Having different materials that adjust your speed is a great way to control the pacing and offer little "breathers" or moments of great stress. This also does a great job of ramping the difficulty so that things like self-crossing don't really show up until later. Well done!"},{"author_name":"Zephyr","author_uid":"35428","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 4:28am","epoch":1398745380,"text":"Solid game! Reminds me of snake in some ways.

The graphical style is consistent, sharp and very clear.\rThe sfx got a bit annoying after a few levels, and the graphical style doesn't quite match with the 8-bit sfx.\rThe gameplay is conceptually simple, but very well designed. The difficulty also ramps up well with later levels, and it was a joy to finish.\rWith a few more underground hazards and more levels, this has great potential."},{"author_name":"PaperBlurt","author_uid":"26530","time":"May 4, 2014 @ 6:13pm","epoch":1399226880,"text":"WOW!\r\rI got hooked for real..\rSo simple yet addictive gameplay.\rKeep working on this and put on iPhone or something.\r\rI'll buy it for sure...\r\rGood job!"},{"author_name":"Kara Jayde","author_uid":"36048","time":"May 6, 2014 @ 3:52am","epoch":1399348020,"text":"This is great!
