I really like the aesthetics on this one! What you lack in graphic skills, you make up for by having this random glitch-like pattern and a dynamic, helpful background.\r\rSome levels are really challenging, especially when I want to obtain as many coins as I can. The music was a bit annoying, though it did fit the rest of the mood. The music just cut out halfway through though...\r\rAmazing how many levels you made for this. It crashes every few levels for me (terminal output "mmap() failed: Cannot allocate memory" and "Format not supported"), but luckily you made a level selector so I can continue at my own convenience! :)"},{"author_name":"daOyster","author_uid":"24971","time":"Aug 26, 2013 @ 7:09pm","epoch":1377543840,"text":"Cool game.

All local maps are stored as plaintext and are fully editable (even the title and creator fields!) \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nP.S: It is extremely easy for me to add new maps.
