There are some features that elevate this over the run-of-the-mill platformer entry: for example, showing the distance to the encroaching sunlight is a nice feature. The increasingly difficult levels create a nice tension towards the end, and the levels are well-designed: I found that most of the difficult areas rewarded tactics rather than just persistence. The way you're chased by a wall of sunlight reminds me of "Eversion". (Though in that game it was a wall of darkness, so... a reversion of Eversion?)\r\rThe sound effects could be a bit less basic. The character and scenery art is pretty basic, too (though the all-black scenery works well, seeing how it's before dawn), but I love the background.\r\rA fun, well-paced, polished piece."},{"author_name":"Nick Weihs","author_uid":"21927","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 9:36pm","epoch":1377725460,"text":"Had fun playing this, it's challenging but not too challenging.
