I hugged the wall while I needed to get away quickly (which I couldn't due to the physics-delay), so it felt like being stuck. I personally just didn't like the feel of it :P\r<br\/>I didn't notice I could destroy shurikens! Should make things easier."},{"author_name":"kalth.streil","author_uid":"30964","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 4:47pm","epoch":1398789720,"text":"Haha yeah well... the thing is that time-wise we couldn't implement the rotation, but you're a snail, so part of the thing is that you stick to the walls and go slower (very helpful for the whole spikey part, specially the extra hard segment!). So the slowing down on touching a wall is a feature, even if it's a frustrating one! The scale needs tweaking in order for it to work properly though, so sorry for that! :(\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, make sure you pick up the half-delay pots, I had fun getting to the edge of a room full of beetles and firing away like mad, stopping shurikens mid-air! haha"},{"author_name":"jujule","author_uid":"13894","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 8:03pm","epoch":1398801480,"text":"It was so hard getting to the center I was surprised I beat the boss the first encounter!

Specially when dealing with the big-mouth spikes. Also, the music starts to get annoying after 30+ deaths.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>What are you supposed to do when you kill the central monster? I went for a space stroll but nothing happened. I also found the lady snail and Merlin.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I love the graphics and the pieces of text!

Anyways, tired from waging war with every living entity outside, you return home in your trusty 'spaceship', only to find no reception and a barren planet.\r\n\r\nOther lesser heroes would've been disappointed, but you're better than that.
