It wasn't clear to me that hitting the tree hurt me at first, but after that I enjoyed controlling the player.\r\rThe opening text could do with being skippable as it's quite slow. Other than that, keep working on it :)"},{"author_name":"Puck","author_uid":"26419","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 7:25am","epoch":1377588000,"text":"Thanks for the comments! Unfortunately I had a mere hour to actually build levels after the gameplay and other miscellaneous elements were finished, so I only managed to crank out one poorly designed level. I had planned (and still do) to create four or five levels of much longer length. I do believe I will continue to develop the game to a finished state now that the competition is over, and release the full version on my website."},{"author_name":"dudsen","author_uid":"27029","time":"Aug 27, 2013 @ 6:02pm","epoch":1377626220,"text":"yup, keep working on it ! seemed quite interesting.

It, in combination with the screenshot, kind of gave the impression that it would be a dark, moody game; thus I was a little disappointed when the game started and it turned out to be bright and happy.\r\rI like the concept though; it's a shame you didn't have time to flesh it out."},{"author_name":"Lokarunith","author_uid":"25012","time":"Aug 29, 2013 @ 12:33am","epoch":1377736080,"text":"I'm sorry to say I didn't really enjoyed that little game but I have to admit you are talnted with words.

I will update my entry with the finished game when I can find time to do proper level design and polish it up a bit, including tutorial instructions on the first level.\r\rBlackBulletIV: I sympathize with your feelings. My idea for the game was for each level to advance time toward night, becoming progressively darker, more moody, and of course more difficult. Unfortunately I completely ran out of time before the first level was even finished."},{"author_name":"xrm0","author_uid":"25867","time":"Aug 30, 2013 @ 12:02pm","epoch":1377863820,"text":"Great title.
