The shaking really bugged me, unfortunately. I could't see the spikes, either, which made it pretty frustrating. The main thing that could've improved it was more of an indication on where I should go. I found it hard to deal with navigating a maze under a time limit and doing platforming. Still, it's a solid first entry."},{"author_name":"brother.byto","author_uid":"14461","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 7:43am","epoch":1398843480,"text":"Yup, congrats on your first LD.\r<br\/>I found the shaking really annoying, though."},{"author_name":"Joshua_Burr","author_uid":"37414","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 10:35pm","epoch":1398897000,"text":"I enjoyed this game.

It's also supposed to make the spikes harder to see, but they're still noticeable, but I didn't want to overdo the spike size.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>My apologies, however, because the game is harder than I wanted it to be, and such as PIXEL^3 said, the arrow does suggest for you to go downwards. There are parts of the map that you cannot see, so basically you would end up having to make it or miss it just on luck."},{"author_name":"Balloonsfor600","author_uid":"35061","time":"May 10, 2014 @ 2:57pm","epoch":1399733520,"text":"The constant shaking is a bit dizzying - maybe use it at specific points to add some challenge on the hardest jumps instead.
