The minamalist art style makes things very readable. I was afraid that the weird depth perception would make jumps hard but they were surprisingly easy. Everything in the game works well but there isn't much there. Also, this is nit pick, it might just be because I've been playing Super Meat Boy but the continue screen got pretty annoying. I'd prefer it if you just respawned immediately.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>~AlucardX60"},{"author_name":"davidB","author_uid":"20693","time":"May 9, 2014 @ 12:38pm","epoch":1399638780,"text":"Thanks you for all feedbacks.
