I didn't make it to the blacklight though. There's some seems between the tiles visible and I had also problems sliding along tiles. I also felt like sometimes the game wouldn't react to my input but it is also possible that I just missed some rule that made it reasonable. Did you do the music yourself? Or is that actually something that procedural music generators produce these days? Would suprise me :)"},{"author_name":"ajfischer","author_uid":"3851","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:51am","epoch":1387165560,"text":"The music was generated by cgMusic. Music generation has gotten pretty amazing these days.\r\rYeah, getting stuck on walls is a big issue. I know why it happens and how to fix it, I just didn't have time. Basically a box2d issue where the wall is made up of separate tiles, so you collide with the corners of them sometimes when you slide along. I'll probably try to fix that next if I keep going with it."},{"author_name":"ENDESGA","author_uid":"19270","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 3:54am","epoch":1387165740,"text":"Couldn't understand at the start, but figured it out.\rVery nice :)"},{"author_name":"SuperPokeunicorn","author_uid":"9858","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 4:38am","epoch":1387168380,"text":"Nice Concept.

Anyway, great music and again great concept.
