I had a little bit of learned helplessness after getting the punch ability. I didn't realize\/even try to attack the enemies until I did accidentally.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Others already spoke of the difficulty being a bit much, although it was pretty rewarding when I finally made it through. Part of it might be that you don't realize each heart is so precious until after playing a few times.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Maybe it's my 360 controller, but the down direction seemed to not be working on the joystick smoothly (deadzone issue?) The dpad worked fine though. I'm not factoring this into my rating at all, just thought I'd let you know. Speaking of controller support I love how you show the notification on the main menu."},{"author_name":"Brightstar","author_uid":"46680","time":"May 4, 2016 @ 2:39am","epoch":1462329240,"text":"Cool game. : )"}],"images":["ld35\/6930-fc4817393bf2a61a2683d4e2fc67180e.jpg","ld35\/6930-22929ab65a4bc558e5b8f2aab108a215.jpg","ld35\/6930-7937c5c39b312d5cb4178370aa6be1c5.jpg","ld35\/6930-579036f0b60707606b133eda1c2a323b.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/danbolt.github.io\/ld35\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/danbolt\/ld35","text":"Source"},{"url":"https:\/\/danbolt.itch.io\/the-fable-of-gina","text":"itch.io"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"2009","g_author":"6930","g_event":"LD35","g_eventkey":"33","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"1955","g_title":"The Fable of Gina","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"370","g_commentcount":"18","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\/\/542293\/6930-shot0-1460942439.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/6930-shot1-1460942439.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/6930-shot2-1460942439.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/542293\/6930-shot3-1460942798.gif-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"The Fable of Gina!
