The graphics have a nostalgic feel to them.  There is a bug that prevents me from progressing though.  I keep falling through platforms, and eventually I fall through the bottom of the level and get stuck.  Maybe this is because of the low framerate (less than 10fps).  Also I get no sound, is there supposed to be sound?  I am running this on Linux, Firefox."},{"author_name":"Pietro Ferrantelli","author_uid":"30677","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 4:04pm","epoch":1398700740,"text":"A great little game !

The collision detection seems to have problems with fast moving objects. If an object moves too fast, it will be on the other side of another object in one update step, so no collision is detected. You need more and smaller update steps or slower moving objects to prevent this. And I had a problem with my small screen resolution, because the up-key scrolls the game page."},{"author_name":"igwb","author_uid":"34468","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:14pm","epoch":1398704940,"text":"I realy like the cool blue enemy graphics.\r<br\/>However, collision detection seems very buggy. I almost made it to the top on the second side, and the fell all the way down to the bottom... That was quite frustrating. Also, on the left side, you can pretty much bypass the whole thing by jumping down on the sides, since there is no fall damage. Also, the rocket wasn't realy the best weapon. It just a little slow after the fireball."},{"author_name":"dsoft20","author_uid":"8795","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:19pm","epoch":1398705240,"text":"I really enjoyed this little game :D, it works great on Opera 20"},{"author_name":"xevozfighter","author_uid":"10433","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 5:21pm","epoch":1398705360,"text":"Nicely done in 48 hours.
