So I wanted to go complain how frickin hard this game sometimes is, but then I saw that you can slow down, but that was after I basically played through your game without using slowing down... However, I only was able to complete the game because you can farm infinite lives at level 7, there I farmed until the lives reached outside the right side of the screen. Nevertheless when I was close to the end, I nearly had no lives left, because the last levels are just really frickin hard. \r<br\/>The fact that you can't change speed while jumping, made it more into some sort of puzzle game, that was somehow interesting.\r<br\/>Overall: really cool rage inducing game, the post-compo version seems to fix most of the issues, that's really nice. (Although you should still be able to farm lives because you get a mushroom and some coins, but it will take much more time and is much more difficult...)"},{"author_name":"SuperDisk","author_uid":"11035","time":"May 11, 2013 @ 1:49am","epoch":1368236640,"text":"The audio didn't really fit, and the controls were a bit fiddly, but it was still a fun game overall."},{"author_name":"KevinLaity","author_uid":"20851","time":"May 14, 2013 @ 1:04am","epoch":1368493140,"text":"Fun but a little frustrating.

There are 12 levels in total.\r\n\r\n************************************\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nZ - Slow down\r\nX - Jump (the length of the press affects the height)\r\nC - Run\r\nR - Suicide\r\n\r\nProtip: Use F12 to skip a level, you are going to need it for the sake of your nerves.\r\n\r\n************************************\r\n\r\nNOTE! If the game says \"Unable to set graphics mode\" open screen.txt and change the value 0 to 1. That makes the game run in window.\r\n\r\n************************************\r\n\r\nUPDATE 2.5.2013\r\nPost-Compo version is out!\r\n\r\nChangelog:\r\n\r\nAdded - You can now control the character while in air, making the gameplay much more covenient\r\n\r\nAdded - Backgrounds! Just a little visual improvement\r\n\r\nAdded - A couple of minor changes in tileset, gfx, sfx and levels\r\n\r\nAdded - A completely new level! Now there are 13. Also changed the order of a few levels.\r\n\r\nAdded - The coin and mushroom blocks now work only once per run and change their form after hit\r\n\r\nFixed - You can now run into the direction changer block without your character flying into oblivion\r\n<\/p>","title":"MiniMario"}
