LOVED the art and animation. Would like to see you do a fully polished game in that style.

I got to the second hell-level and gave up at that point.  Without any checkpoints it was just asking for too much. I was losing a few lives to levels being randomly unbeatable (like pickups being covered for most of the time in the pong-level), losing another few to those squid-things spawning right over pickups (and being able to kill you after you have picked up everything), and then getting to new levels where you lose lives to not knowing what to do.  I think otherwise it is enjoyable with a nice, diverse set of levels (I can imagine how much work it was to produce this amount of levels with so many individual mechanics).  I just wish you'd have added some dirty last-minute-hack to help with the lives-issue (like increasing them by one for every completed level, throwing the player four levels back with a full set of lives on gameover, or just dumping lives completely), so I could have seen all of them."},{"author_name":"Nehmulos","author_uid":"9775","time":"Sep 11, 2013 @ 8:48pm","epoch":1378932180,"text":"Really cool level design and animations"},{"author_name":"Almax27","author_uid":"21581","time":"Sep 11, 2013 @ 9:09pm","epoch":1378933440,"text":"Nice and very challenging"},{"author_name":"01rafael","author_uid":"11984","time":"Sep 12, 2013 @ 2:07am","epoch":1378951320,"text":"lovely grapics and mood )"},{"author_name":"Lianne Booton","author_uid":"19939","time":"Sep 12, 2013 @ 2:15am","epoch":1378951800,"text":"I can't stop seeing the character as George Costanza D: Really cool little game and impressive for the time frame.
