I also really liked how you could jump higher with each successive coin - made for a puzzle aspect too.  It was a little hard to know where you were, and sometimes I found that crucial squares just didn't show, but overall, a very fun, very creative entry."},{"author_name":"joekinley","author_uid":"3012","time":"May 6, 2013 @ 9:00pm","epoch":1367873700,"text":"I liked the take on the theme. It was very hard to play though. I was pillaging around searching for coins and dying way too much. Also backtracking was a pain in the ass as I had to try out different routes a number of times. That got pretty frustrating.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Still a nice take, a nice game, good job you did there. I like it. It's like a minimalist metroidvania"},{"author_name":"glbs","author_uid":"18480","time":"May 6, 2013 @ 9:04pm","epoch":1367873940,"text":"It's interesting how this plays with our memory and orientation. The (minimal) visuals work really well. It may just be missing something that could keep the motivation to retry again and again to the end. Maybe some music?"},{"author_name":"tankete","author_uid":"21907","time":"May 7, 2013 @ 4:29am","epoch":1367900640,"text":"Really liked the concept. Couldn't get past three coins, though. Needs sound and possibly a double jump, at least with the prevalence of stairs taller than 1 square.
