Also, I don't really like the idea of losing HP over time."},{"author_name":"rwos","author_uid":"14690","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 6:39pm","epoch":1367346840,"text":"I liked the unusual controls\/movement, especially the fact that one can bounce against the walls. Though, as the other commenters have said, a little stronger influence of the mouse position would have been great. I also find the connection to the theme rather weak. But other than that, good work!"},{"author_name":"sythe","author_uid":"8655","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 9:25pm","epoch":1367356800,"text":"Floaty controls make it oddly difficult."},{"author_name":"Grouflon","author_uid":"14480","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 7:33pm","epoch":1367436480,"text":"I've got to admit the game is very hard to control and is very punitive... Touch two walls = you're dead. I did'nt have much pleasure to play it... Sorry about that."},{"author_name":"MaxSzlagor","author_uid":"22483","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 7:34pm","epoch":1367436540,"text":"Interesting idea that could benefit from more forgiving mechanics. Some possible suggestions: call out health more clearly, remove loss of health from moving around, make it easier to find a weapon (I couldn't find it anywhere in the 2nd level so I had no way to recover health). Also, the tutorial screens are jarring and I died several times immediately after the one that introduced me to the purple enemies because I was disoriented when going back to the game. Thank you for sharing!"},{"author_name":"mrexcessive","author_uid":"20788","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 8:14pm","epoch":1367438940,"text":"Like the fairy animation, almost like the click movement.

I don't think this would disqualify me, as it's a minor thing.\r\n\r\nEdit: There are three levels now and two endings. The last level and the two endings were made in the compo 48 hours, however the path to them got broken when uploading to Dropbox, and I forgot to check the Dropbox version too.<\/p>","title":"We Need Potato"}
