Monsters also looked awesome but they didn't shoot \/ move fast enough. Nice look overall."},{"author_name":"archaeometrician","author_uid":"27214","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 12:28pm","epoch":1398774180,"text":"Nice ! The animation of the character and enemies are beautiful !

Platforming was a bit hard at times with collision, but overall it had a really nice look and feel."},{"author_name":"baykush_figtree","author_uid":"32955","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 1:11pm","epoch":1398776760,"text":"So, i really like the visuals and the whole pointing and shooting mechanics, i think it would suit really well for a megaman-like pc game.\rThat said, \r- the "run" button was unnecessary, running should be the default movement since there is no need to walk slowly during the game\r- besides the turret, no enemies ever did me any harm\r- returning to the starting point as a punishing mechanic only works if you force the player to repeat the same steps (even tough usually i'm against this kind of stuff, but it's a design decision). Making the player walk every single pixel again just because he lost, while all the quest items and enemies are gone is just a boring thing to do :(\r\rOh, and i like the music. Kudos on that one too."},{"author_name":"Aomeas","author_uid":"35147","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 1:28pm","epoch":1398777780,"text":"Well, it's beautiful and it has a good music, but platforming is really hard with that stick man."},{"author_name":"Pinktreeleaf","author_uid":"27800","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 3:37pm","epoch":1398785520,"text":"like the line art style, but that first jump was impossible for me."},{"author_name":"radmars","author_uid":"18627","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 3:44pm","epoch":1398785940,"text":"great start! i like the characters. Their animations were great. I think my only major pain point was the controls, movement is a bit too sluggish and the jump is too floaty. nice job."},{"author_name":"wheelsx","author_uid":"37435","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 3:51pm","epoch":1398786360,"text":"This is a pretty awesome game. The line art is awesome, and the sound is good. The story seems pretty decent (given the short amount of time to write it). However there are a few flaws, the biggest being the controls being a little clunky and non responsive. Running should be default, and holding to right click is a bit pointless."},{"author_name":"Cirrial","author_uid":"1620","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 4:44pm","epoch":1398789540,"text":"Really liked the style going on here, sparse graphics animated well looks stylish as hell. Music is good too, gameplay a little clunky though. Everything feels a bit too... clunky, I guess? Too physically real, almost."},{"author_name":"aaronjbaptiste","author_uid":"19914","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 8:22pm","epoch":1398802620,"text":"Cool story and unique art style. The controls were a bit tricky (shift to run and space to jump), up (or W) for jump would have probably been easier on my fingers. Well done bro!"},{"author_name":"Garris","author_uid":"33993","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 5:20am","epoch":1398834900,"text":"Great music, and interesting graphics.

I agree with what baykush_figtree said about the inputs, in addition, it took me a while to figure out I had a double jump (I see it in the instructions now, but had just glanced over them before playing)."},{"author_name":"Konrad Zegis","author_uid":"32927","time":"May 3, 2014 @ 1:52pm","epoch":1399124820,"text":"I really like stickman sprite, and animation.
