Reminds me of Escape From the Underworld. Also, the concept of using your weapon to enhance your movement is nice. There seems to be a lot of substance here - complex levels (with nice layout), checkpoint mechanics, enemy behaviour etc.\rHowever, I found it a little frustrating for several reasons. Firstly, since it runs in window mode, I always kept clicking outside of the window by accident which is highly distracting. Secondly, the collision detection is very unforgiving. And finally - the checkpoint (i.e. water) placement seemed to be pretty fair most of the time, but I got to a point in the second level, where you have to execute this very long jump to the left side, where it was a bit off. I needed around 20 attempts for the jump alone, only to find myself in a situation even harder, so after trying a few more times I gave up eventually.\rAnyway, very nice concept and, for the most part, execution. :)"},{"author_name":"BerdiNerdi","author_uid":"26836","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 1:00pm","epoch":1377521700,"text":"Very interesting concept :) There's a lot of potential in this game I think, I had fun playing it. The whole dehydration concept works very nicely as a game mechanic, and so does using your own weapon as movement enchancement. Unfortunately, like what ShellfishGames said, it can be frustrating when you accidentally click outside the window since the game is running in windowed mode. All in all though, very nice demonstration of the concept."},{"author_name":"Mjiig","author_uid":"5877","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 1:16pm","epoch":1377522660,"text":"Fantastic concept, well built as well. I ended up quite invested in the game. My only real complaint was that sometimes the shape of the cave walls caught me and led to really annoying deaths where I couldn't get away."},{"author_name":"sam1373","author_uid":"24548","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 1:19pm","epoch":1377522840,"text":"Fun game, but I couln't get past the long lava pool."},{"author_name":"neekobus","author_uid":"14085","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 1:29pm","epoch":1377523440,"text":"Interesting, but almost unplayable on a laptop !\rCan we see the source ?"},{"author_name":"Dissing","author_uid":"17718","time":"Aug 28, 2013 @ 6:22am","epoch":1377670620,"text":"Ups, forgot it.

I gave up when I got to the long lava pool on the second level. Other than that, it's pretty fun and addictive in an "I'm gonna make it through this game if it kills me" way. The graphics are very minimal, but the use of colours is nice. The gravity gun mechanics are well done, but jumping is a bit floaty (which can be good in some circumstances, bad in others).\r\rIt's a bit easy to snag on the walls, but then I guess that's realistic for rough stone surfaces. Again, snagging could mean survival at some occasions and death at others.\r\rIn short, pretty fun, but frustratingly difficult."},{"author_name":"Jupiter_Hadley","author_uid":"27744","time":"Sep 16, 2013 @ 1:02pm","epoch":1379336220,"text":"Good concept, but I also had issues with the control.
