I like that the 10 seconds are implicit. It took a while for me to realize the door will only show up after a while (instead of appearing when walking somewhere). Had a good vibe and like liked the narration. I think rotating block a tad bit (only minimally) when falling would make the falling effect amazing (it did sometimes already). The window closing automatically at the end felt magical somehow :D."},{"author_name":"manabreak","author_uid":"11177","time":"Aug 31, 2013 @ 3:32am","epoch":1377919620,"text":"@FrozenCow Wow, my exact thought about the blocks was "Hmm, it's a bit boring when the block just... falls."
