Nice touch to add a rewarding level :) Good control response, I love the sound of the little saw. A little bit short, I would have played more !

Solid work, I love how the physics are implemented. Reminded me of Elasto Mania a little bit. :)

Very nice physics, but the gameplay could have been a little bit more interesting

Insteresting game! Very smooth and lovely gameplay, loved it! It was a bit too short though, you could have added at least a few more levels.

Cool player controls, but agreed, it seems like this could have been more than a simple platformer. Really cool player graphic, too.

I love this one-wheel-yellow-thingy! :D Nice small game. You forgot to lock levels 2-4, I mean despite they have "Locked" image you can choose them.

Thanks for the comments! The need for more/larger levels is noted.

@doonay21: Oh yeah! Nice find. I made a mental note to prevent loading locked levels in the last few hours, but it must have slipped my mind. :P

Short and sweet, cool graphics!

The movement in this is really sweet, it's a shame the levels are so slight as I was having a good time romping around! Level 4 should show there's a bigger game to be made out of the yellowbox controls

Nice platformer. The tapping part seems unnecessary.

I like the graphics! I just wish there'd been more levels, and I kind of wish moving sideways would be a bit more responsive:/ Nevertheless, great job!:)

Ha, nice idea! love the character and the disarm-mechanic :)

Appreciate the polish even in such a short game :) Nice sync between the sound and the movement. I didn't understand at first how the jump height worked - I don't think it's exactly right to bind it to the speed, but anyway, after a while I got the hang of it.

Congrats, and looking forward to your next entries!

It was a little too short and simple which is a shame because the concept is nice and the controls and style are really cool.

Tried in chrome, the game ran alright, but bomb defuse was not possible.

Nice game. Actually I like the last level the best, nice and colorful. I needed to mute my speakers though. That beeping sound is piercing.

Good level design. Too bad that there are only four of them, I would have liked to play some longer ones.
