As others have said, it's a bit easy mode once you have the laser. You could solve this by either limiting the ammo of the laser, or shortening those sections so they serve more as a reward and don't get tedious. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very nice mood and sound :) I'll be stealing this idea :P"},{"author_name":"bummzack","author_uid":"23197","time":"Apr 29, 2013 @ 12:28pm","epoch":1367238180,"text":"Great game.

I know.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>When I teleported I couldn't tell if I had completed a level or lost somehow.

This reminds me of the 3D game where you run around with a paintball gun and have to paint the world to see it.  Definitely minimalist.
