Hard to tell when you're the right size\/shape. Sometimes the wall is in front of you and you cant tell what shape you are. When you're small it would make sense to be able to fit in a big hole but you cant. The way input gets queued, you end up spamming a movement button then ramming into the wall a bunch of times. It would be better to not use a grid or to only take input if you're still so you don't build up a queue of old\/extra movements. Criticism aside this is a unique mechanic and a fun game. The level design is really well done. nice fx."},{"author_name":"Per","author_uid":"6781","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 8:17pm","epoch":1461096720,"text":"@RoadToSalvation Thanks a lot for your input!"},{"author_name":"Logun","author_uid":"8007","time":"Apr 19, 2016 @ 9:39pm","epoch":1461101640,"text":"I like the speed run spirit, but I insulted many time that camera ! :)\r<br\/>&lt;3 lens flare"},{"author_name":"TeamScripta","author_uid":"91554","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 12:34am","epoch":1461112140,"text":"I like the idea of the timing"},{"author_name":"tjxx","author_uid":"39681","time":"Apr 20, 2016 @ 12:43am","epoch":1461112680,"text":"Nice concept.

I initially felt that if the blob was a shape that was smaller than the hole, then it should have been able to get through. On top of that, some leniency with regards to timing the blob shape would have been nice. Several times, I felt like the blob was the right shape, but I'd moved just too fast or just too slow to go through.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I enjoyed the use of the theme, and it did feel like a very different game.
