I got killed like this *a lot* of times, when an enemy spontaneously grew when I was jumping over it. Some flashing or shaking would really work to warn the player that the enemy is about to evolve, IMHO.\r\rAlso, the enemies were a tad odd, in that they behaved kind of randomly, smoothly bouncing along. Some more variation in that, as well as tighter movement could be nice."},{"author_name":"BMacIntosh","author_uid":"15030","time":"Aug 29, 2012 @ 3:22pm","epoch":1346253420,"text":"Great game!

Good game though, I part of the greatness of Super Meat Boy was that although it was brutally hard and the levels were complicated, they were deterministic so that if you didn't improve by increments you only had yourself to blame, you were never unfairly wiped out by a random game mechanic. Please add a comment that you can wall-jump though, I didn't realise this until I read someone else's comment! I thought I was completely missing somethig I had to make the evolved creatures do."},{"author_name":"matthias_zarzecki","author_uid":"3880","time":"Sep 10, 2012 @ 1:10pm","epoch":1347282300,"text":"Nice work!\r\rThis has a lot of potential, and could be even better if all the kinks are ironed out.\r\rFor example, I switched into the 2nd level and still had the momentum from the last one going, so I plummeted to my death. Wall-jumping needs to be introduced in a thought-out-fashion, as well as enemies and how your evolution-bubble behaves. The grass was way too diffcult, as it just kills you outright."}],"images":["ld24\/6492-0477fb14fcd87f732a5f203f7359b18c.jpg","ld24\/6492-d233298c21c0cbf7ad0c4e3d0b232172.jpg","ld24\/6492-505ad3f6fd0ce49e860b1f6fc967a40b.jpg","ld24\/6492-c555903f56efbcde09a8ec81b4024bdd.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/73441159\/LD24\/Final\/BoxMan.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/dl.dropbox.com\/u\/73441159\/LD24\/Final\/BoxMan_Source.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"28916","g_author":"6492","g_event":"LD24","g_eventkey":"12","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"28946","g_title":"The Adventures of Box Man","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"164","g_commentcount":"15","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/6492-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/6492-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/6492-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/163678\/6492-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Box man is trying to get home but stuff keeps evolving and eating him.
