Pretty unforgiving killing the player in one hit. The sword swinging also becomes problematic when you hit the border and the camera stops moving, but I don't suppose there's a way to prevent it. Great concept!"},{"author_name":"kibertoad","author_uid":"7122","time":"May 4, 2014 @ 8:20pm","epoch":1399234500,"text":"Loved the music and both the ice monsters and ice itself.

Letting the player take a few hits would've made it more enjoyable, but it was still fun.

Not necessarily a bad thing, but not my cup of tea. For what it's worth, I think the tentacle eye stalk killing me with a laser was when I said, "Nope, I'm done." It was a cool effect, but pushed me over my limit of what I felt like handling.\r\rWhen the game started, I thought I was just on the main menu, trying to figure out how the game started. I did like that the main menu was "live", during that time when I thought it was just a menu. :-)\r\rThe music restarting jarringly when the level restarted was noticeable."}],"images":["ld29\/34457-095ef9522dcb6678687e36cb3a2be0fd.jpg","ld29\/34457-6aba88579f9c3d21e365cd09379da6a5.jpg","ld29\/34457-527fab4878f54fcae37f990a81de03ce.jpg","ld29\/34457-7b47015599545b9696a27920d7e5f699.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/misterwalter.itch.io\/ambassador-to-the-deep","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/misterwalter.itch.io\/ambassador-to-the-deep","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"18991","g_author":"34457","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"19020","g_title":"Ambassador to the Deep","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"443","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/34457-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/34457-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/34457-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/34457-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Run jump, jump again, and jump a third time as you try and fail to survive the onslaught from below!
