Jumps are slow and clumsy and overall it's just a tedious game to play. It's clearly not designed to be &quot;fun,&quot; but rather to waste time, so I can't really rate it too high, sorry to say.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It may be someone else's cup of tea, but this embodies everything I hate in a poor platformer, except the visuals are nice."},{"author_name":"EdoMiyamoto","author_uid":"18304","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 3:51am","epoch":1367207160,"text":"I usually hate this kind of game but this one is nice, i also like the colors and pixel art here !"},{"author_name":"Nickardson","author_uid":"10937","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 4:11am","epoch":1367208360,"text":"I like the graphics!\r<br\/>Was thrown off briefly by collisions with the underside of platforms."},{"author_name":"FuzzyWuzzie","author_uid":"22923","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 4:23am","epoch":1367209080,"text":"Pretty cool, I just would probably speed up (or allow skipping) of the intro.

I was going for a more difficult \/ frustrating game play to relate to the character. I know there are collision bugs too but I did the best I could with the allowed time!

The graphics are nice and colorful but the platforming needs some work. The main thing I have with it is that you can't jump through the platforms but need to go around them. If you fix only that, the game would be a whole lot more enjoyable. :)"},{"author_name":"sP0CkEr2","author_uid":"7135","time":"May 16, 2013 @ 4:29am","epoch":1368678240,"text":"please dont take too much offense -- but that was maybe the worst jump animation\/physics i have seen -- i give you marks for finishing but it was almost fun -- it was also not the worst either -- nice effort"},{"author_name":"Benjamin","author_uid":"2952","time":"May 17, 2013 @ 7:23am","epoch":1368775080,"text":"Nice intro \/ Titlescreen :) The game lack some checkpoints.

THATBEACH is my submission for LD26 as well as my first submission to LD period. It was an awesome experience and I hope you all enjoy your game!\r\n\r\nThe game is a 2d platformer and draws minimalistic inspiration from a pixel art style as well as simple platformer. However, the Character's journey is the main aspect for the theme and I hope you guys finish the game so you can see what it is!\r\n\r\n\r\nThe difficulty is intentional and is meant to go along with the plight of the character! Beating the game would mean a lot to me.\r\n\r\nThank you for playing and cheers.<\/p>","title":"THATBEACH"}
