I wasn't expecting much from the pictures, but you wildly exceeded my expectations! Funny and tense and very enjoyable! My only suggestion is that the air pockets kinda took away some of the tension, and you really want a lot of tension out of the game, so maybe airpockets should just slow down the rate at which you run out of time instead of giving you all your time back? Just a suggestion. Anyways, it was really good, and a lot of fun! Nice job!"},{"author_name":"shard123","author_uid":"3824","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 9:58pm","epoch":1377640380,"text":"Loved your entry, it was nicely polished and very fun!"},{"author_name":"Toadpud","author_uid":"14440","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 9:58pm","epoch":1377640380,"text":"Well done!"},{"author_name":"kebabskal","author_uid":"8353","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 10:01pm","epoch":1377640560,"text":"Very nice!

I was surprised a bit with the game, it had a certain impact that worked well for it. The game works well for the most part, I did find one glitchy-ish thing. If you accidentally jump out of the window you just continue to fall into the blackness until time runs out. A nice remedy would be to just restart the level after they cross a certain distance of falling.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Aside from that the game worked fine. As someone else noted you're going for tension here. So the air pockets really work against some of that often providing too much of an easy route out. Now, since it's worked into the gameplay already I figure a good way to add more tension while keeping the air pocket layout would be to have the air pocket slowly drain of air. Then the tension of being stuck inside without completely unlimited resources is still there, while still retaining the air pocket in the level design.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Aside from that the art was fairly good for what was done, a little rough around the edges for some things (like the air pockets, safe zones, and &quot;edges&quot; of the layout that are surrounded completely by a black abyss). The audio was fine, the song choice fit the intensity and the other sounds worked fine in the game."},{"author_name":"Xaychru04","author_uid":"16472","time":"Aug 30, 2013 @ 9:15am","epoch":1377853800,"text":"Really enjoyable game.
