The combination of the lighthearted tone and interesting, quirky characters mixed together well with the simple puzzles to give the whole thing a very "adventure game" feel.\r\rOne suggestion: Only advance the text upon initial detection of key down, rather than continuing to do so while the player is holding the button down. I accidentally skipped past some of the dialog at first, which was a shame given the quality of your writing. :)"},{"author_name":"katsumottojp","author_uid":"21269","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 9:35pm","epoch":1367443800,"text":"The mechanics are very interesting, pretty decent design, with more refining, it could be an awesome game.\r\rWhats bad: No Audio, too much text, lack of other screens (intro, menu, etc...)."},{"author_name":"Alex Rose","author_uid":"19499","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 1:58am","epoch":1367459580,"text":"This was awesome. So big, and so much great dialogue.\r\rAt first I was really cocky with it too, like "Man, I'm the best at this". Then I got to level 22, and played it for 6 minutes before giving up. I kept getting stuck with one device of three devices still active (trapdoors on the midright, midleft and a sliding platform in the mid left).\r\rEither way though, it kept me compelled to try that many times in a row. Eventually I gave up because I've clearly reached my level of incompetence :p .\r\rGreat game, nice work."},{"author_name":"amodo","author_uid":"8798","time":"May 3, 2013 @ 2:13pm","epoch":1367590080,"text":"Great mechanics, great dialogue, great game :D"},{"author_name":"ddionisio","author_uid":"17724","time":"May 5, 2013 @ 6:45pm","epoch":1367779200,"text":"Love the dialog, it served the story well!
