You did a great job with the polish.\r<br\/>Though the cutscene in the middle was rather annoying. And after that everything got weird.\r<br\/>Just on the first real switch-mechanic-level I jumped left of the pit and never was able to get back (i was supposed to get to the right). I did not want to start over as the level right before the goat took me forever to get past.\r<br\/>Still I liked the overall mood in your game as well as the aesthetics. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Great work and congratulations."},{"author_name":"BipolarMike","author_uid":"13748","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 11:18pm","epoch":1355785980,"text":"Well done, though I never felt like a villain.

Bravo, sir, bravo. I also like the music\r<br\/>I don't like the wall jumping, though. On just the second level with wall jumping I got stuck and couldn't get out, giving up at that point. Then again, I don't like wall jumping in general, but I think some good level design could help fix that.\r<br\/>Overall, I'd say this was a great game, not sure about application to the theme, but still among the better ones."},{"author_name":"raarlac","author_uid":"11711","time":"Dec 17, 2012 @ 11:51pm","epoch":1355787960,"text":"@joekinley man, I never thought of this possibility!

I rage quit before I got to the end though! I think it would be nice if there were some sort of visual indicator for when the next control-change will occur.
