Is it supposed to only shoot you left?

The music got a bit repetitive, but I enjoyed the game overall. The transition upon getting the potato seemed a bit too quick\/disorienting. Would love to see more levels. Well done!"},{"author_name":"Jim Haslett","author_uid":"11411","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 1:58am","epoch":1367286780,"text":"Thanks for the positive feedback everyone, I really appreciate it.  This is my third entry, and I'm very pleased with the way this one turned out.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The red blocks, when hit from the top or bottom, throw you the opposite direction that you are moving.  If hit from the side it bounces you back and up.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>They were intentionally &quot;strange&quot; as it is something you are supposed to figure out through experimentation.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I definitely agree that the talisman controls are a bit complicated.  I have a few levels I created, but I didn't get to polish them before submitting."},{"author_name":"reverso13","author_uid":"12353","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 2:00am","epoch":1367286900,"text":"Very nice game!

I had no trouble with the talisman controls - my issue was with the final &quot;bounce back and forth to reach the top&quot; puzzle.

The collision detection will freak out and you'll teleport to the top. :3"},{"author_name":"SuperDisk","author_uid":"11035","time":"May 4, 2013 @ 2:37am","epoch":1367634720,"text":"This one's really cool.
