Nice random levels by the way :D"},{"author_name":"Gravity Games","author_uid":"17764","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 4:07am","epoch":1355716920,"text":"I must say, this game was a blast to play, but it still had its problems. Most notably, your level generation code is a bit wonky. Quite often I would be stuck due to unbeatable stages. Also, the way the screen scrolls makes it hard to keep track of whats going on, especially in conjunction with the graphics used; not to say the graphics were bad, I actually like the minimalist style you have here. It probably would be better to make the screen stay still and have the whole maze show up on the screen. Anyway, those are my two cents, and I hope you continue this game, it actually has a lot of potential in my honest opinion."},{"author_name":"caasi","author_uid":"17875","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 5:04am","epoch":1355720340,"text":"Cute game, but my eyes hurts :dizzy:"},{"author_name":"Tifu","author_uid":"7793","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 12:19pm","epoch":1355746440,"text":"Second the notion that it would be better to see the whole screen, would allow for more strategic movement instead of guesswork in larger stages. Possibly a "X\/Y nodes hacked" display might have been useful for larger stages, where you can't see everything at once."},{"author_name":"Tobias Wehrum","author_uid":"2587","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 5:24pm","epoch":1355764740,"text":"This is quite hard for me. I only made it to stage 6!\r\rI think I would've enjoyed it more with fluid motions.

It's a nice, simple concept, and it would make a good mobile, pick-up game.
