I've been looking forward to this :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I still quite like the concept. Fits well with the theme and is pretty innovative. The graphics are appropriately abstract for this kind of game.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I have no idea what happens after 2:10. It just stops?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked that I can use my gamepad - more games should do that.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The music fits the game well - pity you had to enter the jam because of that though. It seems to change when I press B though? Oh, and it stopped at some point and never came back.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Apropos B - did you think about setting legetimate checkpoints in the level? Using B feels a bit cheap, but it's much to hard not to use it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>A few small gripes:\r<br\/>- Fullscreen please! I have a very high resolution and your game is tiny on my screen.\r<br\/>- Why do I have to use the mouse in the menu if the game is controlled by keyboard\/gamepad?\r<br\/>- Why would I want to turn sprint off?\r<br\/>- A few more places where you need to chose where to jump would've been nice.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Pretty solid game all around. Good work!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>PS: I'm glad that you still love me despite my poor performance :'("},{"author_name":"Meep","author_uid":"2629","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 10:02pm","epoch":1377554220,"text":"Very nice mechanic in this. :) I loved it!"},{"author_name":"Feysoura","author_uid":"25882","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 10:14pm","epoch":1377554940,"text":"Was a tad bit frustrating.
