Kinda liked the narrating, and honestly enjoyed it! Can't rate yet, but top score on all (except music) ;).

My only suggestion would be to have the audio narration trigger only when you first get to a level, rather than every time you die! Other than that, it felt very polished.

The game is pretty fun too. I understand the thing about the theme and all, but I kinda felt like the 10 second limit worked against you because I wanted to spend more time in the cool and immersive world. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Still, awesome work!"},{"author_name":"flavio","author_uid":"25936","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 10:01pm","epoch":1377640560,"text":"Waow, I really liked the mood of the game and the visual result !\r<br\/>Although it was though for me. I had to start a lot of times the first level at the beggining, even reaching the platform at the end and starting the animation to go to the next level, but.. too late.\r<br\/>Anyway I manage to see more ! Nice work \r<br\/>Liked it ! :)"},{"author_name":"Pinktreeleaf","author_uid":"27800","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 10:29pm","epoch":1377642240,"text":"Cant get past the first level even though i make it to the platform YO. other than that good graphics and you get points for narration.
