I also think your game mechanic is interesting and well implemented. Sadly, one doesn't really need the mechanic (sprint), there is too much oxygen.

A forlorn, lyrical tribute to the main character's struggle. We recorded a couple of original pieces, too; there needs to be a compilation of games with original recordings.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>This feels like something straight out of the DOS shareware era. The levels remind me of the overworld in the original Commander Keen eps. 1-3. The palette is nearly CGA, but not quite.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Boost was a little unclear at first. It seemed to operate in the direction of travel when it was engaged rather than the direction held while charging. I'm not sure if there was a penalty for running into spacebugs, spacecacti, or spacegopher spaceballs; I started doing it routinely because it was easier and quicker than aiming a boost.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That suit sure is form-fitting on the back end. *whistles*\r<br\/>\r<br\/>-mildmojo"},{"author_name":"ehtd","author_uid":"11246","time":"Jan 3, 2014 @ 4:34am","epoch":1388723340,"text":"nice game, loved the mole type enemies.
